And I'd want to try a widget from somebody with NO history here, and who just HAPPENED to show up in this thread....WHY, exactly?<br><br>

Hey Spark- I got some free 'dinc' fonts for you too- interested?<br><br>Back in Black...

That bleepin' Sourceforge widget ("gotMailG") still doesn't work.<br><br>I went through the hassle of registering at SourceForge.net, just so I could enter the forum and carefully type out a detailed account of what I'd tried to get it to work.

One of those types, eh? That's the spirit, get all bitter about someone pointing you to a bit of free software that they spent many hours making. that's appreciation.<br><br><br>

pfffft!<br><br>

Oh yeah, I've used that widget before. It works quite nicely. I have since switched to using Gee though, just because its in the menubar and I don't switch to the Dashboard that frequently.<br><br>
