I know this is boring but there is a lot of diamond's in the rough for DesktopX that could be polished up.

For example, Martin's drive light widget is very nice but it's kind of ugly:

Would be nice if there were more good graphics designers out there who could look at this stuff and make it..well easier on the eyes.

ok, whadabout a widget that lets you select 2 fighters and they duke it out on your desktop MK or Street Fighter-style. could include, but not limited to, fighters from those games, different shows, movies, video games, or just original characters.

What about a RAM meter widget that could free up ram when double clicked, like FreeRAM XP.

I'm looking for widgets, like hardware "health" in sysmeter, i.g. temperatures, fan speeds. there should be some triggers to do something, i.g. cpu temperature to high -> play sound, change wallpaper, flash a widget with a red lamp, ...

Maybe I just haven't seen it and since I know nothing about scripts, I haven't tried to make one...but..I would like to see an Album Art Widget that is NOT tied to Itunes. (I don't use Itunes) Something for Winamp and Mediaplayer. So far, I have only found one Winamp skin that even has that feature. Something simple, like the Silica Picture frame, with an obtrusive border.

There 3 that I know of. https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=561&LibID=34 , https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=436&LibID=34 and https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=391&LibID=34 although the last one doesn't get the covers from the insternet. I'd recommend the 2nd link since mine is incomplete.

Umm... what exactly is an LED Equaliser?

Do you mean an LED audio spectrum analyser?

Yepp, I don't know the exact expression, but this sounds good. You can see this i.g. with the winamp player

Just more " fun " type widgets..like Tiggz last one " Tiles "
I love the widgets that are just to amuse. I like things popping up and flying by...I know the men prefer the technical type meters and such.

One widget I miss is the silica song lyric widget...it stopped functioning awhile back..maybe a change of script..not sure what happened to it.

How 'bout a desktop garden or flower box that actually "grows" according to how much you "water" it? Could come with a "watering can" and you could download different types of flowers to "plant" in the flowerbox or garden. It's no more useless than the desktop pet so I think it'll be nifty. That's my 2 cents anyways.

My idea is a bit goofy but.......

I'd like a widget that helps you change .wav system files on your computer. I do this all the time and, it's another nice, yet little used customization.

For instance, when I shut off my weather radar, Daffy Duck says "You're Despicable".

It's a little odd I know but it's kina fun as well.

I would like to see a cross between "screen" by Dreamdesign3d found here and ObjectDock....click the "screen" and the dock opens like the anamation of screen, click it again and it closes. It would be another option of hiding the dock.

I am currently trying to create my own customizable splash screen. When you first load up your computer or station a splash screen appears with a cool sequence of images, music, and messages. It's going at a snail's pace but if anyone else could accomplish it that'd be nice.
