"Widget" or "gadget" may cause some users to have PTSD episodes about Windows Vista or 8.

I've seen "applet" used on multiple platforms without anyone having an attack.

Looks like TechSmith gives Snagit's its own name "OneClick"

Faststone calls theirs a "Capture Panel"

I've also seen it called "Toolbar", "Contols", and "Floating Panel".

There are applications (such as some Snagit and Jabber applications) that
when loaded, place a little dropdown widget at the top of the screen.

Is widget the correct term?
