Could you build this?
Partial Building a low-level Windows shell extension that hides the native taskbar and intercepts window management APIs requires deep Win32/C++ system programming.
What it would actually take: Developing this requires C++ or Rust with extensive use of the Win32 API and Windows Shell APIs (such as `SHAppBarMessage`, `SetWindowPos`, and undocumented shell hooks) to suppress the explorer taskbar and manage desktop work areas. It also requires an efficient hardware-accelerated GUI renderer (e.g., DirectX/WinUI/Skia) running as a persistent background process with minimal CPU overhead, needing specialized desktop systems programming expertise.
