As
we previously established, widgets are DesktopX objects that were combined
together to create some sort of “mini-application” and then exported as an .EXE
that uses the DesktopX run-time DLLs installed on your computer to run.
When choose “Load Widget”, the Widget Manager is run. You don’t really need this
program to run widgets, it’s just there to make it easy to load and manage
widgets. When you actually do choose to run a widget, your widget directory is
opened.
DesktopX includes some very good widgets with it, namely the “Silica” series of
widgets.
These widgets do things such as display a calendar, tell you how much disk space
is available, allow you to load a picture onto your desktop, display the current
stock values, give you a “To-Do” list and much more.
You can interact with widgets by Right-Clicking on them and going to its
properties dialog.
