Hi Guys,
Thanks for the compliments, it really does make a big difference in my motivation levels
🙂. The next version of DataFox is already in the works, this version supports MTNL and will have some multi window efficiency enhancements.
The corresponding thread for MTNL is here:

Opera Widget
Every now and then someone does ask for an Opera widget, so I am considering it now - but I'd like to know if you guys actively use other Opera widgets?
I developed the Firefox extension because it seemed really appropriate to see the bandwidth used in my FF status bar. It's also easily accessible.
When you consider a widget - any widget for that matter, it isn't a part of the browser UI, it's going to be on your desktop - it isn't really a part of Opera, other than the fact that Opera is providing the widget engine - and it closes when Opera closes. In this case there isn't really any Opera browser integration, which is disappointing - btw, Opera does not allow the creation of FF like extensions - in an effort to closely control the quality of the browser.
This is why I said above that I'd rather develop a Konfabulator (or Y! Widget Engine) widget.
What are your thoughts on this subject?
Brian.
