You can create any kind of control parented off the Shell, and then do a 
moveAbove(null) to move it to the top of the Z drawing order.  That puts 
it on top of everything.  Then use setBounds(*) to place it exactly 
where you want it.

Now you just have to figure out how to draw it (presumably with a 
transparent background) !
