--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ INSTALLATION:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extract the archive into some directory. Navigate to that directory.
As root-user run "make install" (Ubuntu users just add a leading "sudo").
By entering "make menu" (again as root) you can install .desktop-files for the
screenlets (not all, only the more stable ones). That allows easily adding
your screenlets through the Applications-menu or the Alt+F2 dialog.
To generate the doxygen-documentation run "make doxydoc"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ USAGE:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Use the Universal-Applets manager:
"universal-applets-manager'
- You can run each Universal-Applets individually with (e.g):
"python -u /usr/share/screenlets/Clock/ClockScreenlet.py".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
