Internet Explorer 6 appeared in 2001. In 2003-2004, he scored a record market share of 90%, and without looking at all his shortcomings for a long time held the leading position. Today we are witnessing the end of the era of IE6. In order to observe this process, I implemented the idea of yanajy . Now we can directly on the desktop watch the image of the IE6 logo stretching into the shadow.

Data is automatically taken from liveinternet.ru statistics by week . The script generates a picture that is referenced by a regular HTML document, which is actually set as the desktop.
Used quite a large scale. Blackout of the first pixels of the logo on the left begins with 25%. The letter "e" completely hide in the shadows at 5% share. The remaining tail at the top will reflect the gradual loss of the last five percent. The image is updated every day.
In Windows XP, there are 2 ways to add an HTML page to your desktop. The standard way (Display Properties-> Desktop-> Customize Desktop ...-> Web) disappears, because it creates an interactive browser window on the desktop — a frame appears when you hover, and several controls appear when clicked. The second method is devoid of these shortcomings, in it the HTML document as a normal image will be displayed on the whole screen in the background. To do this, in the desktop picture selection window (Display Properties-> Desktop-> Browse ...) you just need to manually enter the name of the HTML file.
Linux users can tell in the comments how to put this miracle on the desktop - I will be grateful.
