It's all right... there are a few issues with it.

First of all, don't get me wrong, this is the best widget implementation of a Gmail checker I've seen. :-)

Secondly, having it start Classic for no real apparent reason is... unusual, and kinda annoying.

After those issues are resolved, it will be the perfect Gmail widget. I do feel those are relatively large hangups, though.

In the vernacular, this roXorZ. No complaints here. And seriously, do you really _need_ to check your Gmail every single minute? I know I don't.

Teh awesome.

Nice widget, but a few tweaking needed
- when launced, it started mac classic
- can you make it hide the password? cos anyone can right click the widget and get my gmail password, not secure at all.
