FaceTop

FaceTop (which is a cool mix of Facebook and Desktop) is this neat app that turns your desktop wallpaper into your Facebook feed. Imagine having your Facebook account peeking behind your active windows and icons! You can even resize and interact with it in a see-through window.

How FaceTop Works

Now, here’s something to keep in mind: FaceTop is meant to blend in with your desktop. It doesn't act like a regular window, so if you're using Mission Control to hide windows, FaceTop will stay put. But don’t worry—you can still hide it if you want to!

Stay Updated with Facebook

The best part about FaceTop? It keeps you updated on everything happening on Facebook by refreshing automatically. By default, it takes up half your screen, sits at 50% transparency, and you can’t click on anything directly.

Customizing Your Experience

But wait! You can change how FaceTop works. Want it bigger? You got it! Just adjust the size as needed or even max it out. Plus, you can place it anywhere on your screen and choose whether it stays above or below icons.

Interaction Options

If it's above the icons, you can click links in your Facebook account. If it's below them, then no interaction is allowed. While FaceTop has loads of perks for Facebook fans, keep in mind that links might not open as quickly as they do on the web version.

Your Display Preferences

You also get to pick which page shows up first—whether it's Home, Notifications, or Profile—and set how often it refreshes (you can choose from every 2, 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes or never). Feel free to toggle options like the title bar and window shadow too!

Your Perfect Facebook Companion

To wrap things up: FaceTop is an awesome tool for anyone wanting a super easy way to stay updated with their Facebook account. It quietly hangs out on your desktop and can be set up to ignore mouse clicks if that's what you prefer.
