Netglance 2 - n7.eu

Netglance2 shows (Webcam) images from the internet in a window directly on the desktop.

Inspired by Netglance from Weird Kid. Quote: NetGlance is a cool little utility for viewing pictures that change with time. For example, today’s stock chart graphic for your favorite stock. You’d normally have to keep a browser open to Yahoo Finance for this, but with NetGlance you can have it as a floating window on your desktop — and it updates itself.
