The widget themselves are very easy to make. If you know javascript, you could make one.

Getting the news feeds from opieandanthony.com/foundrymusic.com was the hard part.

Also, let me know if you would like to see any features that I didn't have in the first version and I will try to throw them in the next version I release.

Is there a way to shrink them?

Very cool, thank you sir. Now I have something to do this morning besides work.

Shrink them in what way? Make it smaller? A button to remove the links (like a minimize)?

Make them smaller. When I run both widgets, it takes up a hell of alot of desktop. I run the weather in my bottom right corner, and while it is pretty big itself, it is still smaller then the O and A widgets. If they where shrunk to about half the weather one, I would run them on my desk top.

A widget is a small program that lives on your desktop with usually a single purpose. There are weather widgets, stock widgets, clock widgets, calendar widgets, and O&A widgets.
