A simple Yahoo! Widget desktop calendar that sits on your desktop. It has two themes included and more can be created and added via the Widget data folder for those so inclined.

The Widget was originally conceived as a widget for allowing a user to pick a date in a graphical manner. It was then subsequently turned into a "static" desk calendar, because that was just a small subset of the functionality required for the original intent. The Widget attempts to draw everything in Canvas as much as possible to avoid needing resource-supplied images. Unfortunately this also means it must cache its own images because of the lack Canvas text support in the Yahoo! Widget Engine.

A simple sphere-only ray tracer Widget. Originally designed for the Widget 16k contest, I posted it to the gallery after the contest fell through. Rendering the default scene should take anywhere from 2 to 10 seconds on a relatively fast computer.

You can add up to 10 spheres of various colors, sizes, and distances to be rendered (an arbitrary limit of the GUI size). The light-source can also be moved around.

A visual Tree structure created via Canvas-drawn objects. This can allow for displaying such things as simple XML, or just a plain old menu. The API should be flexible enough to do a wide range of things. The class doesn't handle loading large data sets for you, that must be handled via a lazy-loading setup, so be aware.

The font size can be customized at the creation time of a node and the renderers can be replaced with custom ones to draw various nodes differently.
