Product Description:

Amnesty Widget Browser is a utility for Mac OS X Tiger and Panther (10.3.9) 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 outside of Apple's Dashboard environment, maintain their own preferences and feature expanded capabilities such as adjustable window level (desktop, standard or floating) and opacity. Widgets can also be arranged into multiple virtual workspaces that can be called to the screen at any time.

This "independence" from Dashboard means Panther users can—for the first time—get in on the widget experience, using Amnesty Widget Browser to run many third-party Dashboard widgets (a library of widgets is bundled with every copy).

Fully functional 30 day trial.

What's new in this version:

Many enhancements and changes over public beta.
Localized in four languages.
Includes Amnesty Help.
Bundled with sample widgets.

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
Mac OS X 10.3.9

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later (10.4 recommended)

Can someone comment on the difference between Amnesty Widget Browser and the Amnesty Singles? The developer's website doesn't specifically address this....

I have used Amnesty since its inception. It works precisely as advertised. I places any widget in your library in your finder environment either as a floating window or just on your desktop. You have full control over placement of each widget and can reduce the size and transparency to your own specific needs. You can lock them in place and disable click activation as you wish. I find that my user environment is much poorer without Amnesty. I use clocks, weather, monitoring widgets, currency calcular, calculators etc. Their ever presence on the desktop provides rich online (live)feedback at a glance.

I too notice that Apples weather widget continually creeps up the screen with each restart. It does this on all Mac configurations. This is the only widget that behaves like this, and according to certain threads is due to memory leaks and other issues with this widget, not a problem with Amnesty. The price I think is reasonable, so I can fully recommend Anmesty to any potential user. In fact I have never had cause to ask the developer for help. Enjoy!
