Office Space

Office Space is a lightweight Yahoo! widget whose purpose is to help you animate the looks of your screen by listening to various quotes from movies. You can deploy the gadget on all Windows versions out there, provided that you have the Yahoo! Widget Engine working environment installed on the target PC.

Interactive design and a few tweaking parameters

The gadget displays Milton’s stapler from the movie Office Space directly on your desktop. What’s more, you are allowed to move the main window to the desired position on the screen using drag-and-drop actions.
It takes nothing more than a few clicks in order to get access to its GUI. A help manual is not embedded in the package. However, you can get an idea about how the widget works in a short amount of time because the dedicated parameters look straightforward.
A right-click on the stapler allows you to check out the available configuration settings. Office Space comes bundled with several setup options of its own which give you the freedom to adjust the size of the stapler pretty quickly thanks to the built-in slider and make the gadget play random quotes or only those related to certain topics, such as ‘Actual work,’ ‘Paying Bills,’ ‘Still have a job,’ ‘Worst idea,’ ‘Going to quit,’ and ‘I just don’t care.’
You only need to double-click on the stapler in order to make the widget say a movie quote. Office Space carries out tasks quickly and without errors. It provides very good output results. It is not a resource hog so you may keep it running in the background.
Additional Yahoo! configuration tweaks allow you to keep the stapler on top of all windows, ignore all mouse events, prevent dragging actions, and alter the opacity of the main panel.

Final ideas

To sum things up, Office Space provides a fun way to listen to all sorts of movie quotes from the comfort of your screen, and can be handled by less experienced users and professionals alike.
