SpyGamer Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Are there any widget apps for linux (gnome)? I know about karamba, but it's not good. I'm running ubuntu. Link to comment
Benji Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Well, Ive actually heard on Digg, that in KDE4, apple is giving them permissiong touse dashboard widgets as the main widget app. Not sure it will have Dashboard per se, but its damn close. Link to comment
SpyGamer Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Anything for gnome? Link to comment
zero_tek Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I think the only ones are superkaramba and karamba... The next major release of gnome is supposed to support custom widgets. Maybe someone has some other options, sorry. Link to comment
aquaman99 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Gdesklets- gDesklets is a system for bringing mini programs (desklets), such as weather forecasts, news tickers, system information displays, or music player controls, onto your desktop, where they are sitting there in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness.

Hellmark Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 To add on to the thing for KDE4, from what I've heard, there's supposed to be like a ~90% compatability rate for dashboard's widgets, with the only stuff not running is Applescript, and such. Link to comment
SpyGamer Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 If they do it, I'll probaily try kde again Link to comment
llamapalooza489 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 KDE4 is going to be amazing, I think it'll finally be a complete linux desktop solution. Anywho, I've always wanted to give Gdesklets a try, but I couldnt get it running on Suse (was running gnome of course) Link to comment
Fred.cpp Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 on ubuntu:sudo apt-get install gdeskletsThey work flawless and are very nice looking. Link to comment
Guest micky Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 You might check this out: http://www.kryogenix.org/code/jackfield/introductionIt says it runs Apple widgets now, and it'll eventually run Yahoo, and M$ ones. Link to comment
