Hello there.
I recently installed fedora's newest release in fedora 8. I decided to give compiz a go just for fun. I discovered that it has a similar feature to mac's widgets called screenlets/widgets. I went through a tutorial located here to install compiz. Once I had it installed I attempted to use the screenlets/widgets, however I was unable to. I did a little searching and discovered that you have to install it separately. I was just wondering if anyone had any success with this? I found RPM package but I was unable to discover exactly where and how i am supposed to install it. Any help would greatly be appreciated

thanks in advance

Download them from here and follow the instructions. A warning though: a v0.0.10 release does not speak for stability. There are other widget programs that you might want to try first. (I don't know any by name)

why don't you try out 'gDesklets'? Its easy to setup and use too.

Yup, that's one of them.

Oh wow really there are other easier to use widget programs eh?
that is amazing news I had no idea. I am not to big on them really but I thought that it might be something fun to play around with I will look into both the link and the other program. Thank you so much for the speedy responses

thanks again
