I just got hip to these little applet thingys called "widgets". Mac OS-X |
| 2 |
started them, but in some divine miracle, Konfabulator is also a Windows XP |
| 3 |
program too. There like a thousand of these little widget/applet things -- |
| 4 |
all free -- that do all kinds of amazing things from the obligatory |
| 5 |
calculators, clocks, RSS feeds, etc, but even more advanced stuff, I have |
| 6 |
one that controls my TiVo! |

It looks like they are just basically a javascript language and a way to run |
| 11 |
them on the desktop. |

I did some google searching for "widget" and "linux" but can't find anything |
| 14 |
aside from (G)Tk stuff. |

This would be a fantastic project for someone with more X-windows/KDE/Gnome |
| 17 |
skills than me to tackle. Then all those fancy OS-X/XP widgets would just |
| 18 |
work too! How great is that?! |
