Widgets are mini-applications that you can run as utilities on your desktop. They use a special program called the Yahoo! Widget Engine, which is available for both Windows and Mac OS X. You can download the Engine and a starter set of Widgets from widgets.yahoo.com.\n\nA Widget can do almost anything from displaying a weather forecast to playing a game. Widgets generally sit on your desktop and don't look like "normal" applications. Instead, they'll likely look like small pictures or animations.
