Kapsules is desktop widget engine for Microsoft Windows, which enhances your desktop experience.

What's a widget you say? A widget is like a miniature application which rests on your desktop. Widgets can do all sorts of things. A widget could show you the current weather conditions, display news from your favorite website, or even check your email for you.

Kapsules makes use of the Microsoft Active Scripting Engine, which is a part of Windows. Using thisbuilt-in scripting engine, Kapsules can allow widgets to be written in a multitude of scripting languages, provided that a user has a language's add-on engine installed. That being said, widgets can make use of a certain languages strengths, weaknesses, and special features. Kapsules does not limit a developer to what language they can use!

I need to learn how to program in vbscript since I already do vb .net. This looks awesome.

If I'm looking to replicate AveDesk's functionality (i.e. mainly displaying of folders with some nice snazzy and text effects), how well does Kapsule stack up to the task?

Why not just use vb.net to write a widget, it's one of the 7 scripting languages supported. ;)

Pretty dang well if you ask me ;) But I am the developer. If youre looking to write some widgets to accomplish that, http://kapsules.shellscape.org/dev is your goldmine.

And to all who have said 'thanks for the info' no problem :) Thanks for reading the post!
