Changes

If you've spent any time with Windows Vista you may have seen the small applets that run on the desktop, things such as a clock and a weather widget. It will probably come as no surprise to you that Linux had feature features like this long before Windows Vista came along. In fact, if you have used the KDE Linux desktop extensively you may have come across a similar feature called SuperKaramba. On the openSUSE GNOME desktop this functionality is provided by technology called ''gDesklets''. The creators of the gDesklets technology call it ''Eye candy for the desktop'', and once you've had a change to see them in action you will understand why.
