The Gameserver Gadget is a plugin for the Google Desktop Sidebar. It integrates into the sidebar and displays the configured gameservers there. In the options dialog or the right-click context menu you can add new servers. These servers can be added to categories to better organize them. With the buttons "<" and ">" in the titlebar you can change through the categories. For every server the gadget will show servername, ping, players and maximum players in the sidebar directly.
