It displays Luxembourgish's "The Word of the Day" on the desktop. It gets them (wotds) from lod.lu
The whole idea of this extension was to have a Word of the Day displayed on my desktop.
More or less like this:
This extension gets words from LOD.lu and their awesome API.
I would love to thank to Andrew Zaech and his excellent Gnome-extension AZClock for the inspiration and "teaching" process.
This is my the very first extension I ever created and by analyzing Andrew's AZClock source code I have learned a lot.
For now the WotD position is set as (x,y) from the top left of the screen. (In the future I will make it work as relative position of the anchoring point such as TOP,RIGHT)
As I said many thanks to Lod team for allowing using lod.lu API.
Hopefully it will be accessible from Gnome-extension website. For now you can install it manually.
