1. What do you mean by “Popping” a widget?

“Popping” a widget is when you want to move a widget from a website to your desktop.  If you have the desktop application running (you will see a green gear in the system tray) and you click on the green gear button (upper right or lower left) on the widget, it will “pop” the widget to your desktop.

2. How do I download the desktop application?

Navigate to our SpringWidgets “Download” page.  Once you are there, click on the green download button.  This will install the desktop application to allow you to run widgets on your desktop.
