Turn A Widget Into An Application
Posted by Muhammad K on 02/10/07 in Applications, Tips & Tricks, Widgets
AmnestyWidgets, a subsidiary of Mesa Dynamics, has created some amazing widget applications that I have just discovered. The most application related program is Amnestyâ„¢ Singles 1.1.2. The aim of Amnesty Singles is to convert widgets to applications and it does this through a very simple and easy to use interface.

It does this so well through the Mac’s drag and drop methods, all you have to do is drag the widget file into the application and select where you want to save it. And then the widget acts just like an app. It even uses the widget icon for the application icon. Amnesty Singles also adds some functionality to the widget, this includes being able to change the refresh time and window level through the application’s settings.

As soon as we used Dashboard on Tiger, we knew Panther users were missing out on something. But now they have the opportunity to use widgets anytime since Amnesty Single makes all the applications compatible with OS X 10.3.9.
The whole purpose of Dashboard is to “perform common tasks and provide you with fast access to information” but as soon as you open it, you obviously cannot use any other applications. That’s why Amnesty Single is so great, now I can use my widgets while working with any other applications.
It’s an amazing program, and for $9.99 you can’t go wrong. There is a demo version available here, but the program is definitely worth it. Check it out.
