Welcome to the unofficial gDesklets Desklet Archive!

As most of the available desklets have been gone since the old gDesklets homepage has gone offline it became really hard to find the older desklets. So we set up this site with all the desklets we have collected and found on the internet. A very good source has been the gdesklets-data_0.35.4.orig.tar.gz from Debian which is a nice collection and holds more than 80 desklets and sensors/controls.

Please be aware that we offer here ALL desklets that we got and will be finding, even if they are very old and deprecated and will not be working with newer gDesklets versions. Furthermore please notice, that these desklets come with

no warranty
no description
and no support!

All white-spaces in filenames have been deleted or replaced.

If you have more desklets, ideas, corrections, comments etc. please send an eMail to gdesklets AT public-files DOT de .

Last update: 12-Feb-2012. 197 Desklets (including "stand-alone" Sensors and Controls) in 376 files (4 translated).

Icons

[working] This icon indicates that the desklet has been proved to be working with the latest gDesklets version (0.35.4)!
This means that the desklet is at least starting without errors. Not every functionality has been tested though!
When put in parentheses () some minor errors occur and/or not all displays in the archive are working, but basically it is working.

[open solaris] This icon indicates that the desklet has been proved to be (more or less) working on OpenSolaris (gDesklets version 0.35.4)!

[non-working] This icon indicates that the desklet has been proved to be not working with the latest gDesklets version (0.35.4)!

[tgz] This icons indicates that the archive has been taken from the gdesklets-data_0.35.4.orig.tar.gz from Debian, FreeBSD Ports or linspire and re-packed. So there is a great chance that it differs in name and contents from the original archives!

[sensor-alert] This icon indicates that the archive contains at least one sensor. Sensors are deprecated since gDesklets 0.30 and will be no more supported with gDesklets 0.40. Furthermore the chances are very high that this desklet will not work with the latests gDesklets version!

The control fetches a list of available desklets and controls through the HTTP-protocol and makes a list of local desklets. The lists are compared and upgradeable ones are marked. Fetching and installing desklets and controls is also supported, so basically the user needs no www-browser or other external applications to install desklets and controls.

For an example of a working desklet see the "UrbanExplainer" which takes it's information from the UrbanDictionary.
Of course the desklets are vulnerable to changing webpages because this also changes the DOM, but usually this is not a real threat on stable pages.
