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.
