It's a silly thing, but...

There's a mac widget called Flores. I miss it. It's a gmail message notifier, but instead of popping up a little mail icon with a number it pops up a vase of flowers -- the number of flowers is the number of unread messages. It's subtle and pretty, and I've just been searching around to see if there's something similar for Vista's sidebar 'gadgets', but I can't find anything like it.

It's silly, but I miss the flowers.
