Windows Manager Program

Hi guys.

first of all i wanted to explain this question. some of the people on here know what the Steam Game overlay is correct? The Game overlay kind ghosts, or slides over the game that is open. I kind of like this idea, but i want to implement it differently.

Is there a program out there that would let me do that but control windows and programs. For example, I use Skype often because a good portion of my friends use it. I hate having the window open and needing to resize it or move it around. I like to have Facebook open, but i hate moving the broswer around and resizing it and minimizing it.

^the above sounds lame and lazy but it is what it is.

Is there a way that i can setup a way to have my social media and chats and everything on 1 pane or window and be able to hide it 100% when i'm working on something else, or just to keep it out of the way?

Thanks guys
My thoughts are out there for those who got crapped on by sandy wind.
