NAME
cream-melange - Cream Melange Widget System
SYNOPSIS
cream-melange
DESCRIPTION
cream-melange provides a transparent HTML widget layer that can be used as an alternative to the desktop
shell of your currently running desktop environment. The Melange widget system is part of the Cream
Desktop Environment.
The Melange widget system (cream-melange) provides an easy to use API for creating widgets for your
desktop environment. Creating Melange widgets is very simple.
Basically Melange widgets are simple HTML pages and you do not have to know GTK+ in order to write nice
widgets. You can use everything HTML offers you, including new HTML5 features such as the canvas element.
Furthermore CSS and Javascript can be used to extend the HTML.
As if that isn't enough you can use Python to collect and process data, which then can be used in your
widget.
cream-melange expects to be run on a window manager that supports compositing (e.g. mutter). Launch it
and start setting up your HTML based desktop shell (by right-clicking on your desktop's background).
