Hello There!

Welcome to yet another edition of the Compiz Fusion Community News, lots of cool new things for you to try out this time (and even more for users of those other OS’s to be jealous of). This time we’ve got a few bugfixes, a sleek new curved expo mode, screenlets supporting web-based widgets and a re-write of the Wallpaper plugin.

Also new, but not covered in this post because I already covered it is the new Freewins damage and shaping engine.

News in Features

Webgits!

Well, whise (The main developer of screenlets) has added functionality to the main screenlets branch which allows you to use web-based HTML widgets and gadgets as screenlets! Unfortunately, I’m not able to grab screenshots, but it allows you to grab the widget’s code location from Google Gadgets, Spring Widgets, WidgetBox and Yourminis Widgets and display that web widget as a screenlet. Darknesssssskrad makes a great video tutorial on how to grab a widget from the web and turn it into a screenlet
Web Widgets are certainly my Screenlet of the Week!

Curved Expo Mode
