I thought at first this was a KDE app, which confused me for a while. I was wondering how this was different from the panels that already exist for linux, and why anyone would pay 25$ for it.

It seems that the major non-windows desktops (mac, gnome, kde) and converging. They all have panels to which launchers, applets, and other doo-dads can be added and tweaked. Windows seems to be content with five widgets: start button, launchers, window list, tray, and clock.

Gnome looks more like mac, and mac looks more like gnome every day. I find myself liking the mac these days, I don't see it as competition or a bunch of snooty morons. The world seems to be divided between those happy to be using unix-based systems, and windows users. How long can windows hold on?

what does 'bee's knees' mean?

It's Gkrellm on steroids for OS X....kewl!

I don't know why VersionTracker said it was free; Konfabulator is $25.

some other cool features - applescript support (calling applescript scripts), as well as shell scripting - so you could write a wrapper around some UNIX application and use K to create the GUI.

I was one of the beta testers.. I'll be releasing an RSS viewing widget in a day or so... This app is the bee's knees :)

you can set widgets to "always be on top".
Jason - have you got a copy yet?

Does anyone have a mirror for the developer docs? (How about one for shaving?)

Answering my own question:

Anyone have a mirror of the installer? The site is getting pounded right now.
