Serious Samurize (or simply Samurize) is a freeware system monitoring and desktop enhancement engine for Microsoft Windows. [1] [2] The core of Samurize is the desktop client that displays PC statistics (similar to a widget or gadget) anywhere on the screen. There is also a taskbar client, a clock client, a server, and a screensaver.
This is a comparison of widget engines. This article is not about widget toolkits that are used in computer programming to build graphical user interfaces . General
GTK (formerly GIMP ToolKit [2] and GTK+ [3]) is a free software cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs). [4] It is licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License, allowing both free and proprietary software to use it.
As mentioned above, widgets could be written in any language for which there is an ActiveScript engine. Kapsules also supports .NET scripting languages. This flexibility allows widget designers to use and interface with a much larger codebase, enabling them to interface with a wider variety of existing software components.
KDE Plasma 4 is the fourth generation of the KDE workspace environments. It consists of three workspaces, each targeting a certain platform: Plasma Desktop for traditional desktop PCs and notebooks, Plasma Netbook for netbooks, [3] and Plasma Active for tablet PCs and similar devices.
Plasma provides the main desktop user interface and is a rewrite of several core KDE applications, like the desktop drawing and most notably the widget engine. Plasma allows a more customisable desktop and more versatile widgets. KWin, the KDE Window Manager, now provides its own compositing effects, similar to Compiz.
