[rel] Limelight 0.1 - Spotlight Clone for Google Desktop

Hello, I just wanted to let you guys know that I wrote a Spotlight clone that uses Google Desktop as the backend. This means that you will need to download Google Desktop for it to work (get it at http://desktop.google.com). It's a first release, so I'd like your input on bugs and features that you would like. I am already planning on adding images and making tooltips that give you more info on each result.

The screenshot above is of Limelight.

You can download it at http://www.eveisa.com/limelight . The software is written in Python, so it's a little bulky at the moment (it includes everything you need for it to run). I'll work on making it more compact later on.

Anyways, let me know what you think!

Looks cool - thanks for the hard work Suddenly it's raining Spotlight clones !

I'm not one to complain, however ! The more the merrier !!

Very nice! Now, can this work by clicking the blue spotlight button from the visual style, or will it be limited to clicking the tray icon?

This reminds me of the time when there were like 5 finder clones... someone should make iPhoto or something more useful instead of 20 spotlight clones

in my experience, picasa is as good as iphoto. someone should work on skinning version 2 though.

allo, i got a question, it is possible to move limelight icon to the end of the taskbar (such as tom's spotlight clone)?

sorry for my bad english.

Yeah - I sure hope so. I'm still on version 1 because of the skin. My dad has Picasa 2 on his computer so if I need any advanced features I just use his. But I love the apple skin for v1.
