Steampunk Hole Desktop Tidy Tool

This widget is a hole in your screen (burnt by the Martians) that can be moved around the desktop and placed where you like. It sits underneath all other widgets and other desktop items exposing the inner workings of your broken screen.

If you drop any desktop item (shortcuts, files, documents &c) it will automatically place those into the appropriate folder, for example .doc files will be moved to the my documents folder. If it fails to recognise a specific file type then you can manually add that extension to the list and it will deal with them from that point on. It works on Windows 7, 8 and 10, Vista and Mac OS/X High Sierra, (not tested on XP but it should work).

You can customise the folders to point to any location you wish, you don't have to use the Windows/Mac default folders if you don't want to.

The centre cog wheel will rotate occasionally to let you know the widget is operational, CTRL+ mouse scrollwheel will resize the widget.

This widget is really useful! Both developers of this tool have very untidy desktops but since this widget has been installed our desktops are utterly tidy. It is genuinely useful.

This is the first release of this widget and it has only been tested on three of our systems so far, Windows 7 64bit, Windows 10 32bit and Mac OSX Sierra. We would appreciate feedback if you encounter a bug on your system.

Running the widget in a javascript engine frees javascript from only running within the captivity of a browser, you will now be able to run these widgets on your Windows/Linux/Mac desktop as long as you have an engine installed.

You will, of course, need Yahoo widgets for this widget to run. Get Yahoo widget engine here.

This widget works with Windows, it has been tested on Vista, Windows 7/8 and 10, even Mac Os/X so it should work on these with no problems.

On Windows the installation guide is simple, install yahoo widgets, double click on the desktop hole widget and you are done!

On OS/X it is a tiny bit more involved:

I've bundled some icons in with the widget - enjoy them all!

This widget was created with the serious coding skills of Harry Whitfield. I supplied the graphics, the original code, the concept and idea and steered the widget toward its final goal. I also tested the widget, added extra functionality and fettled the code for release. Harry built the core functionality to my spec. but just did it far better than I would ever have done!
