A great way to get Widgets on OS X Panther (10.3.9)

If you own Apple's OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) and have been oogling over OS X 10.4's (Tiger) Widgets - fear not, Amnesty is here.

Amnesty, similar to Konfabulator (mentioned in an older post) allows you to run the infamous widgets on pre-Tiger OS Xs.

The only problem with Konfabulator was that it was unable to recognize widgets created specifically for OS X Tiger. So if you were to download some widgets from Apple's Widget site, it simply wouldn't work with Konfabulator.

The solution? Amnesty! Amnesty allows you to run OS X Tiger specific widgets on OS X Panther (10.3.9) by creating an environment similar to that of Dashboard where the widgets could "LIVE" in.



Only problem? Amnesty doesn't work with Windows nor versions of OS X older than 10.3.9 (Panther). If you are in these two categories of operating systems, Konfabulator would be the best alternative.

If you have OS X Panther (10.3.9) installed, go grab a copy of Amnesty today and start enjoying Apple's version of widgets!
