Download Google Desktop Sidebar Gadgets - Google Gadgets, Holiday Gadgets, Christmas Frame, Santa Clock, Google Desktop Gadgets, Memory Smiley, Battery Life, CPU Smiley, Bible Verse of the Day, Color Clock, Quote of the Day, Random Chicken Cartoon, L

ok, now I see GG depend on GD which has become obsolete. But that I still can install GG (gtk or qt) ?? How ?

I was also looking for KDE widgets that are better then the ones that are offered by the system, e.g… I never came accross a radio station/broadcast tuner widget type ?

Hi
Via YaST software management, search on google. I’m guessing you want
to install google-gadgets-qt. You should then get a menu entry to start
it.
