FortuneZ is a user-friendly screenlet that displays quotes from the fortune-mod command line program into a simple and easy-to-use interface.
I recently tested FortuneZ, a simple screenlet that displays quotes from fortune-mod command line program. The application is part of Screenlets, which comprises both widget applications and the widget engine operating them.
Screenlets run on X11-based compositing window managers, specifically the Compiz (under Linux) architecture. Previously, screenlets were scripted in Python and drawn in SVG exclusively. However, support has been added for web widgets such as those for Apple Inc's Dashboard, dealing with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
To run FortuneZ, users will require Screenlets and fortune-mod. Available on Linux platforms, FortuneZ's recent launch added autorefresh, enabling users to establish the autorefresh time in minutes.
Overall, I enjoyed my experience with FortuneZ, and I would recommend it to users looking for a simple but useful screenlet.
