Well I still got Samurize for the sole reason to display album cover art when playing MP3's...

Another thing that would be nice if Konfabulator had was the ability to add shortcut to drives and folders and have labels on them like AveDesk is able to do.

And also I can't find an option to stick the widgets to the desktop.. everytime I hit the "Show desktop" everything disappears. And if I push F8 (konspos?) all the widgets show up but when I click on an empty space on the desktop they will disappear again.

I would like them to be ON desktop all the time.

Too bad konfab's site is smashed down by everybody otherwise I would've posted my questions there...

Thank God for mirrors.

[TheReaperMan]

for some widgets setting them to floating makes the stay on the desktop others, dont

[mattmatik]

Yeah, the mp3 album cover would be a great addition.

This is a fantastic program.

[Kurt]

Nice! And make a little bit better splash whenever you got time. :)

Thanks!

[TheReaperMan]

will do only got paint at work:<

[bontakun]

memory usage is crazy otherwise this is much better than everything else out there, but then again it's the only one that's not completely free that i know of

[Kurt]

<action trigger="onTimer" interval="600">
	RSSItems = new Array();
	retrieveData();
</action>

How long is that? 60 seconds? :unsure:

[TheReaperMan]

yes:D, change if you not on broadband

[Arkiri]

Great stuff and works straight out of the box.

Cant wait till the modders get hold of it.

Anyone know how you change the background colours

[TheReaperMan]

of what one of the widgets?

[Sticktron]

I doubt this will replace Samurize any time soon. Samurize has the capability to do almost anything imaginable, takes up little memory, sticks to the desktop always, AND has the ever-so-important feature of minimizing to <500k so it doesn't interfere with gaming performance.

[Setnom]

^^ I agree. Samurize is so amazingly customizable. I tried this software but, frankly, I don't see what the fuss is about. Samurize is much better. (No process for each widget, no 10 mb for each one...)

Konfabulator has a lot to progress, if it wants to compete with Samurize on Windows.

[Dazzla Veteran]

I wish I wasn't such a newb at coding, anyone know how to sort this?

I thought it'd be a case of altering the following so that it will change it to "Microsoft Settles With Novell ..." for example but it doesn't seem to do anything :(

RSSItems[i][3] = new Text();
 	 var descString = getNodeContent(contentArr['item'][i],"title");
 	 if(descString.length > 20){
    var descString = descString.substring(0,20) + "..."
 	 }

[SkinStudio]

Uh oh?

[SkinStudio]

and that's jsut a few widgets I'm currently using.

Now if I was to add all that I have in Desktop X?

[couture]

For some reason the site won't load for me :(

[Suren]

good :D :)

[BroChaos Veteran]

site's not loading here either. i'm guessing it's getting hammered right now...

[Frogboy Administrators]

I hope you guys at least try out DesktopX. It's existed long before Konfabulator, has a freeware version, does a lot more, and looks just as nice.

I.e. just because something started out on the Mac doesn't make it better. Just make sure you TRY Kapsules, Avedesk, Samurize, and DesktopX.

Incidentally, DesktopX also uses a LOT less memory and CPU:

[mariusu]

looks cool, i'll try this out :)

[ahfunaki]

can we get a mirror??

[karma_police]

I use Avedesk :yes: but I'm trying Konfabulator.
