Konfabulator - The Original Dashboard Palo Alto, California - June 28, 2004 - While Redmond is stealing ideas from Cupertino, it seems Cupertino is stealing ideas from its third party developers. Konfabulator, the first utility to allow users skinable easy to create desk accessory-like objects written in JavaScript, has served as the template for Apple's new feature Dashboard. As a result, we'd like let the Mac OS X community know that if they'd like to get their hands on Dashboard now rather than wait 'till "the first half of 2005" they can. Simply go to http://www.konfabulator.com, and download a copy of Konfabulator today to see what the fuss is all about! Konfabulator is a $25 application that allows for the use of files called Widgets. Widgets are built with a combination of XML, JavaScript, can include AppleScript and Unix calls, and can look and do whatever you want them to. Want more than the default Widgets? Visit the Widget Gallery with over 650 user contributed Widgets that range from amazingly addictive games, to incredibly useful utilities. The Gallery is at: <http://www.widgetgallery.com/> Konfabulator's home is: <http://www.konfabulator.com/> And the download is here: <http://www.konfabulator.com/downloads/> Arlo Rose introduced themeable interfaces to the world with his work at Apple on the Appearance Manager and on the popular customization utility Kaleidoscope. Perry Clarke switched from another well-known OS where he worked on consumer software such as the Mplayer online gaming client. __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to NetProLive, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to NetProLive, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the SUBJECT line reading "SUBSCRIBE NetProLive".
