I installed Desktop Gadgets today and once I had it on my system I noticed that all the gadgets (silica whatever) were all pretty much already done as widgets. So what exactly is the difference between a widget and a gadget?

From here:

Widgets - ...Widgets do not require DesktopX to be running to be used but require DesktopX to be installed.
Gadgets - DesktopX widgets can be exported as stand-alone programs (.EXEs) called gadgets that require no additional files or run-times to be installed. Gadgets can be sent to any user of Windows XP or 2000 to be used. No installation required.

Thanks. DesktopX 2 could do that too, I guess they just renamed it and made it part of Pro version.

I thought the post title said "midget". Now that's a serious question.

DX2 could make widgets. You still needed the Pro version to build standalone applications. And the license where alot more expensive.
