About 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. The possibilities are really endless and they are always there to serve you whenever you need them, just one key-press away. The system is not restricted to one desktop environment, but currently works on most of the modern Unix desktops (including GNOME, KDE, Xfce).

      The next beta release of our 0.3x series will be out in a week. Lots of bugs have been fixed and for the first time there's real (Open)Solaris support. We'd like to thank Sun for their help and support.
      A final 0.36 should be out 14 days later. The new shell won't be included but we'll add it later, in 0.36.1 or 0.36.2.

      Have fun,
      Christian
