Yahoo Widgets, what is on your desktop?

[timosyy]

I believe Konfab wasn't free until Yahoo bought it. I remember the posts about it when they did, and made it a free product. Yahoo then kept the name as "Konfabulator" for a while, changing it to "Yahoo Widgets" only in the last month or so.

Konfabulator was technically shareware I think. It was free for the first 30 days or so and then it'd give you periodic nag popups to register it after that IIRC.

Bah, fixed..

so....how's the memory usage with widget engine?

bloatware or minimal?

by the way, i only use local weather and traveler's friend (5 world clocks).

I just use one of the world clock things, the one with 3 time zones.

IIRC, Konfabulator was always free and nagless.

The download is 11 megs because it contains 5 megs of widgets and another 4.5 megs in a folder called UnixUtils. The program itself is only 1.6 megs.

Even so, I may just stick with the older Konfabulator.

bah, always found wigits (Konfabulator/Yahoo) to all look a bit too cheesy. CoolMon is a great way to go if you just need sys-info.

I don't use yahoo widgets at home, but at work with dual flat panels, I love it! I keep all my widgets on my second screen so I can see them at a glance. I have a to-do list, digital clock, weather, wired news, fox news, espn news, and a CPU/Memory guage.
