Widgets Gone Wild
Mesa Dynamics: Amnesty Widget Browser is a utility that allows Dashboard widgets to live directly on your Desktop via a convenient icon in your system menu bar.
Widgets loaded in Amnesty Widget Browser run completely independent of Apple's Dashboard environment, maintain their own preferences and feature additional properties such as window level and opacity.
For widgets junkies, Amnesty Widget Browser is a great way to sample third-party widgets outside of Dashboard. And for widget developers, Amnesty Widget Browser makes a perfect rapid testing environment* (instead of loading widgets in Safari).
Amnesty Widget Browser is slated for final release Q3 2005 but is available today as a public beta for Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4 or later) and Panther (Mac OS X 10.3.9). Download your copy today and see if your favorite widgets are up to taking flight. Widgets gone wild? More like widgets done right. Locking useful utilities into a separate pseudo-desktop environment is silly.
