The Community Cafe
The Community Chat area is for lighthearted and enjoyable discussions, like you might find around a water cooler at work.

Almost any non-tech-support topic may be discussed here. Discussions on religion and politics are not allowed, except for politics directly related to free and open source issues. Any topic or discussion that causes problems or drama will be closed. This area is intended for fun and community building, not arguments. Please take those elsewhere. Thanks!

Re: Sweet: Screenlets (Dashboard/gDesklets like widgets)

The best thing about the screenshot is the wonderful green background.

afaik, RYX, the developer of screenlets wants them to be recognised as a seperate app to compiz and beryl .....
(also, it's misleading )


anywho, screenlets are awsome....

(though i recommend waiting till later versions before trying them )

because (from what i've read) later versions will have source control (i think bzr), a install script (at the moment, you don't actually install them, to use them.....which has it's problems), better support for saving settings, more plugins that have been made by other people since it's initial release, etc

(still early days yet)

(hopefully RYX doesn't mind me saying this )
