New version of applet. The applet can be either one of two sizes (big or small, with big having a video length of 300 pixels larger than small version).

Youtube Applet

Using YouTube's GData API I managed to create an youtube viewer applet for awn. It is written in python, and actually I only modified code found at this post on arstechnica.com to work with awn. The applet simply contains a search box, a treeview to show the search results, and then a frame for showing the video. It searches a recently indexed (I believe up to the minute) list of all youtube videos available, so unlike the iphone version of the site (which I tried to just embedding that webpage in an applet (which didn't go well)) it will feature up to date videos.

I will post it on the awn-forums soon for anyone who wants it, but first I want to work out some issues with it (as I don't know python, so they do exist) and possibly add some features.

Here is a short video of it.

Main Menu Applets

Currently there are two versions of the gnome main menu applet available. One written in Python and one in C. Both applets are capable of replacing the gnome-main-menu applet and both contain the Administration and Preferences menus of the System menu.

The Python applet also contains the places menu. The python applet is also integrated with tracker to allow for searching for applications (and if you enter the exact application name, it will launch that app). Currently I don't have tracker installed so I can't demonstrate that, all I can demonstrate is the launcher). Here is a sample video:




The C applet doesn't contain the places menu, but it does contain everything else. Here is a sample video of it:



The python applet can be found in the awn-py-applets repo and in this thread Here

Digg Applet

This applet is based off of the mobile meebo applet, in the sense that all it is, is the Iphone version of Digg embedded in a python applet. Here is a quick video of it if you need to see what it is. The applet can be found here and its original forum post here

And here is a video of it (google distorted it)


And a screen which is not distorted

Weather Applet

The AWN weather applet, developed by Mosburger. It parses weather.com's weather reports and will display the current weather conditions and temperature in your dock. Upon clicking on the applet, a dialog will be displayed, showing you a 5 day weather forecast of your area. The applet will also display a current weather map of your area upon right clicking and selecting that option. From my experience this applet is also completely stable and it can be found in awn-extras (but the latest version can be found in this thread: Click me).

Here is a video of it in action showing the weather for New York City (Current time is 9:50 PM so icon is displaying a moon as the weather as it is a clear night).

BlingSwitcher

The BlingSwitcher applet is designed to replace the workspace switcher applet for the gnome dock. It provides a screenshot of each available desktop along with outlines of each open window. It is a full replacement of the current workspace switcher applet for the gnome bar. Check out the video to see it in action. Also based on my experiences with this applet, it is completely stable. It can be found in the Awn-Extras branch.
