I'm using the "Yahoo! Widget Engine", previously known as Konfabulator if I'm not wrong. I'm actually curious to know if there are any highly recommended widgets out there for Windows XP. By the way, in case I don't post any time soon, it's cos I'm busy with school. So thanks in advance and any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for the links, but are Apple widgets compatible with the Yahoo! Widgets Engine I'm using? I'm running on Windows XP. Thanks.

Hmm... I've not tried running Apple widgets on the Yahoo widget engine, and i'm not sure if they'll work. But if you're using windows and not a mac, you can try using the Yahoo widget engine.

Unfortunately i have always found yahoo widget engine to be quite a memory hog and so stayed away.
Lately however i have been using a sweet little program called "Avedesk" which offers all the functionality and is very easy on the memory. Some of you guys might wanna give it a shot. I currently use the following widgets:
calendar
itunes
system volume
quick notes
active harddrive shortcuts
