Is that called shell programming?
There are programs like rainmeter, classicshell
Are those shell alteration programs?
And the technique they use is called shell programming.
How come I didn't find much information/books about this topic where I can learn to
program the desktop?
Thanks
Jack

What you're looking for is a "shell replacement".

Search for GUI programming?
