[Help] Dashboard clone

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!

i saw that before but its with desktop x.. i dont know where it is now...

#273325

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

If somebody of yours has DesktopX Enteprise and can make independent widgets and widgets dock, the problem will be solved.

Looks good for a mockup but if you plan to use my graphics in your release please get in touch with me before hand. four13designs@hotmail.com

#274428

I was kind of hoping someone would send me the real images just getting it ready for then but if I do decide to release it I will get ahold of you for permission and approval of the widget first. I only steal from apple ha ha ha

#274454

The images all looks good!!!

#275332

sorry ,

i go out...

#275338

so... anything happening on this?

OSX-e.com is spouting up with lots of Tiger resources (some members got their copies of tiger shipped early and are ripping resources out like no tomorrow).

A good quality, big screenshot can be found at:

Shows the dock really nicely. Sure you could rip em off the screenshot and they'll still look nice ;)

Had to put it to the side for now, until I port all the widgets I can then I will get back to the dock.

screenies:

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

#276640

looking nice so far. Anything that you can distribute yet, or are you planning to put it all in one big packet?

#276764

this thread's title is beyond stupidity :slant:

whoever started it made it sound he was looking for a Dashboard clone, not the widgets

#276768

I Like your Screenshot, ghostwalker, but what widgets are you using for the Stickies (witch Configuration) and the Translation?

#278222

Im using simple notepad for the stickies http://www.widgetgallery.com/view.php?widget=35862

and translate mini for the translate widget http://www.widgetgallery.com/view.php?widget=36422

Im still looking for the close button shown in tiger screenshots in the upper left hand corner if anyone has it or can reproduce it.

also stickie is done except re-writing the resize code.
