For the moment it only runs on Windows but Linux and Mac OS X support is promised to come soon.
Here are the steps you need to do for running Widgetop as a desktop application:
- Download and install Prism
- Go to your start menu and run Prism:
- Fill in the details for Widgetop:
- Select whether you want to have a start menu entry, a desktop icon and a quick launch icon.
- Finally press OK .
That’s it. Go to your start menu and find the Web Apps folder and run Widgetop.
