Any apps for iCal-desktop merging?

Are there any applications that allow one to display iCal as a background on their desktop? I know about the widget applications but have little use for them since I rarely look at my widgets. All I really want is instantaneous access to my calender without having to do any extra actions. Thanks.

I've done a little research of my own and have only found one desktop calender, but I don't think it links to iCal. I also found a forum where one individual layed out a simple way of posting iCal on the desktop as a PDF but I'm not quite sure I understand it.

The desktop application I found is called PandaCalendar and can be found at

The forum post is at

If anyone can help me find a desktop calendar that is merged with iCal I would greatly appreciate it.
