Hi. What about an app to close all open / active windows? This might be useful if you have a ton of apps / windows open, and you want to close them all. Just go to your desktop and click "kill'm all!" and bam! All the windows closed

My-Symbian got more than 25 open, and I'd imagine it would have been easier to just kill them all off :P.

What about a level widget? I'm so tired of my iPhone buddies showing me that application. It would be nice just to have it on the desktop in either horizontal or vertical orientation.

Things to note

1. pixel stroke around header portion of widget
2. shadow (black glow) around widget
3. gradient on bottom of header

How do I get this pushed to the front page? Anybody else think this one is important? We can change the icon so its not just for relationships, maybe just a silhouette and an exclamation point? And then "clicking" it activates that persons contact?

should'a, would'a could'a.... If they're not going to develop it into the OS, then I guess we* should! and if not, I'd settle for the desktop icon :P I'm not too picky. hahaha.

*we = you, as I'm not a programmer

... I can only offer ideas ^^.

I very much want a desktop widget for entering expenses (amount and category) - but then I also need of course a larger expenses/accounting application underneat to handle the accumulated data, configure currency, the user defined categories list etc + budgeting .

I want a simple counter widget. It allows you to repeatedly tap the screen in order to count something, like e.g. number of people passing by, or or number of articles in a store, dispaying the accumulated figures. It should preferably have several (user selectable?) and configurable (labels) counters, so that the user simultaniously can count different types or subgroups.

Both good ideas. The second one seems more in keeping with the original idea of this thread (to suggest widgets that would be quick for a programmer/designer to create). The first would also be useful, but as you say, would need a larger app to do the accounting side of things. Maybe gnucash or homebank?

I hope in the last 2 pages no ones mentioned something to go along with this but, instead of showing all the people online on various messangers, maybe a wigdet that you could add specific people to to know when they are online. I have several hundred people on my lists spread accross MSN, Yahoo, AIM, Skype etc. but only a few select people i talk to daily and care about when they are online.
