Hi peoples,
i've been trying to work out a way to produce some form of active desktop which can display all sorts of information (like email, hardware temps, weather, etc). I don't wanna use a program like coolmon which just runs above the desktop. I want to actually use a HTML file as my desktop which automatically updates itself. I have tried many things like embedding a custom applet in an HTML file and then using that but it seems as thought applets don't work on the desktop for some strange reason. I've been working on this for about 3 days now. Any thoughts/help/suggestions?

Thanx
