Mining Visualizer comes with a set of desktop widgets for both Windows and Mac OS X. Under Windows, widget support is provided by Rainmeter (setup instructions), and under Mac OS X the widget support is provided by GeekTool (setup instructions). There is nothing currently available for Linux. Desktop widgets are possible under Linux using a program called Conky, but no development work has been done in this regard.
