Thanks Gaspershooters, but I mean to create as something new. A new idea or function or gadget thing that someone wants.
Or something current ones don't do that is wanted.

Hey Skarny!
I really need to get up off my PC and walk around once in a while.
A timer that detected input (keyboard or mouse clicks) for a user set amount of time and if it didn't stop for five minutes (time to get coffee or whatnot) throw an alert/darken the entire screen except a button in the middle of [each] monitor that won't clear for five minutes.
GO!

Hey Skarny ! 
If you could make anything for "Optix Fire" it would kick ass !!

On it.
I defer to the amazing RND if you want a suite of widgets to go with your theme - however - if you want something specific that isn't something done yet...

I second Zu's idea...would be awesome. But I don't have desktopx, what are xwidgets? Do they stand alone?

No, they, like DX widgets, have to have a runtime installed.
DesktopX widgets needs DesktopX installed. A gadget is standalone. It needs no runtime/software installed in order to run.
XWidget widgets need XWidget installed.
A Yahoo widget would need Yahoo Widgets Engine to be installed.

I'd like a steampunk style clock that runs backwards, like the clock in the beginning of the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", except actually place the numbers backwards.

If Skarny gets to busy with the other request I can do this for you no problem. I know how to make xwidgets and clocks are my favorite to do.

Happy for others to take on suggestions 
If anyone gets stuck we can then collaborate on solutions/ideas 
Just make a comment on what you plan to work on so others know you are doing so and then can save duplicate work / encourage communications.

P.S. I have DesktopX Pro which means I can hopefully make things run standalone even if you don't have DesktopX - not everything plays nice as a gadget however.
