Most widgets are not about making your desktop look "1337" but they have a use. For example if you have a cpu temp widget you can easyly check you cpu temp when you are overclocking. Or if you have a tv guide widget you can check the tv sechdule by just showing the desktop. The whole essence of widgets is to simply display information in one accessable place.

i used to have konfabulator but it slows ur computer down a bit but they are still really cool

There was one released this week I think that does this.

I used to use konfabulator but then it kind of went funnyy and half uninstalled itself

Im not really sure if you can call this program a "Desktop Widget" but,
it looks cool

It is called The SphereXP.
This is from their website:

The SphereXP is a 3D
desktop replacement for Microsoft Windows XP. Taking the known concept
of three-dimensional desktops to its own level. It offers a new way to
organize objects on the desktop such as icons and applications.

I would have tried it, but it seems that it would make my computer lag,
because some other guys that i read on their forums, have a better
computer & video card and it was still lagging...
If anyone tries this, can you tell me the specs of your computer?

Thanks...

I did have konfabulator and kapsules.. but they get annoying after a while.
I prefer a clean desktop :-\
