It just pops up an "Unregistered Trial version" box.

coolchan Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 This is very cool. And there's a whole gallery with different widget on their site. Yea, some of the widgets are pretty heavy memory wise. For $25 it ain't that bad :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/241475-konfabulator-for-win-now/page/2/#findComment-584884307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
energizer23 Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 This program would be more useful if you were able to click on 'show desktop' without all the widgets minimizing.

coolchan Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Wonder how much memory it uses on OSX. I know a friend of mine run it on his 12" pb. I bet it's uses the same amount of it too.

If I open Firefox for example, I still see all the widgets. So they're blocking my view while surfing.

deepfriedmario Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Just playing around with it and say it's one swell program, I think I'll use this over the other widget programs. Though I have had some difficulty with some of the widgets I added such as some time one where it is still running but it is invisible. It also lacks a few widgets I wanted to try but it just got released so I see why. I can't wait when they all flow out, when programmers get use to this, I think they will release many great widgets.

BetaguyGZT Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Works pretty good on mine. So far only 2 widgets that DIDN'T work. That's pretty decent since the widgets were written for use on OSX. :D Memory and resource useage is pretty fair also. So it gets a thumbs up. *Goes back to AveDesk 1.2 testing...* Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/241475-konfabulator-for-win-now/page/2/#findComment-584884459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
