dotWidget R0.8 is finally out! Rather than get bogged-down in public betas, we've gone for a full-blown release instead so download it, try it out, and get involved in making dotWidget the most popular Widget app for Windows there is!

dotWidget is a Windows application that runs in the background and allows you to install and display small screen objects (widgets) that perform specific and useful tasks. There are many widgets already available for dotWidget including calendars, clocks, weather displays, news feed readers, and picture viewers - to name but a few.

All dotWidget widgets are written using VBscript. This means that anyone with a little knowledge of scripting and a simple text editor (like Microsoft Notepad) can learn to create their own widgets for dotWidget. Since widgets are based on simple script files that can be opened and viewed in a text editor, existing widgets can be easily modified, improved on, and then released back into the community for everyone's benefit.
