Konfabulator widget knockoffs?
Crazy question here maybe, but I'm pretty fascinated by the Konfabulator and MacOS X widgets that are becoming more and more popular. Very cool little clients. The "what to do" widget is just great, and there's tons of other excellent widgets, like the weather and search utilities. I've looked at the ports directory, and can't find anything that looks like these little gadgets. Does anyone have any idea if such a thing is available for FreeBSD/Linux?

I pretty sure Konfabulator was borrowed from this... -- Rod http://www.opensourcebeef.net ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I know that they have kicker widgets but I haven't used KDE in over a year so I haven't kept up on any of that. Check out KDElook.org if you haven't. > > Thanks for the pointer. > No problem.
