Xbox Live Gamercard Plasmoid
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work):
Description:
This application allows a user to display their Xbox Live Gamercard on their KDE4.x desktop.
It displays the user's Gamertag (to a gold background for Gold members and a silver background for Silver members), reputation, gamerscore and zone. It also displays icons of the 5 most recently played games on that account.
This source package contains the gamercard data-engine and the gamercard applet. Both must be installed to work.

cd to the extracted directory
Then type:
cmake .

Right click the plasmoid and select "Gamercard Settings..."
Enter your Gamercard (or a friend's) and hit OK.

0.1 Initial Release
NOTE: This will compile on KDE4 RC2, but recent svn builds have made some API changes to Plasma::Icon preventing the code from compiling. I'll release an updated version closer to KDE4's final release.

there is a section for plasmoids in kde-look, this widget belongs there.
I'm not sure why kde-look.org has a plasmoid section, but kde-apps.org doesn't. Plasmoids aren't themes or artwork, they're applications. They contain c++ code and must be compiled to run. kde-look.org's content is more of a 'grab and go' where the theme is downloaded and it just works. In the future it'll be easier to package plasmoids to make them 'grab and go,' but at this point in time they have to be compiled and installed. Personally I think Plasmoids have as much of a place here as the other applications/scripts do.
Makes sense, maybe you should talk to someone about moving the plasmoid section to kde-apps?
