gDesklets - GNOME Desktop Applets
gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets - tiny
displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and
usefulness.
Populate your desktop with status meters, icon bars, weather sensors,
news tickers... whatever you can imagine! Virtually anything is possible and
maybe even available some day.
Here are some screenshots to whet your appetite:
The system consists of three parts: the gDesklets core (a daemon running in
the background), the Sensors (providing data and processing user actions), and
the Displays (what you will see on the screen).
New Displays can be put together by simply composing widgets and Sensors in a
XML file. Advanced users may also create new Sensors easily.
As of now, Sensors are restricted to Python modules, but we are planning to
extend this to scripting languages like Perl and Ruby, and to C as well.

Have fun!
