Work hard; increase production; prevent accidents, and be happy.
It's fairly trivial, take a look in the Sandbox board for a posting by Maurits which paints the current date/time to the titlebar.
That said, modiying the title bar does bar your program from getting "Designed for Windows" certification. -

I presume you mean "Certified for Windows Vista" or "Works with Windows Vista", neither of which stop you modifying the title bar as far as I can see. -

as cool as that is, it's not exactly what i'm looking for.
is this how everyone does it? just like his example, but following the window around? i thought there was some way to modify the window itself... -

btw, this doesn't actually modify anything. it's a single transparent window w/ the some text in it. it's not intended to do what i'm suggesting.

you could set FormBorderStyle to None and do your own custom drawing, also resizing and movement

no offense, but that's insane in my case. i'm just looking to draw/interact in the non-client area.
this looks promising.
