I am just interested in finding some great konfabulator widgets to go with my new UI. What widgets would you all recommend? There are so many at konfabulator.com and it is not easy to seach or sort them.

A word on Konfabulator... it's cool, but it my experiance each widget (even the small ones) used up way too much ram to be worth it. Just throwing that out there.

The best one would be whichever widget removes Krapfabulator from your system and sends Arlo Rose hate mail.

Not a cool attitude, those guys developed a very good and useful product for OS X that was unfortunatelly superceeded by Apples Dashboard. I liked it so much I even paid for it, so don't go spreading nasty-ness a couple of decent guys

Nothing in this post, except perhaps that you paid actual money for Krapfabulator (bursts into fits of laughter, returns to keyboard a full 10 minutes later), is even close to true.

its true that dashboard is a piece of crap and that konfabulator is possibly one of the best applications out there, that every mac user should get. just like shapeshifter and a few others.

you sound like a windows user, trying to make fun of macs, but failing miserably.

What an odd thing to say...

Somehow, since I despise a crappy piece of Windows software, I am "making fun of Macs" and I am a Windows user, despite the fact that I would not allow Krapfabulator to sully my system but use Dashboard every day.

Northwind, needless to say you have gone off topic. This thread clearly states one's opinion on the best konfabulator widgets, not if konfabulator is good or not. Either stop flaming or give advice that is on topic. Thanks.

Yeah, let's try and keep this on track, boys. Northwind, we get it, you don't like Konfabulator. Thing is, these guys do, so if it's all the same to you I think it's time you moseyed along to another thread and let sleeping dogs lie.
