I found a super lightweight clock widget that makes your Windows home screen look like this

A minimalist, transparent, and undraggable clock widget for your Windows desktop, built with Electron. Designed to blend seamlessly with your wallpaper, just like a Rainmeter skin, without interfering with your workflow.

โœจ Features
๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Seamless Desktop Integration: Appears directly on your desktop wallpaper, not as an overlay on top of other windows.
๐ŸชŸ Transparent & Frameless: No visible window borders or backgrounds, just your clock content.
๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ Undraggable & Non-Interactive: Clicks pass through the widget, allowing you to interact with desktop icons and windows behind it without interference.
๐Ÿ–‹๏ธ Customizable Font: Easily change the font to match your desktop aesthetic.
๐Ÿ“ Fixed Position: Configured to appear at a specific, non-intrusive position (20% from the top, horizontally centered).
๐ŸงŠ Resource Friendly: Optimized to have minimal impact on your PC's resources.
