I could not wait :-), so I added capability to fancypanel to add widgets (Add as in copy code from the panel source and hack on it till it looked presentable).
You can get my changes from a git repo:

You will have to turn your png animation to a mng animation and figure out how to write the damn config file.... Documentation anyone? :-) - Nov 24 2009
I recently upgraded to Qt 4.6 with the SVN snapshots of KDE 4.4 from opensuse's build service. Suddenly, "double click" has replaced "single click".
Do you know what could be wrong? I can gather debug data for you (Just tell me what to do). - Nov 17 2009

I think it has a scroll option which I see from the screen shots. - Sep 25 2009
Or does it already?
I think with daisy we finally have a reason to have an "add panels" _menu_ (As apposed to a button) like it is for widgets.
Hummmm.... Interesting first KDE patch.... :-) - Sep 23 2009
It would be easier for you if you opened a googlecode account just for the bug reporting tool.
That way you can track bugs easier.
And if you have a public repo, you can easily say: Can you try rxxx, and dozens of minions (like me) will scatter to see if it fixes a issue...
I see this as a very good replacement for the panel. - Sep 03 2009
With daisy-current,
Task manager problem 1:
(Not at all critical)
When enough windows are opened such that the dock expands beyond the screen, launchers are hidden at the extremes.
-> Have a scroll option?
Task manager problem 2:
(Also not critical)
Multiple programs causes multiple entries in the the task manager side.
This makes it inconsistent as the launchers are grouped.
Both are very minor. I can live with them. - Sep 02 2009
PS: Link is wrong... But I figured it out.
I really love the task manager thing. It was one of things missing. I will report if I find something odd.
Thanks - Sep 02 2009

It would be nice if I could configure the detail of the current prediction.
Like Now I have Temp. Condition, humidity, wind. I should be able to choose what to show.
Condition IMHO, is best to be shown below its symbolic representation (Picture).
I do not know if google's api allows this, but how about configuring how many days forecast I want. ps: In my city, the weather is not really that predictable, so having day after's weather is next to useless! :-) - Aug 13 2009

(Even though NOAA is located there! :-) )
So finally something which I can use!
Thanks. - Aug 12 2009
1. kile (Latex editor)
2. Konsole
3. Firefox/Opera
4. Amarok.
And for anything else, there is always the "expose windows" effect which is more nicer than the task manager!
All I miss is the system tray, which I hate with a vengeance (Doesn't any one get pissed off when apps minimize to the system tray?), so it is ok.
But I am waiting for the task manager integration. I am getting bored with the current release! :-) - Jul 24 2009
The features I am waiting for:
1. daisy as a task manager - So I no longer require that ugly task manager.
2. Plasmoids in daisy.
3. Some form of system tray integration.
This is turning out to be a killer plasmoid.
Don't you think you have gained enough millage out of 0.0.4 version? :-) - Jul 07 2009
Think this use case can be worked into an advantage? I can see it being useful for devices with small screens (cough netbook cough). But it will be better off as a rectangle. - Jul 06 2009
First remove the bottom panel.
then right click on daisy and go to settings.
Go to Hiding.
Then select "Hide only when a dock hiding button is clicked".
Viola! You have a dock which feels like the panel! That is what I am using right now. Along with a smaller panel right justified with auto hide enabled which contains the network management plasmoid and the system tray. - May 25 2009
My system: KDE 4.3 b1, Ubuntu 9.04, Virtual machine, so no composition
When I use plasmoidviewer, I get the errors:
<Click on konsole>
findServiceByDesktopPath: konsole not found.
On another note, this feels like the beginning of something really really great! - May 21 2009

I am using a ubuntu jaunty package (0.6) from ppa with KDE 4.2.1.
Adding this widget to a centered panel with auto hide enabled, causes plasma to consume a lot of cpu.
When I do plasmoidviewer fancytasks, I get:
plasmoidviewer(6781) KServiceFactory::findServiceByDesktopPath: "findServiceByDesktopPath: not found"
Object::connect: Attempt to bind non-signal TaskManager::TaskGroup::editRequest()

If you install from Systemsettings, it gets copied to your .kde4 dir and that somehow does not work for me (Not just my theme). - Dec 03 2008
