I have mentioned a couple of times on jkOTR how excited I am that Konfabulator is coming to Windows XP. It has occurred to me that readers not familiar with the Mac or Konfabulator may be saying "who cares" so I thought I would show a tiny sample of the widgets that make Konfabulator so cool and useful. Konfabulator is basically a utility that provides a nice platform for developing and displaying graphical utilities on the desktop. What makes it such a useful utility are the hundreds of widgets that have been developed by users and shared on the Konfabulator widgets web site. I am sure that we will start seeing WinXP specific widgets appearing as soon as Konfabulator for Windows is available. To give you a very quick idea what these widgets can do here are a few of them from the widgets library:
epod- iTunes controller
Brisbane Traffic Widget
Colorado Air Quality Advisory
NASA Astronomy- displays pictures from NASA archive at set intervals
Connecticut Traffic Widget- traffic in real time for Hartford, New Haven, and Bridgeport
GMail Status Widget
DropImage- converts images to any of 6 different image formats by dragging the image onto the widget
Nu Jongg game
Local Movies- rated and times given
World Clock Pro
New Fullscreen Clock
