I'm working on figuring that out, too, but I've only had a day or so to play with it. So far it looks very similar in intent but I can't seem to find the ability to customize the widgets (changing fonts, colors, though scale is available) or easily build Frankenwidgets by taking the parts I like and mooshing the code together. Also in their download gallery theres a few which use the word "Free" as a prefix... if I have to pay for the use of a widget without knowing what that cost will be-- or worse, *rent* a widget-- then I will dump this faster than you can say Jack Robinson.

Hopefully it won't come to that, of course.

Hi, ALL Widgets in Gallery are FREE for Steam users.

Rainmeter is Great, XWidget learned a lot of great ideas from Rainmeter, but XWidget is more easy to uses:
1. XWidget had a WSYWYG visual designer and easy to create widgets, and support powful Javascript.
2. XWidget had a build-in Widdgets Gallery support one-click to install ALL new widgets.
3. XWidget widgets are easy config with option window.
