Off-plane WPF Application

I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I am trying to turn an analog clock application into a windowless clock. I searched google, but I think my problem is that I do not know the correct term for what I am trying to do.

My analog clock app is a circle that contains hour hands. This is contained in the window, as in most other applications. I would like to remove the window and show only the clock in front of the background. I could call the close button, possibly on the mouse. Or, perhaps, I could make the whole window transparent, except for the clock and on the mouse, I could see the window and close it.

Does anyone have any experience? Maybe some tips or a tutorial somewhere?

Thank,
