Are Widgets Dead or no longer supported for OSX?
Widgets are a great tool for keeping your work flow smooth, such as pulling up the Calculator while still seeing your work!
However, it seems as though Apple has killed the Widget ecosystem.
Apple's Own Weather App (powered by Yahoo) is dead, and trying to Download an alternative seems like there are no more options.
the "Weather Widget for Canada" isn't actually a Widget! it's an App!!
There is no filter in the App store to search for Widgets Only.
Even the WebClip Widget that was supposed to be simply a screen shot of a section of a website seems to no longer work.
It's a shame that Apple has moved on from this place. Having an Overlay work space can be very handy. like a heads up display. So much potential.
Apple, Adobe and really any Software company that uses Tool Pallets truly dropped the ball here.
Imagine if Adobe used Widgets and you could have EVERY Tool Pallet you MIGHT need right there, and then out of the way.
Oh well I'm glad the Calculator is there and still works. Would be nice it had a little update though. (but that would call attention to their forgotten child i guess) :(
Fingers crossed Apple revisits Widgets again.
