Widgets: Software, or UI Customization?

Where should we make threads about widgets?

Please look into putting a sticky in Software and UI about the decision.

One could say that they are software, I mean, they can even crash, and give you the reporter.

Others would say they are more UI Mods.

Software. They provide interactive functionality of some sort rather than interface enhancements.

Applications forum, without question.

And no, the GUI mods forum isn't the right place, since almost every Mac app has a GUI -- having a GUI doesn't differentiate Widgets from any other application. It's the issue of modifying an existing GUI, which Widgets do not do.
