Before you know we are having a Donald Duck Docklet and that just sounds to strange

How about Bugs Bunny? Get a licence from Warner Bros.

Allright, let's try again.
I'm sure some kids would like teddy bear icons for docks...although I'd probably just give 'em Foood's icons or those new comic icon packs on the IP section.
But we're trying to come up with docklet ideas, not icons or avatars, etc.
What would you want a teddy bear or Bugs Bunny to DO? With a docklet the idea is kind of to get the function done (email checker, screen capture, etc)...then you could choose the look.

| i know, but the icons for the different things could be based on teddies. Like a teddy holding a clock. |

How 'bout a docklet that would show all running non-Microsoft processes and display the number on the icon so you could tell if something mysteriously started. Then when you click on the icon it would show the process names and maybe even be able to kill them from there?

One that I would really appreciate is a weather docklet that works for people outside of the US. The current one uses weather.com, but requires a US zip code, while weather.com can give you the weather anywhere in the world. So it shouldn't be that hard to modify the current one.

How about an up-time docklett, also what about a docklett that would let the user set it up to do what ever they wanted it to do.

I think this is the best idea! The last thing I need before I can remove the start bar...

Yeah a systray docklet would be great...as of now I have DX running partly just to be able to use my systray object. Would be great to have a docklet though, I don't like to run DX all the time on the slower machines. 
(or sometimes I use an object bar that comes with a pop-up systray like in my screenie
)

Yeah, I also use Objectbar for both the Start menu I can't do without and the systray.

You could have a virtual pet docklet. You know. Like a cyber-dog that you have to feed and play with.
