[Help] Dashboard clone


Recommended Posts

I have been using Konfabulator for some time now and am happy with it, however I dislike the fact that to load a widget that you don’t use often you have to go to the widget folder and get it.

My question is… has anyone seen a “good” widget (or the like) that will organize your other widgets? I am looking for something along the lines of this.

I know that’s a lot to ask for being this is an actual SS from Tiger and all… but what can I say, I have OCD.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

It is still around and available here

Please be avised that as stated in the previous comment it is for DesktopX and your screen resolution MUST be 1280 x 1024 for it to work properly. I am currently without a computer but have plans on updating the theme to be resolution independent in the future.

As a side note: I am sure if Konfabulator widgets can call programs then it shouldn't be too hard to code it to call widgets as well seeing as they are program-like in application.

OMG!!! I can’t believe I didn’t think about this before…

I was getting pissed off @ the widget dock that Laertis mentioned and I couldn’t dissect the Desktop X theme enough to just get the part I wanted. So I start reading peoples comments for the widget dock to see if I could just change some code or something to make it work better for my needs, then it dawns on me… I’m running OD with the Dashboard icon pointing to widget_dock.widget, why not get another dock app. (e.g. RKLauncher) and point my master dock to a slave dock w/ just widgets on it!::duh::

So I just slapped a skin on it and icons to finish the effect and presto… my new dashboard!

PEOPLE, I am SO glad that I could have my biggest brain fart yet this year on aqua-soft forums! :P

everything on the back of the stickie will work Im down to making the dropdown menus now and the are the hardest to do in konfab(and make them work and look right) Im looking at the Queries widget for code because it has the best os x menu.

p.s. If anyone has the images for the dock ghostwalkers(dot)ghost@gmail(dot)com

also I need that little round x,which I assume is for closing the widget
