i love konfav
i wonder why apple didnt buy them out so they would be forced to use dashboard instead.

my first impression of dashboard after the release of 10.4 was: i dont like to press the F12 key or sth. else etc.
to the widgets. now i testet out the konfab. v2.1 and i think the dasboard widgets are a bit superior and they dont need the browser window for wiki, leo etc. ...

I am new to Konfabulator and don't have Tiger yet.
But I am wondering, are Konfabulator widgets and Dashboard widgets compatible with each other?

no, they use a slightly different structure. I am sure that you could convert it, but they dont work off-the -shelf.
BTW - konfab is way better than dashboard. way more elegant.TR1

on konfabulator's site.. there's a widget that converts other widgets to the format you need for Konfab.. pretty nice..

on a Mac - Dash for sure, more polished and you don't have to use F12, just set up a hot corner in Expose (Sys Pref) and woosh in and out very fast. Also you get widget manager that's neat to use in 10.4.
I just tried Konf on a PC, I don't like it as much as the widgets are all lame (there are only 600+ with a least half of them does the same shit) + you have to use keyboard to activate it... just not neat I feel... at least it's free now

Konf uses java and a lot more system resources than dashboard- they might appear more elegant but they tax your system alot more.
