If the Amnesty menu gets out of hand because of too many widgets, or you simple wish to keep everything ordered, you can create submenus to categorize widgets.įurthermore, in case you want to have more widgets open than you have screen space for, Amnesty lets you define Layouts, which are basically the amnesty equivalent of Konspose and the Dashboard, the only difference is that you can have as many as you like. If you like widgets, you probably have downloaded a whole lot of them. Also in this tab, you can change the size of the widget, from 50% of the normal size to 150%, as well as rotate it by any value from 0 to 360. This overrides the widget's own settings giving you a wider range of options for those pesky widgets that don't have the interval you need.

The second tab, Advanced, lets you specify the auto update interval, in minutes or hours, ranging from one minute to one day. If it only offered these options, Amnesty would have still been a must for all widget lovers, but there is more, much more. That's right, transparent, desktop widgets that ignore mouse clicks and are locked in place. From the first tab, Window, you can change the opacity of the widget set the desired level from either desktop, standard and floating lock it in place and tell it to ignore mouse clicks. The Configure window, that pops of for all widgets, is split into two tabs. Much like in Konfabulator, you can right click any widget and choose configure. From here, the Widget works exactly the same way as it did in the Dashboard with one notable difference, you have control over it. Selecting any widget from it will open it in Amnesty. This menu holds all the widgets you currently have installed in Dashboard.

When you install Amnesty, it places a menu on the menubar, which you can use to control the application. Furthermore, Amnesty has a host of features that are simply not available in Dashboard. Now what this means, is that Panther users, who do not have Dashboard in their system, can still use widgets through Amnesty. Amnesty is a completely stand-alone program, not a Dashboard haxie of some sort. This is why Amnesty was created.Īmnesty is a widget browser and launcher, that works with Dashboard widgets. There were features in Konfabulator that did not make it into Dahsboard, and many miss them. For those of us who have used Konfabulator and remember having a widget for everything, even the kitchen sink, Dashboard, despite all the cool effects and transitions, still has something missing. Then there was Dashboard and Konfabulator began to slowly fade away from the Mac. Then there was Konfabulator that made widgets into the phenomenon they are today.
