Not at the moment I think, but you can always do by a f00lish way by capturing the screen whenever the list is updated, and use an image viewer that's shown always on top... You may try out programmes like www.irfanview.com (http://www.irfanview.com).

If you use irfanview, you can just have it always open, ticked the "always on top" option. And use it to capture the screen whenever, just use the following settings in the capture setup (via pressing C):

Capture area - foreground window
Saving method - Show in window

Then whenever you update the list, just press the capture hotkey (Ctrl-F11 by default) and the captured list will be updated.
