friends,
I was trying to add widgets in my ubuntu karmic . After googling I
found many options like screenlets , gdesklets. Which one is the best
one.
I feel that screenlets is supported by many.

Ubuntu looks good on its own, why make it look like vista.

it's not like a vista transformation..
just adding widgets to the desktop.
Don't be so hard with MS :)

I used Screenlets with Intrepid and I liked it but it was too buggy
then. I have also used gDesklets and that did not fascinate me much.
Annoyed with screenlets, I started using conky sidebar. It doesn't
look that great, but gives all the info I need. I've customized an
available .conkyrc file. Download it here:

.......vista ko theme testo ramro 6 ra?????
............if really fond of theme.......KDE is better then any other
desktop environment....

...............gnome is best at its initial

..................i think there should be discussion on KDE or GNOME
theme rather than M$ themes

I agree with deeps. KDE with Plasmoids will make your Desktop look
awesome.
