Widget (definition)


 * This article is a general definition. For information about the XML object, see Widget.

Widgets are the whole point of Konfabulator. From the official Konfabulator website:
 * "Widgets can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Widgets can be alarm clocks, calculators , can tell you your WiFi signal strength , will fetch the latest stock quotes for your preferred symbols , and even give your current local weather ."

Konfabulator ships with several "base Widgets" created by Yahoo!, and there is a Widget Gallery full of user-contributed Widgets (2,914 as of July 15, 2006).
