@polyfloyd i love how not-made for many gigabytes of RAM the RAM stats widget is

@polyfloyd@hsnl.social i need this so much
it will look completely and utterly out of place on my desktop but i need it

@polyfloyd@hsnl.social this looks so cool

@polyfloyd@hsnl.social I hope you're porting over the numerous vulnerabilities from Windows' implementation ​:02chibi:​

@polyfloyd i asked for this, you just didn't know this yet. ping me when you get this running on gnome

@polyfloyd Looks so cool :D
Time for someone to make a distro with a Windows 7 theme and these widgets for the people who insist on staying on windows 7 XD

@polyfloyd@hsnl.social Damn I didn't know I missed these Gadgets so much before reading this message, thank you 😭

@polyfloyd the vista era was when i really started to look into switching to linux full time. the irony with that was that i actually found the vista hate to be overblown. i found it to be fine, good even. but i happened at the time to start believing that the best way to make the world better was to spend as little money on anything as possible as an act of rebellion. anyway. i got of topic there a little bit. i think celebrating the things vista got right is a good thing

@polyfloyd damn, windows 7 was fun...

@polyfloyd@hsnl.social i asked for this

@polyfloyd I didnt ask but damn THIS IS FUCKING BASED.
keep up the work, man.

@polyfloyd hell yes

It's still super limited in functionality and only runs on whatever GTK-Layer-Shell supports. I doubt I will spend a more time on this than a few hours per week.

But you can play with the 3 gadgets in the screenshot though. Have fun making Frutiger Aero unix porn screenshots y'all

@polyfloyd Wait is this the precursor to Microsoft immediately-deprecated windows 8 JS app platform?

@polyfloyd can you do Dashboard widgets next they’re also just html

@polyfloyd These were nice little useful tools. I did a few articles for printed magazines back then.

@polyfloyd I love it. I'm curious how big the delta would be to do Konfabulator widgets.

@polyfloyd ooh do i miss that CPU gauge, thanks for doing miracles here!

@polyfloyd that's... actually pretty rad. Nice work!

@polyfloyd This will be interesting

@polyfloyd I dreamed of it since so long 😭

@polyfloyd wtaf

@polyfloyd it should be possible to do something similar for the MacOS X Dashboard widgets from the early 2000s, they were also web stuff rendered by shapeless windows.

@polyfloyd This is what we needed but no one was brave enough to ask for.

@polyfloyd "Because I can" © 😝

@polyfloyd :blobaww:

@polyfloyd beautiful

@polyfloyd vista cpu gauge my beloved........... it lived right alongside my yahoo widgets

@polyfloyd oh my goodness, core memory unlocked

@polyfloyd dang, this takes me back

@polyfloyd @cassidy my god that vroom widget and the feelings it brings back

@polyfloyd I'll take all of them

@polyfloyd @yaakov that analog clock always had quite a nice aesthetic to me…

@polyfloyd
These look nice

@polyfloyd You're right, I didn't ask for this, but if I'd thought of it and I knew that it was possible I absolutely would have.

@polyfloyd macos 2 pls

@polyfloyd give us a repo 😍

@polyfloyd puzzle widget?? can the puzzle widget be ported with this??

@polyfloyd no one asked for it, because no one knew we needed this 🤩

@polyfloyd valid as fuck
Keep doing weird things that absolutely no one asked for, I'm sure someone loves the heck out of this

Was not expecting this to blow up 😬

@polyfloyd wait, where is the puzzle game widget?!! :(

@polyfloyd Awesome!

I wish Win10 had this stuff. And desktop sticky notes. And the ability to tablet scribble on the desktop. Windows has had so many sweet features.

@polyfloyd LETSGOOOOOI

@polyfloyd@hsnl.social any dots?
I wanna see/touch it. ​:senko_shock2:​
