This tool is awesome it allows you to put widgets on your desktop and move them around to anywhere you want to, there are over 500+ widgets to get.

Here is where you download the client and the patch.

and here is a screenshot of it in action of my desktop

arrow 1 is pointing to the dopplar radar widget which is really cool IMO you can have it update the radar ever 10-30 minutes or so.

arrow 2 is pointing to Star Wars Episode III counter woot!

arrow 3 is pointing to live weather widget that comes with the installation of Konfabular which when you enter your zipcode it gives live weather and forcasts plus pollen count and more.

arrow 4 is pointing to the gmail widget which allows you to see how many messages you have in you inbox if any and also by clicking on it will allow you to search your gmail.

This tool is so awesome i love it to death.

Hey that looks pretty cool, I went through about half of the available widgets, I would use the "Package Tracking" ones, since I'm always waiting on UPS or Fed-Ex Very Happy

How is it on resources? does it include an Un-installer?, and have you run spybot and ad-aware, since you installed it?

each widget uses its own resources so when you look in processes it says konfobulator for each widget which can range from 3k-8k. and yes ran both nothing came up.

Well you were right about one thing, This is one kick ass tool. I like the fact that there are monitors for your memeory and processor history. Though after using them, I realized they really aren't that good. But they look cool just chillin on my desktop. LOL.
