Widget: SimAquarium

Widgets everywhere nowadays. Even the W3C is doing work on it calling it Web Applications Packaging Format Requirements. Doug Schepers suggested to name it Web Rich Application Packaging, a long word for wrap. Too bad we didn’t. Opera does widgets too, but since I already have a clock and wasn’t particularly interested in one written in SVG I didn’t really use them. Until now.

SimAquarium is all the widget you want. You can buy fish that won’t die, put them in front of a browser theme and buy transparent lights. What more do you want?

  1. I really like how this is all just js in a zip file. Much easier to hack. :)
