the best thing about mas os x is the way it looks! but you can get your windows to look pretty similar using objectdock for the launchbar and desktopx for widgets. wikipedia’s definition of a widget “a widget is a small specialised desktop application that provides easy access to frequently used functions or provides some visual information”. well widgets got a little more exciting recently. thats because yahoo bought a small company called pixoria the creators of konfabulator, a runtime engine for javascript applications or in plain english widgets! whats different? well … now the application is free! and it has yahoo! integration. there are tons of widgets to choose from like clocks, stock tickers, weather updates, rss readers and traffic cams.
check out the gallery. each of these widgets look stunning! and lot of them are really convenient. soon your pc cant live without them! check them out!
