Your favourite widgets?

[Crazy Jamie]

This is more of an information thread for my benefit, but what are your favourite widgets?

At the moment I have a digital clock, with iStat Pro just below (great little thing), then I have a Sky Sports News headline scroller on the right and a weather forecast on the left. I'm interested to see how other people have their widget displays set up.

I have istat pro, screenshot plus (great, quick screengrab program), dilbert, dictionary/thesaurus, word-of-the-day, a bible verse looker upper, weather, calculator, XBL friends list, Simpsons movie countdown, and a very depressed Battlestar Gallactica robot

You've inspired me to go look at new ones :)

I don't have very many that I like... but I have a poker odds generator, a Futurama quote cycler (thanks kut), and the ones that the computer already had when I got it. I really have been meaning to get more, I've just been doing other things and forgetting about it. I might as well look now.

pearlyrics (best lyric widget but they were forced to take it down for some reason. if anyone needs it i could send it), scoreboard (baseball scores), mlb themed feeds, sudoku, futurama quote generator, simpsons quote generator, weatherbug, tvforecast (only one i found that does american shows. truly amazing), gmail, showoff (how long my computer has been on and the max time it has been on)

those are the ones i have open all the time

A screenshot of mine below. Lots o' fun things. Anyone find anything terribly addicting or useful in recent searches?

Where did you get your wallpaper Kid_A? That is so colorful. :)

Thanks for the tips, too. I just downloaded the Gas widget and the Asteroids Widget. I also have been using a sudoku widget.

i already had the gas widget, but what is the one you have on the bottom?

I've found I just don't like doing sudoku on the computer as much as I do with a pencil and paper. *shrug*

great icons & bg's for macs (and PCs).

iStat. Tells you space used, ram used, computer temperature, processes running, etc. Fairly customizable too. I'd recommend it. :)

iStat is the only widget to consider for performance. You can customise what it shows, and it's just so much more complete compared to the others of its kind.
