Google Gadgets for Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Since releasing Google Desktop for Linux, we've added almost all of our most 
| requested features, like 64-bit support and the ability to search 
| applications and documents. All except one major exception: Desktop Gadgets. 
| Gadget support is not just a single feature, but rather an entire platform 
| for miniature applications. It's a complex undertaking, but we're now putting 
| the finishing touches on the product.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron - Screenlets

,----[ Quote ]
| In the past, I have not been a fan of screenlets. However, recently I learnt 
| how they can be presented in a useful way. By activating the widgets layer in 
| compiz, and then setting the screenlets to act as widgets, you can get them 
| to appear by pressing F9. And disappear with the same key.

KDE’s Plasma Project aims to find out who their users really are

,----[ Quote ]
| Plasma is KDE’s way of making the ‘desktop’ a better user experience by 
| letting users decide what ’shape’ it is. I think that KDE wants to empower 
| its users by making the panel, the desktop and other components customizable 
| in so many ways and yet make them work together seamlessly. The concept is 
| quite different from the usual desktop because you will have plasmoids and 
| stuff which you can tweak so that they will behave according to what you 
| prefer.

| desktop. And if you use Compiz Fusion or Beryl you can use the like Mac's

"Screenlets" v0.0.4 (like OSX Dashboard)

,----[ Quote ]
| Screenlets are small owner-drawn applications (written in Python,
| a very simple object-oriented programming-language) that can be
| described as "the virtual representation of things lying/standinga
| round on your desk". Sticknotes, clocks, rulers, ... the
| possibilities are endless. The goal of the Screenlets base-class(es)
| is to simplify the creation of fully themeable mini-apps that each
| solve basic desktop-work-related needs and generally improve the
| usability and eye-candy of the modern Linux-desktop.

Introducing Jackfield

,----[ Quote ]
| Jackfield is an application for the Gnome desktop that plays host to
| widgets; small applications to do the things you need. It can run
| widgets from Apple's Dashboard, will eventually be able to run those
| from Yahoo's Widget Engine, Microsoft's Gadget Sidebar, and Opera
| Widgets, and you can write your own.
