Konfabulator 2.0


Konfabulator 2.0 06/22/2005 01:58 AM

Before there was Dashboard, there was Konfabulator. While Apple was working on bringing Dashboard to Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4), Konfabulator was getting ready for Windows. Ars Technica reviews Konfabulator 2.0 for Windows.

Konfabulator manages little programs called "widgets" that do little tasks that you probably perform frequently and should be all but completely automated. For example, think about what's needed to check the weather report online. You could fire up a web browser, navigate to your favorite site, punch in your ZIP code... You could also get a little system tray app that continuously polls a weather service. This is an improvement, but it takes up prime real estate on your screen. Instead, you can use the Konfabulator weather widget. It provides a small graphical display of the weather for the next few days.

Konfabulator still runs on Mac OS X, but this review looks at the Windows version. If you are a Windows user who has been wondering what all the fuss over Dashboard is about, now's the chance to see for yourself.

Konfabulator was created by Arlo Rose and Perry Clarke, two software developers who met while working as Sun Microsystems (nasdaq:SUNW - news - people ). Clarke had been dreaming of an application that would provide attractive-looking mini-applications that would sit on the desktop and constantly provide useful information.

The Konfabulator Controversy


The Konfabulator Controversy 06/30/2004 10:45 PM

inessential.com: Weblog: What should Apple do?: There's a bit of a controversy brewing in Macland about the WWDC conference and the Konfabulator knockoff Apple introduced called Dashboard. The theory is that Apple saw a great third-party app that people loved, and decided it needed to be part of the OS itself.

Apple cant do everything — they need other developers to make software for OS X too. What concerns me is the message the Dashboard thing sends. It goes like this, "If you come up with a good idea and develop a successful product, we might copy it and bundle it for free with the OS."

The Konfabulator folks, for their part, are having some fun with it, poking fun of the posters that poked fun at Microsoft with a banner on their site that says, "Cupertino [where Apple is based], start your photocopiers!"

Konfabulator was apparently written by some ex-Apple employes, and they had this to say:

Regarding the conspiracy theory about Konspos and prior knowledge of Dashboard, here's the scoop. We knew Dashboard was coming, and we'd been told by *many* people that it was being developed as a "Konfabulator Killer". We never knew the specifics of it other than it was rumored to be the exact same thing as Konfabulator integrated at the system level. We didn't know that it was going to be touted as part of Expos, and we didn't know that their format was going to be closer to a web page than a structured XML file.

The threat of having the OS subsume your original work is a threat Windows developers have lived with for years. I've always wondered what happened to WinZip and PKZip sales when Windows XP was introduced with integrated zip functionality.

What sets Konfabulator apart from other scripting applications is that it takes full advantage of today's advanced graphics.
