Widget-like mini-applications for GNOME

Screenlets are small owner-drawn applications (written in Python) that can be described as "the virtual representation of things lying/standing around on your desk". Sticknotes, clocks, rulers, ... the possibilities are endless.

The goal of the Screenlets base-classes is to simplify the creation of fully themeable mini-apps that each solve basic desktop-work-related needs and generally improve the usability and eye-candy of the modern composited Linux-desktop.

Features:

  * Real applications, no HTML-"widgets"
  * Easy to use, easy to develop
  * Full compositing support
  * Works with any composited X desktop (compiz, xfce4, ...)
  * Works also on non-composited desktop
  * Included themeing-abilities (SVG, PNG or mixed)
  * Fully scalable when using SVGs
  * Embedded drag&drop-support
  * Automated storing of options (using ini or GConf)
  * Controllable through customizable DBus-service
  * Can be used together with compiz' widget-plugin to create a
    Dashboard-like feature as seen on OS X
  * Uses cairo and GTK2 for drawing and windowing
