Options include GTK+ for the GNOME desktop and Qt for the K Desktop Environment (KDE). Both platforms offer everything a developer needs to build a GUI application, including libraries and layout tools to create the windows users see. This article shows you how to build desktop productivity applications based on the screenlets widget toolkit (see Resources for a link).

Step 2: The Preparation Now here's how you can easily turn a regular wireless antenna into a super extender antenna with twice the range and twice the power. Step 3: Create The Coil Measure off two and three quarters inches of the wire and make a small bend. Step 4: Create The New Antenna Form Measure off another three quarters of an inch and clip the wire.
