Klumsy, Lame, Ugly, Dumb, but Good Enough
Features and Wish List
A few days after the first beta release, Kludget Engine has a couple thousand downloads. That’s motivation enough to continue working on the engine.
One feature that’s repeatedly requested through email and comments is the F12 hotkey. It will definitely be included in the feature list.
- F12 Hotkey – to show and hide the widgets
- WidgetDock – a widget manager widget
- Animations and Effects – not a priority for now
- Plugins – QT-based to make it really easy to create. I’ve sample codes of the dashboard’s plugins, really messy.
- More widgets – include a larger set of default widgets. dictionary, calendar, maps, system stats.
- Linux – because it’s QT based, we could easily make a linux version of the engine. Or even a MacOS version. (Thanks QT and Nokia)
What other features do you think should be included?

Hi there Kludget Team,
I love your app already. And I have a feature request. Right now there are only three windows modes: normal, below, on top. I would like to place my widgets on desktop permanently. I have rainlendar on my desktop only and by pressing win+d I have direct access to it. Please consider my request and keep on your good work.

There is already an option to “Run at startup” .. if this is what you mean.
May 25, 2009 - 2:40 am
That is not what I mean. When I press win + d all applications, including kludget, dissappear and I see my desktop. Rainlendar has an “on desktop window mode”. When pressing win+d all applications dissapear and I see my desktop and rainlendar. I would like to have such a window mode for my kludgets.

I’m sure the next version will just rock!!
Maybe make KEngine capable to run both dashboard and yahoo widgets??
Can’t get it to run widgets other than dashboard ones
I’m sure the mac emulation community would like to be able to download the default dashboard widgets (clock, weather, translate, calendar..)
Excellent work..well done!!!

Hi Kludget team,
Do you have any startup guide for creating widget using your engine a “hello World” example will be good start up since I try to modify and observe the existing codes and they did not anymore display when open.
April 21, 2010 - 8:54 am
I agree on a quick start guide on creating widgets. Any timelines? Thanks!
April 28, 2011 - 4:22 pm
So any ETA on a quick start guide for the widgets?
Inquiring minds want to know
