I've just downloaded the app on my laptop - it's freaking awsome, I love little apps that just give basic info - but I don't want them all 'in my face' and everywhere, so with Yahoo Widgets I've set them all to only appear when I press F8 to show widgets (heads up display as it's known I think) Below is a screenshot f the widgets I have running at the minute - I love the quick and easy access to them. Linky to screenshot The widgets that are running are: Photo Frame (Top left - looks like a pretty blank box as I have no photos on here at the minute) Tetris - like game next to the photo frame. Hangman under the photo frame. CPU monitor - shows the actiity level of both my cores. Hardware Forums monitor - it's a site monitor that shows a small graph of activity on the site - you can set it to any site you want. Battery level indicator. CPU level monitor - I guess this takes an average as it doesn't show both cores. Volume level indicator / adjuster. Clock. They're all incredibly useful and there's thousands of widgets, I've only downloaded and look through a few. So if anyone else is using Yahoo Widgets or comes across any useful ones here's the place t post them! -Matt
Very nice Matt. I have a lost one and a timer counts down 108 minutes and you have to enter 4 8 15 16 23 42....sad but a a nice little novelty tool to show people. EDIT: That is also one fat ass task bar you've got there
Nice - got any links? That Lost numbers one sounds cool hehe. Yeah I always have my taskbar double height, I just find it nicer. *EDIT* - found them.
I've configured one of my mouse buttons to be F8 so I can launch them without taking my hand off the mouse, makes things a little easier
