Ahhh... the desklets/applets thing. :) There was a thread about this sometime back. I have some questions about this myself.. Like, what exactly is an "icon"? (vs. say a "gadget") How does a fm (or a wm) know how to 'draw' such a thing? Where does it get info about the thing so that it knows what to do about it? If the desktop (and/or fm) component can do whatever it now does with "icons", and whatever else it does with "gadgets", then why can't it do anything with "whizblings"? Or with "wambots", or with ..... ? jose. _____________________________________________________________ It pays to Discover.
