I've been wanting to try this ever since I saw that weather widget from some screenies. However, since there's a similar version (is it a port?) of it on avedesk, i'm not too sure if it's worth trying now.

the widgets are very smoothe, very nice...I pretty much just have everything in the tray, and while not nearly as nice, that'w where I like them

as netryder tells, these widgets use almost as much memory as explorer...that's too much I think.

anyway, they are really well done...I'm keeping it on my box, but not running for now

This is the first release for Windows, so I didn't really expect it to be perfect. They've done a damn good job with it, but I think they might cut down on the memory usage in later versions based on user feedback.
Until them, I'm sticking to my trusty AveDesk.

My monthly desktops are here in this folder:

All of them are using a AveDesk, Samurize or Rainlendar (mostly a combination of two or more of them). Look at the FTP drop widget on some of them, for example. It's pixel-perfect when you compare it to the Konfabulator one, but I actually prefer the functionality of the AveDesk widget - you can define multiple profiles for different FTP servers, which you can select with a right click. So I can have just one FTP widget for all my FTP servers, as opposed to one for each one in Konfabulator.

I also like Rainlendar the best for my desktop calendar, since it can pull events from Outlook, which is what I primarily use to keep track of meetings and events (it syncs with my cellphone too)

Mix and match is the way to go.

Hey Net the Mac looking bar across the bottom is that AveDesk as well as the big drives?

*edit* - also when you say konfabulator uses alot of memory, how much are we talking (ballpark figure)?

You mean the dock, with all the application icons? That would be Y'z Dock (although I don't use it anymore). And yes, the drive icons would be AveDesk desklets.

Konfab memory usage - I had one widget (forget which one) taking up 12MB. A couple of others were between 5-7MB each. So if you're looking at several widgets, it adds up to quite a bit. As I said, it's not a huge problem (there's plenty of RAM to waste most of the time), but I'd rather use something that can achieve the same effect and functionality with less resource usage.
