Konfabulator widget for DisneyCentral

**mickey** · 02-13-2003

OK, here is a small perk for all those Mac OSX users out there, if there are any but me. I have written a small program that works with konfabulator, a new javascript environment on Mac OSX. This widget will allow you to have an acitve list on your desktop of the latest posts on DisneyCentral. It updates every minute, and is linkable directly to the post. It also show who tha last poster was, the time it was posted and how many replies there are to the thread.

In order to run it, you must download konfabulator and the DisneyCentral widget here:

Please let me know if you have any questions about this. I will post some screenshots so that you can understand a little better what it does.

Here is an image of the widget open. The orange in the background is my desktop picture. The widget is transpartent, except for the text, and works well on all background images except very dark.

An image showing what it is like when you mouseover any of the posts in the list, they highlight in red and information about them is posted at the top.

Sorry, my anger management advisor won't allow me to play with PCs. I will see if I can find something though.

The best idea I can come up with is to enable Active Content on your desktop and set your desktop image to be the disneycentral.com homepage URL and go from there.

Good luck if you try it! ;)
