[HELP] Converting Konfabulator Widgets

I was just browsing through the forums on the Konfab site and couldn't quite understand one part of the process in which you must follow to convert SOME of the Mac intended widgets to Windows widgets. I realize it is not possible to convert each and every Mac widget to a Windows widget but according some of the guys at Konfabulator......there are certain widgets that convert perfectly by changing the extension name or something like that. I appreciate any help offered..........:P

Thanks,

Nate Dogg

I guess I should just ask this on the Konfabulator forums instead.........

Relax man...it's been only 20 hours since the two posts. There's no point in bumping your own thread.

As I don't know much about Konfab for Mac, I can't help you though. Sorry :)

I made a sticky in this subforum. Check it out, see how does the widget's structure look, think for a while and you should be able to do it by yourself ;)

NB some widgets need to be deeply edited, they might contain Apple Script which doesn't work in Windows.

Thanks Peter and Nightcrawler1089 for your replies!!! Sorry if it seemed as if I was bumping my own post. I actually was just thinkin' about it for a few minutes and thought that maybe this I was asking too ridiculous of a question to be expecting an answer to but I guess I have been proven wrong....Thanks again!

Nate have you been able to properly convert a widget or two?

#232720

Ummmmmmmmmm no Mesh I haven't been able to successfully convert any of the Mac intended widgets to Windows. I appreciate you checking with me to see if I have had any success though yet.

really what widgets, I have converted some. Though I really don't understand the packaging procedures.

#234993

if someone has converted that kanji a day widget, please hook me up.

And if someone has converted the SubtleTunes.widget, I would really like to have that one. There is a thread over at Konfab where somebody claimed that he has done it weeks ago - ha. Nothing that he has supposedly converted has been released yet.

#235051

SubtleTunes widget was converted by myself and bz for AveTunes. Check the forums for it.

depending on what functions the widgets are calling for.

they are not all that difficult to port.

the iTunes specific ones are for the most part the easiest.

i've ported a few for my own personal use.

@aashish13

would you like me to explain how widgets are packed??

@topshotta

i've ported the SubtleTunes widget to a Mac & Win compatible format, but i'm not releasing it untill i get permission from the author.

all the mac widgets are in dmg format

how do you open these?

I tried winzip and stuffit...

#237958

@bhound89: you can't open .dmg files under windowz, only Mac can open that format :slant: :slant:

#237966

Not all come in .dmg.....I was looking at the itunes mini controller and it came in a .sit file.
