Thanks to an anonymous tipster, we bring you a simple HTML solution to having your XBox Live friends list always on your desktop.

First of all, you need to decide which format you want to use. Look at the images below and decide if you want to use the friends list and gamercard display, or just the friends list. If you want to use both card and friends, you will be using the 360infoctr.html file. If you just want the friends list you will be using the 360infoctr-fronly.html file.

Once you have done on all the editing, go to desktop properties, select the desktop tab, and hit customize desktop. Then select the web tab, hit new and find the main html file (360infoctr.html or 360infoctr-fronly.html) and hit ok. Once you have it listed and ticked on, hit ok then hit apply then hit ok. There you go, Xbox Live friends list active desktop!

nice program but what if you dont have a solid color background? anyway to make the apps background transparent or something?

Very good, but "360infoctr-fronly.html" is missing from the zip file.

The problem with doing this is that it removes the transparency in the desktop icons and makes them look really bad - does anybody know a way around this?

You can just resize the active desktop window to the desired size you want, instead of just maximizing it. This is how mine looks so far:
