Post your desktop Widgets

[Quasmo]

What widgets do you use for your desktop. I use Samurize, it's extremely customizable, and I can even connect to my router with SNMP to get the traffic of my whole network. Gotta love it.

EDIT: Updated pic, the bubble from the RSS feed is a mouse over event.

The sofware comes with an editor tool, so you actually design the widget yourself.

I made the graphs, the background images for the RSS feeds, and clock.
There are a whole lot of plug-ins for it. (I just used the default plug-in for weather.

But it can do an amazing amount of stuff (even motherboard temps and fan speeds.

I was updating it, showed what happens when I mouse over the rss feeds.

What's really nice about it, is that it's locked to your desktop, and EVERYTHING has opacity.

Also everything can be clickable, say I wanted to have a text file on my desktop (as in readable) all the time but I didn't want to accidentally open it. So I say to open on double click. It opens the text file in textedit, and when I save it, it upadates the text file on the desktop.

How is it on your resources? I use a couple of Yahoo widgets, thats it.

I have widgest in my browser but I almost never use them. I don't find I ever need a widget for anything.

I can never get used to widgets. I find them pointless because anytime I'm on my computer I usually have a browser / other program open full screen. Rarely do I sit at my desktop.

I went to the site in IE, and then I was able to download it.

 

[Quasmo]

I downloaded it with Opera.

 

[bigben2wardpitt]

sorry to bring an old topic back, but i agree with the person that said i dont find them useful. Every time i install them i never find i use them. I have a email notifier, have the weather in the always open firefox, which also has a google search in it, that also searched wikipedia, amazon, etc. I guess firefox is my widget.

wahh wahh wahh

all this negativity, sheesh.

I like widgets! Here's mine.

I'm using samurize in the taskbar, yahoo widgets for weather, calendar, and virtual sticky notes, and the launchbar at the top is Objectdock 1.5. Basically everything you could ever want. At least, I think so. Am I missing anything vital?

EDIT: gah, stupid photobucket shrunk my pic

 

[ballmode]

I just have a clock and weather from yahoo widgets.
