So if you didn't know..which I really didn't. Yahoo Widgets 4 Will be released in a few days . I LOVE this program mbecausee everything looks soo smooth and so nice. Takes up alotta memory but whatever

Does Anyone know what the new features of this version are supposed to be. I'm very surprised about how hush hush..ther been keeping it.

Anyways..be on the look..

Webclip is an awesome widget by the way.

I stopped using that a while ago, but it was good program, albeit glitchy. After a certain point, I just realized I didn't need it there taking up my memory though.

Yeah, I had huge system resource issues with yahoo widget engine, found avedesk later and realized that the system footprint is much much smaller.

I prefer Dashboard as I don't see the point of having the weather and most other widgets on my desktop all the time. Plus Dashboard is much more refined.

i want something like dashboard for windows.

for YWE, you can set all your widgets to "set in heads up display".

All i need now is a shortcut that functions as F8 and im all set!

all u have have pretty good points but I've used just about every widget thingy outhere (at least for pc)

and heres what i've found

Avedesk and YWE are probbaly tied for the best overall...why you ask?

Avedesk asyou guys have said. has great, light memory footprint, but the widgets (even those Avedesk 2Beta is gettin better, are very unrefined sometimes glitchy and really look nice at all.

Also when i used the Showcase feature in avedesk it makes me computer slow down sooo much

YWE looks sooo beautiful, but it has a large memory footprint, but I use WidgetDock so that I can just hvae that and maybe one other one running

and quickly select another Widget if I want to.

Samurize, DesktopX, google, Kapsules, blah blah blah...in my opinion are garbage..unless your a developer/ interface designer and you want to make ur own widgets that look beautiful. Samruzie would be my fav, but its too much work.
