| Description: | Gwidget (jee' wid jit), is not like the 6 billion google search widgets already out there. Gwidget searches google and displays the results right in a resizable widget. Even when you click on one of the search results it still opens inside the widget. There is an option to make search results you click on open in the web browser though. There are five different colors to choose from. If you like the Wikipedia widget made by Sean Billig than try this widget out. |

It's about time someone made this widget

Function wise, this is the most useful widget on my dashboard. Formwise, it could use some sprucing up. Maybe drop the green motif? The Apple Google Widget is useless compared to this, but the color scheme is easier on the eyes.
Great work! Thanks!

This is getting much better . . . of course its already the second most usable widget on my dashboard (After Wikipedia).
I hope that you can make this widget resizable. Also, the new colors are a big improvement, but perhaps you should appropriate some of the graphics from some of Google's widget.
I made a skin in about 15 minutes for this great widget using bits of the Search History widget.
Keep up the great, great, great, great work!

Thanks for adding colours. That's one of the features I would have requested. But, the Wikipedia widget has one characteristic not included here which I find extremely useful: the ability to resize the widget.

I have been working on trying to make it resizable but it is harder than I expected. I'll keep trying but I don't know when it will be finished.
