Long awaited Yahoo Widgets 4 has been just released! http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif
Yahoo! Widgets (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. 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.
Speedier than ever
o We heard you, and we've made big improvements in performance
o Uses up less of your system memory compared to past versions
Widget Dock: Live, at-a-glance view
o Mini Widgets bring updates and live info to you in a compact package
o Keep your widgets neatly organized with the new Widget Dock
New Widgets by Yahoo!
o Gallery Widget: Browse the Widget Gallery witout opening a web browser
o Flickr Widget: Hooray! Upload, tag, and display Flickr photos.
Automatic Widget Updates
o When an update is available for one of your running Widgets, you’ll get an indicator in the Dock.
o While this magic only exists for our Yahoo!-built Widgets right now.
Improved User Experience
o A new “hidden” state for Widgets which allows the user to run a Widget without displaying its full interface on the screen.
o Widgets running in “hidden” mode continue to display live updates (or vitality) in their tile in the Dock.
And, some things are the same as ever...
o The most Widgets available anywhere online... over 4,000 and still growing!
o Works on both Macs and Windows PCs
