The 31st most popular system tool on Windows
… More EditA free application platform for Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. The software was previously called Konfabulator, but after being acquired by computer services company Yahoo! it was rebranded.
The name Konfabulator was subsequently reinstated as the name of the underlying rendering engine.
The engine uses a JavaScript runtime environment combined with an XML interpreter to run small applications referred to as Widgets, and hence is part of a class of software applications called widget engines.

Not a fan because of the black line at the side of the screen, didn't look into how to remove it, just deleted it straight away. It did have some good widgets though, most were better than the default widgets on windows 7.
Yahoo bought this and sat on it. There isn't really a whole lot you can do with the widget concept really, it was a fad that never really took off. I tried to like this, I really did. In the end the widgets ate up too many resources and the novelty wore off.
The widgets are very good, some of them can be useful.
The widgets are fantastic, and the only Yahoo product I ever actually use. Otherwise I'm a bit of a Google whore. Thus it's a real pity that Widgets doesn't seem to be getting updates or new content anymore.
I should have found this stuff earlier. Light, great looking, useful, fun, functional and, obviously, free! Highly recommended for any user. :)
Looking good but using too much memory. 2 weather widgets use 30mb together while 6 Windows ones, which are updated each second, use less than 30mb. Nice try but no thanks.
Nice widgets... but I'm not really sure about that's why I use Google's with :D
Yahoo widgets is a great program. Has a large database of widgets and I like the little dock a lot. Can't go without it anymore.
The only thing is that since Yahoo bought it from the konfabulator team there has been no real development anymore since 4.5 came in 2007 or so.
I use some widgets all of the time, can't miss those.
,
I prefer these widgets (instead of Google's or Vista's) partly because they are small. But they are not available under Linux. :(
I use a few widgets all the time.. I'm lost without them.
Its Very Nice , Specially The Weather Widgets ...
eh... cool.. :/
I like desktop with it :)
