Is there a way to run an .app as my desktop background?

What the title says. For example Launchpad would be incredibly helpful to have as background, just like in iPad?

If this is possible (I know that screensavers are), does anyone know if Launchpad calls your background image or copies it into it's own resources? Because if you replaced your background with an app that uses your background as a part of it, you could get some pretty trippy effects going on. I'm various code languages proficient.

There used to be a way to make widgets run within the desktop but never saw anything about an app running on the background.

Thanks, I'll look into it. Poor response from this forum, aside.
