The Yahoo! Widget Engine (formerly known as Konfabulator) is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that let you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Widgets can be alarm clocks, calculators, give your current local weather and even allows launching Citrix Published applications. Extentrix Widget uses XML protocol to connect to your Citrix PN Agent server -provided by the administrator- and query the entire published application list. After having the applications rendered on the widget super view by double-clicking any application of the viewed list will be followed by a request to the PN Agent server of the publishing farm to get the ICA file needed to launch that application. Having an ICA client installed on the user's machine will offer better access otherwise the java client-that have a location specified by the administrator - will be used to launch that application through the browser. The widget provides the user by the ability to launch the application either seamlessly or inside the browser.Some of thefeatures are: • Outlook Bar which enables you to check your emails, tasks and appointments. • Citrix Online Bar which gives you an easy access to Citrix Online Products • Extras Bar which offers you access to many extra applications like Citrix RSS Feed, Citrix Access Gateway and Internet Explorer.
