What is "Desktop Messager"? (first word is english, second one IS NOT misspelled, it is a french word thank you)

Desktop Messager is a useful and funny application that lets you draw or write texts on your desktop.
Use it to leave a message/drawing on your desktop or just for fun. Messages are fully customizable
and can also be saved and played back. In fact, the way they are displayed is also very interesting
because the sequences are played chronologically as during the recording, exactly as you drew them!
