A '''Snidget''' is a [Widget] made with [Snit].
[SRIV] History of the word ''Snidgit'': One of the 2004 Tcl Conference attendees (should we name him?) made a slip-up while asking a question about [Snit] [widget]s. After a good laugh, the name stuck throughout the discussions for the remainder of the conference.
Should we name John Harris? Nah .. I don't think so :-) [stevel]

Some snidgets are described in the wiki:
* [snitbutton] is like [gbuttons]
* [snitScrollWindow] and [scrodget] make it easy to add scrollbars to other widgets
* [A Snit News Ticker Widget]
* [snitfinddialog] is a "find in this page" dialog
* [snitscope] object viewer
* [snitbrowser] wrapper around TkHtml
* [MappingEntry]
* [Paved Widgets] enhanced toplevel, frame, button, label, canvas with background-tessellation capability (tiling)
* [Wallclock] is a continuosly updated clock embedded in a label widget
* [Penpad] is small widget for free-hand drawing.

[LV] You also might check out the [widget] module of [tklib], where work is going on to collect snidgets for distribution. Authors of snidgets can post to
the maintainers there, or the feature request function of http://tcllib.sf.net/ or to the tcllib mailing list for help in getting their code included.
''[escargo] 23 Aug 2005'' - Note this description of [widget] on the http://tcllib.sf.net/ page:
''widget: An older suite of megawidgets for Tk''.
This does not make it sound like new work is being done on [widget].
You might want to update the page a bit.
Poking around a bit more I did find this in cvs: tcllib/tklib/modules/widget. So the problem is that there are
multiple widget packages. How confusing. It's a bit late, but I think a unique name would have been ''a good
idea.''----
