Yahoo Widgets 4.0 update
I have previously written about Yahoo Widgets 3.1. Yahoo have released a new version, 4.0, of the widget engine.
One desktop not enough, how about 20?
Following the beautify-your-desktop theme, if you suffer from a cluttered desktop, let's face it who doesn't, and you haven't quite got around to either
a. Replacing windows with an alternative like Emerge Desktop
b. Adding widgets like Yahoo Widgets
this may be what the doctor ordered for all icon junkies.
How about trying out the following prescription, Dexpot 1.4?
Yahoo widgets to beautify your desktop
Need a sight for sore eyes or do you just want to remove the eyesore that is Windows?
I wrote previously about Emerge Desktop as a replacement to the default Windows desktop. I have come across another tool to beautify your desktop, The Yahoo! Widget Engine.
To quote Yahoo:
"The Yahoo! Widget Engine (formerly known as Konfabulator) is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Creating them is very easy too."
The Widgets are self-contained packages that provide cool looking functionality for your desktop. I had used Konfabulator previously and just tried the Yahoo! Widget Engine 3.1.4 on Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4.
Emerge Desktop, alternative windows desktop shell
Had enough of the boring Windows Explorer shell and require some elegance on your desktop? Look no further.
