I agree with screamingFit that the included widgets are somewhat lame but I really like the Mail widget that can be downloaded from the Gallery. As I keep my dock hidden it is very usefull.


I downloaded Konfab this morning, and yes, I woke up at 6:00AM just for this. Heh. Well. I downloaded the thing and I could not figure out how to open the default widgets ( e.g.: Clock, calendar, etc. ).
I tried everything.. hmm. Maybe I was just too tired

Anyways I decided to browse their gallery and I downloaded that mail widget.
One comment: Heh.

Why would someone need this widget??!?!?!?!? Just right/ctrl click on the mail icon instead? JUst a thought... I think it could be useful for people but not for me. My iBook's max resolution is 1024*768 and normally the big Project Builder windows occupy at least 75% of the screen... I need to save screen space..... I donno, to me Konfab looks like a big expensive gadget for the moment, but don't get me wrong, I do think that some people will release useful widgets in the future. Anyways, if the widgets could be coded using Cocoa and OBJ-C I would actually spend time trying to code one, but it's in XML and JS... not really my thing.. I'll probably read the sdk docs sometime tho.

I give it a score of 8/10 for the moment because it's not too useful for me, but I know it might me useful for other users, and yes, the app is a good idea.
