ColourMod :: Dynamic (DHTML) Color Picker

It was only a matter of time before Microsoft would jump on the “Widget” bandwagon, only they are going to be calling their “Widgets,” Gadgets. This is a very interesting development in my mind. The structure of Microsoft Gadgets is RSS/XML/DHTML based, meaning that you will be able to use a Gadget via a web-browser. Why is this important? Because Microsoft Gadgets will be internet based, not OS based. Start.com is the access point where a user’s Gadgets will be stored and will be the method, it seems, that the Gadgets will be served to a person’s computer by (provided you are running Windows).

As usual ColourMod will have a Microsoft Gadget version. As this technology progresses I have a feeling you will start seeing the Widgets and the Plug-N-Play versions blur.
