Vicious widget types are a framework for creating your own awesome
widgets. Before using a widget type *you* need to ensure that a valid
source of information exists.
+For now Vicious doesn't depend on any third party Lua libraries, to
+make it easier to install and use. That means some system utilities
+are used instead, where available:
+
+ - hddtemp: for the HDD Temperature widget type
+ - alsa-utils: for the Volume widget type
+ - wireless_tools: for the Wireless widget type
+ - curl: for widget types accessing network resources
