gDesklets

Ok, I've been a long standing opponent of gDesklets, jsut because it was made really really crappily...

But they still always looked pretty.

Finally, a developer's guide, and it seems they replaced their sensors with something new... hooray...

Gonna play when I get home

I was never able to get gDesklets working correctly on my system. Everytime I'd install a new control it would always be missing tons of required modules. I finally decided that it just wasn't worth trying to track all the crap down just to have a weather applet on my desktop.

My experience is they use a ridiculous amount of resources.

Hi,

Just for information, can you say what do you mean exactly by "ridiculous amount of ressources"?

Thanks!

I agree to some degree... some of the older sensors were on real fast timers... mine used to suck up alot of memory...

I always wanted to make them work, no matter how famous these are as resource-hog...

I finally made gdesklets work on Arch sometime back.... and it is great to play with them

In my another post http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=55178#55178
I mentioned about the packages required for gdesklets
