Widget Coders: Widget Creator 1.0

Check out Widget Creator, a new folder of templates geared toward helping you create your own widgets. This little piece of freeware goodness includes a whole slew of features to help the would be widget coder: "Aqua effects templates, including the 'famous' Apple reflection Aqua effect, a 'skeleton' widget to help you get started—simply add your script, and adapt your css files, the AppleScript that 'flips' your widget, scripts and graphics if you want your widget to have a personalized scroll bar, a 'virgin' Dashboard icon that you can personalize, the backside image and the tips to recreate it, Widget Creator is here to help you save time and have more fun in creating widgets."

Keep in mind, this isn't an application to help you assemble your widgets, but rather, a series of bits and pieces from which you can glue together your own Frankenstein-widget. Also, don't forget to primp your widgets before you let them loose upon the world.
