@Orion & Hecke

Thanks for your interest in this little project.
I attach in this mail a couple of screenshots I've taken: the first one 
(Captura-2.png) is how the widget looks like on a GNOME3 environment and 
the second one (Capturawds.PNG) is how the 'propietary' widget looks on 
the Windows 7 that  the notebook came preinstalled with.

Best regards,
Paul
