HTH. Konfabulator is not a copy or version of Apple's Widgets. In fact Konfabulator inspired Apple's Widgets. But, unlike most people think, Apple's Widgets borrow only the idea of Konfabulator and not the implementation. Under the hood Apple's Widgets are very different from Konfabulator and in fact are a technically superior implementation of the idea. (According to the articles I've read. Sorry, I don't have references at hand, but they shouldn't be too hard to find on the web.) Phil
