Timer Applet is a countdown timer applet for the GNOME panel.
Main features:

- Add multiple Timer Applets to the panel to have different timers running simultaneously
- Create presets for quick access to frequently-used times
- Each applet remembers your last-used timer, even after you log out
- User interface follows the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines
Translations: Basque, French, German, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish.

This is a very simple applet that provides a way of notifying you that a particular time has arrived. It allows you to display a dialog box with a message in it, execute a command, play a sound file or make the applet flash on and off at a particular time of day.
This all came about because on numerous occasions there has been something that i needed to be doing, but was late for because i had become engrossed in programming something or other. Well, here is a little panel applet that should hopefully help.
Version restrictions:
The sound file that is used for sound alarms can be changed on the fly and the next sound alarm will use the new file. This may or may not cause a memory leak if you change the file a lot, so be careful for the moment.
The volume control doesnt work yet, so youll have to change that manually using a mixer program.
I have only tested this applet myself, so there are probably bugs that i havent found yet, or better ways of doing things.
If you compile the applet withou sound support, the option to have a sound alarm is still available, although it doesnt actually do anything. I could sort this out by putting loads of #ifdefs all over the place, but i happen to agree that it makes for ugly code which is difficult to maintain.
Enhancements:
- Added patches from Bruno Pires Marinho that fixed a few things and changed a few things for the better.
- NB. This will probably be the last release that contains bug fixes/features that have been contributed by myself. If i find any horrendous bugs then ill fix them, but if you want anything added from now on, then youll have to do it yourself and send me a patch.
Any new releases of the current code after this will be based on this new system of code modifcation and delegation.

GNOME Media Applet 0.4 offers you an outstanding and very useful application which can easily manage disks and devices on your system. GNOME Media Applet is a panel applet for GNOME to easily mount/unmount removable media. Its similar (in the purpose) to the drivemount applet but with a nice user interface. It is based on ejecter 0.0.9 a small utility to unmount removable media, by Federico Pelloni.

GNOME CPUFreq Applet is a CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor for GNOME Panel.
Main features:
- Support for proc or sys filesystems
- Support for multiprocessor systems

EmiFreq applet is an daemon that shows/control the CPU frequency and temperature thanks to the cpufreq sysfs kernel interface.

The emifreqd daemon enables the applet to change the cpu speed. The GUI is very clean, intuitive fast access to frequency change (with HIG help). Modelled over the Wireless applet.

Nicely support vertical panels (change the look depending on the orientation).

Thin FTP Applet is a full featured File Transfer Program that can be easily integrated into your website or web application.
You can use it to carry out recursive folder uploads and downloads. Entire directory trees being transfered in single click. Interrupted transfers can be resumed.
Thats not all that the applet can do, it can be used to rename, delete and change permissions of file and folders and do almost anything that you can do with your favourite desktop FTP client.
Even though Thin FTP is a web client, its appearence is no different from the traditional 2-Table interface found on many desktop clients. Because Thin FTP is an applet, it does not need to refresh itself each time a file transfer or any other operation takes place.
The Profession Edition provides even tighter integration with existing web applications by allowing for automatic login.
Enhancements:
- Compatibility issues with OS X and Netware FTP servers and the pure-ftpd server on Linux have been addressed.

Lock keys Applet is a GNOME-applet, that shows the status of the caps-, num- and scroll-lock keys of your keyboard.
This isnt especially usefull for normal keyboards, as they got leds for that. But some keyboards (especially wireless keyboards) dont have. One more feature of the applet is that it saves the status of the lock-keys and restores it, when starting GNOME.
Installation:
The `configure shell script attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses those values to create a `Makefile in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more `.h files containing system-dependent definitions.
Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file `config.cache that saves the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring, and a file `config.log containing compiler output (useful mainly for debugging `configure).
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try to figure out how `configure could check whether to do them, and mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README so they can be considered for the next release.
If at some point `config.cache contains results you dont want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
The file `configure.in is used to create `configure by a program called `autoconf. You only need `configure.in if you want to change it or regenerate `configure using a newer version of `autoconf.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system.
If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.
Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean.
There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Enhancements:
- (almost) completly renamed everything to lock-keys-applet
