Answer 2

Windows is a mess of window handles and object handles.
They all hold integrity only formally.
You can find any window and its elements through WinAPI, and draw anything directly on it.
You can change anything in other people's windows and add your own elements there.
The taskbar is also windows with handles.
But perhaps Windows 10 has already added methods to make tray widgets without crutches, although I have not heard of this.
In general, the answer is, if you do it through the WinAPI functions
