| Xirrus Wi-Fi Monitor Controller | |
Authors:xirrus | |
This controller provides all the necesary information for the Xirrus desklet display to use.
The controller performs threaded wi-fi scanning and can rum applications in super-user mode.
|
|
| SOAP | |
Authors:lauri | |
The SOAP control provides support for SOAP based queries.
It uses the SOAPpy (which is these days already deprecated, but works).
You can install SOAPpy through your package management system (on ubuntu
the package is called python-soappy) or look for it from http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/
|
|
| GetHTML | |
Authors:lauri | |
Fetches HTML-pages and constructs a DOM of sorts. Makes it easier to quickly build desklets that fetch data from the web even if there is no official(SOAP, XML-RPC) method of fetching data. For an example of a working desklet see the "UrbanExplainer" which takes it's information from the UrbanDictionary.
Of course the desklets are vulnerable to changing webpages because this also changes the DOM, but usually this is not a real threat on stable pages. |
|
| ImageSlideShow | |
Authors:shizeon | |
Provides functions to control an image slideshow and read select image meta-data.
Requires that you have the Python Imaging Library installed.
|
|
| ntp | |
Authors:maxinbjohn | |
This control fetches the accurate time by contacting the Network Time Protocol server at redhat (0.fedora.pool.ntp.org).
|
|
| Beagle | |
Authors:lauri | |
A control that enables doing Beagle queries and getting the results. In addition to gDesklets requires python bindings for Beagle and a running instance of Beagle. |
|
| FileToList | |
Authors:cumpstey | |
Writes a list to a local file; reads a local file to a list, splitting at linebreaks.
Written because of the lack of a list type in preference system.
|
|
| FileFilter | |
Authors:cumpstey | |
Extracts all files with specified suffix(ces) from a list of files/folders.
|
|
| eBayScraper | |
Authors:cumpstey | |
Extracts title, price and remaining time of an eBay auction, given item number.
|
|
| ACPI Sensor | |
Authors:Legacy | |
ACPI sensor which is needed for the ACPI Desklet and others. |
|
| XMMS2 | |
Authors:ronny | |
This control provides communication with a running xmms2 daemon. |
|
| Desklet | |
Authors:lauri | |
The desklet control provides the next-gen desklet and control installation interface. Through this control desklets may act as frontends to the whole gDesklets system.
The control fetches a list of available desklets and controls through the HTTP-protocol and makes a list of local desklets. The lists are compared and upgradeable ones are marked. Fetching and installing desklets and controls is also supported, so basically the user needs no www-browser or other external applications to install desklets and controls. |
|
| voo2do | |
Authors:nixphoeni | |
Interfaces with the voo2do web-based task list (http://www.voo2do.com). |
|
| Mouse | |
Authors:nixphoeni | |
Retrieves the position of the cursor within the desklet. Written by Martin Grimme (pycage). |
|
| IExec | |
Authors:tmkt | |
allows execution of external applications, can't seem to find any information about the original author of this control
|
|
| Radar | |
Authors:p0ssum | |
This control provides three different radar views(local, regional, and national). It captures still images and rotates them on the screen making an apparent radar. The storage directory, URLs and length of radar loop are all configurable. With imagemagick installed, it will also create a full size radar image when the deskletradar window is clicked.
This is my first desklet, as well as my first python experience, so please be gentle. Also, the callback prefs do not seem to work properly(desklet needs to be restarted after config changes). If anyone could take a look at this and fix it, or explain why this is, I would be more than happy to fix it. |
