Closing Widgets

There are several methods for closing widgets.

Context menu
Widgets are normally closed through their context menu.


 * 1) Right-click (or Control-click on Mac) on the Widget.
 * 2) Select "Close Widget".

Tray icon
Widgets that cannot be seen cannot be clicked on. To close these Widgets, you must know their name.


 * 1) Windows: Click on the Konfabulator tray/statusbar icon to get the Konfabulator menu. Mac: Click the Gear icon in the menu bar.
 * 2) Hold down the Control key and select the Widget you want to close.
 * 3) This technique can also be used to forcibly quit a Widget that won't seem to otherwise close.

Kill process
On a Mac, you can "kill" a Widget using the Activity Monitor found in your Utilities folder.


 * 1) Open the utilities monitor.
 * 2) Select the Widget you want to close.
 * 3) Click on the "Quit Process" button at the top of the window.
 * 4) Click on "Force Quit".

On Windows, you can also "kill" a Widget using the Windows Task Manager.


 * 1) Open the task manager.
 * 2) Either right click on the START bar and select Task Manager, or use the hotkey combination Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
 * 3) In the Applications pane, select the Widget, if the name of the widget is "Weather," the Task name to look for will be "Konfabulator-Weather."
 * 4) Click on End Task (hotkey: Alt+E).
 * 5) Select OK to any additional prompts.
