Springbox.com offers a widget engine and they claim it works on the desktop as well as the blog/site.

I’ve seen it and it looks attractive, especially if you have a dark theme for your blog. It seems as though you will be able to skin it at a later date. Right now access is limited to the deafult skin (as far as I can tell).

For the blog/site, every widget is an embeddable flash object with some standard customizations you need to make before you copy the script for your blog.

I don’t have plans to download the widget engine for the desktop, as I have no interest in desktop widgets at this point. Widgets need “more”. They need to be more than a fancy distraction from what I love (wandering the swamp)

If, by some offhand chance the program on my machine would allow me to control the widget on my blog (no log in b.s.) then I will consider using it.

But for right now… it’s a nice looking, attractive addition to any blog.
