Is this the same text each time? Like the tables of unicode to linguistic symbols that grace the sides of your laptop? You can use many different tools to draw a fixed png image - which you can make your desktop background, replicated along the top and bottom and sides. So rather than making something pop up, you can temporarily shrink a foreground window and look at a portion of the background image. Damned simple compared to writing a program, and platform-independent. A tastefully-done screen-sized background image of linguistic symbols would be welcomed by linguists everywhere, and get you invited to All The Best Parties.
