Konfabulator: Whatever You Want It To Be

Squidgee writes "Arlo Rose, one of the developers who worked on Kaleidoscope, and the ill fated Eazel desktop environment for Linux, has come out with another potentially Mac-shaking app: Konfabulator. Konfabulator lets you run any program written in XML/Applescript/Javascript (It's own little hybrid of all three) in its engine, seamlessly placing the app onto your desktop. Examples of such apps are: A CPU Monitor, a Multi-Clipboard tool, a weather monitor, a battery monitor, etc. It allows for easy developement, beautiful apps, and unlimited functionality."

Hey Chicken Little, why didn't you read a little bit about it before you installed it and went running around screaming about it?

It puts a menu in the menubar that you can use to quit the app. When you do that, the widgets go away. And widgets are not really applications, because they need the environment available to run.

Fucking whiny douchebag.
