Konfabulator Updated With Tooltip Enhancements

by , 7:00 AM EST, January 20th, 2004

Arlo Rose and Perry Clarke have released an update for Konfabulator, bringing it to version 1.5.4. Konfabulator is a JavaScript engine designed for creating desktop Widgets. The update features bug fixes and tooltip enhancements. According to Arlo Rose and Perry Clarke:

This release of Konfabulator not only addresses some user requests for better proxy integration with
the Mac OS Keychain, but we've also added tooltip support into Widgets!

No more will you be wondering what the little gust of green leaves are in the Weather Widget... hover over it and you'll see they might AM Winds!

Here's some of the more important fixes/issues:

  • Fixed issue with Widgets that re-open after a restart
  • Fixed issue where Widgets that accessed the network would unexpectedly close when the connection went away
  • Added tooltip support to the XML and JavaScript engine
  • Added tooltips to The Weather
  • Improved The Weather's images
  • Added international support to the Stock Ticker

You can find more information about the Konfabultor update at the Konfabulator Home Page. Konfabulator is available as freeware.
