Konfabulator compatibility
by Jean-Pierre on Sunday 04/May/2003, @18:31

The *Karambas are all a Konfabulator clone (which itself is a clone of Stardock's Object Desktop which exists for years now).

Are there any plans to change the API of *Karamba in a way that will make the "porting" of the already 280+ existant Konfabulator widgets easily portable under KDE?

not to be nitpicky, but actually, Karamba is a clone of samurize, which is the successor to CureInfo..

and CureInfo existed before StarDock or konfabulator ever existed :)

Stardock has been around since the early 90s when it began introducing games on OS/2. They introduced Object Desktop in the mid 90s around the time win95 came out and was actually seen in TV ads for OS/2 3 Warp. Is CureInfo that old? I do recall though that it provided a custom toolbar, sensor widgets and custom window decorations... nothing actually writing on the screen.

Ooops, change StarDock with ObjectBar in my last post, and there you go :)

StarDock's ObjectDesktop for OS/2 and for win32 are not the same, by the way. The only part of the win32 OD that was actually released before 2000 was WindowBlinds. Most of the rest came out in 2000, but didn't really mature until later.

Yeah.. cureinfo's main purpose was to put things in the start menu or taskbar. However, later on, there was a version called CureInfo 2k which let you put transparent information on the desktop with the new GDI extentions present in Windows 2000.
