RE: plugin/widget api the same thing?
Feb 14 2007, 6:22 PM EST I dont' think so. I think plugins would reside in AWN itself, expanding its funtionality, while widgets would detach from it. However, I do not think AWN is the right place to do widgets. They are better left to a standalone program like Screenlets: http://screenlets.org/ Do you find this valuable? |

Feb 14 2007, 9:48 PM EST "never heard of screenlets are they new? have you tried them, are they good? Also have you tried em with beryl's widget layer?"Yes I've tried them, and they are good. Not many right now, but it's only version 0.0.7, so it's got lots of time to improve, and its remarkably stable for such an early release. I maintain an Ubuntu repo for this too. See here: http://syzygy42.tuxfamily.org/dists/edgy/screenlets/ I even have the beryl widget plugin in the repo, so everything you need is there. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
