Access daily online comics directly on your GNOME desktop with our software, offering a convenient way to stay updated with your favorite strips. Enjoy humor and entertainment in real-time, without interrupting your work.
ComicStrips is a fantastic GNOME screenlet that allows you to view your favorite online comic strips on your desktop. This application has an extensive library of comics available, including Garfield in English and Spanish, Calvin and Hobbes in Spanish, Pipingard, and Tira Ecol.
For those who are not familiar with Screenlets, it is both a widget engine and a set of independently-developed widget applications. The engine works seamlessly on X11-based compositing window managers, particularly on the Compiz architecture for Linux.
Previously, Screenlets were written solely in Python and drawn in SVG, but after version 0.0.14 came out, it also began to support web widgets. These widgets are coded in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS and are quite similar to the widgets created for Apple's Dashboard application.
Overall, ComicStrips is an excellent application for desktop comics enthusiasts who want to have their favorite strips available on their desktop at all times. With its abundant collection of comics and seamless integration with Screenlets, ComicStrips is a must-have for any comic lover.
