What kind of features do you have in mind? I'm the guy behind the site
and I'm all open for feature suggestions.

I haven't tested the old desklets with the new 0.35.x versions. As far
as the website goes there is work underway to slowly submit the old
desklets to the new system.

AFAIK, transparency works if you have compositioning enabled in your
X-server. This is the case at least for the upcoming 0.40 as you can see
in this screenshot I've just made by running the 0.40-SVN with a
test.display: http://www.gdesklets.de/files/gd0.4trans.png (I'm not sure
about 0.35)

I have beryl and XGL running so that gives me compositioning.
