DeskBlox

If you're looking for a cross-platform scripting engine that can run small applications called "Widgets," then DeskBlox may be what you need. The good news is that widgets written for DeskBlox can do pretty much whatever you want them to do, from providing simple activities such as clocks and calendars to providing very complex functionality like peer-to-peer file sharing or remote program execution.

Widgets for DeskBlox are typically coded in JavaScript or Python, and they can blend fluidly into your desktop environment. This blending is possible because they utilize existing desktop capabilities of the platform. They are not constrained by the traditional windowing environment supported by the window borders.
