I don't know if some of you ever heard of or used a wonderful application called SnipPage ?
It was based on Adobe Air and would let you create a desktop widget of any webpage "area".
i.e. you had to give the URL, the size of the widget and the location of the section of the page you wanted to use/display on your desktop.
Unfortunately, it is long gone and doesn't work anymore (but you can still download it from Softonic).

Anyway, I was wondering if it would be possible to use the WebViewPlugin to do the same kind of thing.
Displaying an URL on the desktop is already possible, but only a full page.
The rest is to create some kind of layer to display only a specific region of the webpage and hide the rest...
That is already kinda possible, but only using a local HTML file, iframes and a lot of CSS which is not exactly easy to do.
I don't know it that it possible, but it would be a great plugin idea don't you think ?
