Yes, makes all the sense! If the screenshot ever exists, will be as easy as
writing its name. Wonderful!
for the applet browser ...... not so sure :)

Is it really doable? I mean, to place a widget inside a tooltip? If so, it's
a really nice way to go.
About the info widget, I know that now it doesn't really make much sense,
since the information to add there is few (description) and could be easily
placed in a tooltip, for example. But when I did that I was thinking on that
fallback list stated at the begining of the project: preview -> screenshot
-> icon -> default icon. With the screenshot or even a preview the info
widget would make much more sense. I attached a picture of a drawing that
shows an idea I had of showing a preview of the applet. Just an idea i
had...

But if I can do all of that on a tooltip... :)
