weather. Move, resize, add and remove them right on the desktop. -
Private:

sites they list.

Light on your PC. Animations pause during games, full-screen video, with maximized windows,
on battery and while the PC is locked. -

Mods. Anyone can write widgets in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. They run in a sandbox and stay
off until you approve them.
