Konfabulator 1.8 released
Posted by Brad Wardell on 08 November 2004 - 17:14 · 30 comments & 1306 views
Konfabulator is a program that allows users to add widgets to their Windows desktop. Originally released on the Macintosh, Konfabulator 1.8 now gives Windows users the ability to make use of the hundreds of Konfabulator widgets.

With Konfabulator, developers can make pretty much anything they would like with it. Popular widgets include weather monitors, stock tickers, to-do lists, clocks, calendars, and many other assorted "mini-programs".

The shareware version is free to try. It's $25 to register.

Asphalt Urban GT flies onto the Nintendo DS on four very fast wheels, combining the virtues of both simulation and arcade racing. Players will hit the streets in a wide range of licensed high-performance cars, including Lamborghini, Jaguar, Hummer and more, on tracks from around the world.

Sprung creates an entirely new genre for portable gaming by putting players in the middle of an engaging, risqué and daring adventure with sexy singles at a hip ski resort. The dating simulation, or “stimulation,” title features gender-specific adventures, entertaining dating missions and a hilarious script written by North Shore (FOX) writer Colleen McGuiness.

Rayman®, one of the most recognizable videogame characters around the world, arrives for the first time in full 3D glory on a handheld as he battles to defeat the pirate terror that has enslaved his world. Rayman DS is poised to repeat the successful performance of its predecessor, Rayman® Advance, which was among the top-ten selling launch titles for the Game Boy® Advance system in 2001.

For more information on each of these titles, please visit www.ubi.com.

he's right you know, this is really really old news. I think they've ported it to Windows because they'll probably lose the Macintosh market when Mac OS 10.4 will be released with Dashboard feature.

This isn't old news. They just released it today. I wouldn't call that old news.

As long as I don't have to dream about you it's okay with me
About that "thread being old" thing I didn't see that there was a Windows version attached to it. I've been running 1.8 on my Mac for a while now

Amazing, the only diiference in the screenshot for this and desktopX is the app icon!

Yea, that's because I made both screenshots. Konfabulator's website was too bogged down to use one of their screenshots and it wouldn't have been fair to do a news item on Konfabulator without showing a screenshot. So I made one for it using my own desktop.

Okay I installed it (yes i waited a long time to make the download page load, but the download was fast) and the gallery was slow but im a patient man... Its pretty kick ass, im addicted already, HOWEVER its a memory hog like no other. Almost every the widget takes about 10mb of ram.. I hope they work on that...

Why pay for this when you can use a completely free AveDesk ?

I wasnt very impressed with AveDesk 1.1 It would crash pretty much whenever my desktop refreshed. The program was still running but the widgets didnt show up until i closed it relaunced. That got real old after a few days.

AveDesk is quite stable for my PC.

i'm struggling to find a use for this. so far the weather widget and the clock widget are the only useful things it contains. Are there any program launcher shortcut menu type things? maybe more interesting and useful widgets will come now it's available for windows development too?
