Through the use of simple yet powerful scripts, you can bring your desktop to life with widgets that do just about anything you can imagine dotWidget is a Windows application that runs in the background and allows you to install and display small screen objects (widgets) that perform specific and useful tasks. There are many widgets already available for dotWidget including calendars, clocks, weather displays, news feed readers, and picture viewers. All dotWidget widgets are written using VBscript. This means that anyone with a little knowledge of scripting and a simple text editor (like Microsoft Notepad) can learn to create their own widgets for dotWidget. Since widgets are based on simple script files that can be opened and viewed in a text editor, existing widgets can be easily modified, improved on, and then released back into the community for everyone's benefit.
