    Desktop Widget Program

    Looks like Yahoo have bought the following and are giving it away free

    http://www.konfabulator.com/

    Yeap - free desktop skinning/widgets galore

    How resource intensive is this? I assume it depends on how many 'widgets' you run...

    I had about 3 system monitory type things up, and I remember it being quite a RAM eater. Though I really stopped using it because the nag screens were annoying me.

    But now it's free

    On my system the Konfabulator prog uses about 1MB and each Widget 7-15MB. Looks good though.

    Got a notes thingy, default weather thing and TV Listings

    I used Konfabulator for quite some time, the widgets are great but they hog a bit of ram especially if you are playing games etc. The weather widget and the RSS feeds are the best

    Yeh I think that with alot of the plugins, sorry widgets, but I'm using the TVScraper quite a bit. Hopefully some more useful ones will come out...

    Hmm, just one annoying thing with it, if you go to open widgets it takes you to "my documents" as opposed to "my widgets" in the "my documents" folder, that's like, a whole double click!
