Palo Alto, California – Konfabulator 1.6 is fresh out of the oven.
This version offers a host of under-the-hood improvements that will
allow Widget authors more creativity, and better performance for end
users. It features text rendering that’s been optimized for 10.3, the
latest version of our JavaScript engine, image handling built from
the ground up that includes non-rectangular click-regions… and the
use of animated GIFs. Expos=E9 support has also been dramatically
improved.
For a complete list of changes for this version, visit its Release
Notes page: ( http://www.konfabulator.com/info/relNotes.html )
Konfabulator is a $25 application that allows for the use of files
called Widgets. Widgets are built with a combination of XML,
JavaScript, can include AppleScript and Unix calls, and can look and
do whatever you want them to.

over 600 user contributed Widgets that range from amazingly addictive
