I am working on a few new gadgets, or possbily a dxpack. its nothing special, but i have not done a whole lot in a while, and wanted to see what people thought.
The idea is to have several "desktop level" items (calendar/date-time-clock/and pc stats) all with a high transparancy, and kind of blending into the bg. This is just a test. Eventually you would be able to change each "sections" font color/transparancy. So if you have a light/dark bg you could have the cal dark and the other items light, etc. Its no way ready for anything. I saw someone had a program that edited the wallpaper and added "info" to it, but you would have to update that every time you wanted to see the updated stats. With this i was thinking of updating the main info every 30 mins, the cal gets updated every min or so, and the clock is every second. There is also a cpu info hiding in the stats that is updated every 10-20 seconds. I dont want this to use a lot of cpu cycles. and im pretty sure someone else has done something just like this, but i wanted something to play with.
Let me know what you think, slam it, love it, whatever. Give me some ideas on what you would like to see added. Again, dont expect this for a while, im busy as crap at work, and im trying to head out of town for a VACATION in July so this will be something i play with when i can.
Enjoy.
