Weekend's okay. For fun, Ubuntu, first you want to use Windows desktop.
Desktop shortcut is to the/usr/share/applications/below the application launch file copy to the desktop;
The following is mainly about how to add a desktop control. I'm using a conky.
Look at the effect, actually there are many other controls that just need to be downloaded separately:
Installation method:
The first thing to install is conky:
sudo apt-get install Conky-all
Then install the GUI Manager:
sudo add-apt-repository Ppa:teejee2008/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install Conky-manager
The interface after launch is shown in the image above.
Select the controls, and the check box will appear on the desktop, you can set it, and you can edit the control's script directly.
The time control I have shown in the above figure is the script I modified, mainly to remove the Chinese characters and modify the layout. My revised script is as follows:

All right, let's add some more fun!
