[help] What Apps Are These ?

Could anyone please give me a definition of the apps

Samurize, Capsules, and Konfabulator ? Sorry but

I'm a bit of a n00b as far as third party apps go.

Thanks for your help :)

Theyre all similar in what they provide. Kapsules (Win32) and Konfabulator (OSX) put widgets on your desktop such as clocks etc. Samurize can do the same but is alot more customisable for the end user, you build your own config more.

Hope this helps

Thanks Alilm :) I saw a screenie in the June DOTM where someone had

a little preview on the desktop that showed a live webcam preview of

the eifel tower that reloaded every two minutes. The guy said that it was

a "widget" for one of these apps. I sent him a PM but he never replyed.

Do you know what I have to do to have the same webcam preview on

my desktop ? I've been really wanting this for so long....

Thanks in advance,

First, I just wanted to add AveDesk to the list. It's another one that put "things" on your desktop.

You will find a lot of info under Applications / 3rd Party Applications / Samurize and Applications / Community Applications / Ave's Apps.

Have a nice day!

Yeah I know Avedesk is pretty cool but somehow I just can't get it

to work for me ;) I'm really desperate for that Eifel Tower webcam.

Could anyone help ? :cry:

if you're going to use samurize, maybe someone at samurize.com can help you... they have a script request thread there... you might just have to supply them with a website link of where you want the feed to come from.

YOu gotta use Samurize for this..

The "widget" is call Fetch Image by ViX..

You can get it here...

i have a ****ie question. i downloaded samurize and was overwhelmed. however, everyone seems very dedicated to it. what all does it offer in terms of capabilities and does it minimize ram usage?

Its just alot more flexible than the others. You dont need to be a developer to get things exactly as you want. I'm an avedesk fan myself and a big supporter of kapsules.
