Kapsules
Kapsules was a
ActiveScript engine. Those widgets were then made available on Kapsules' website. As of December 2005[update], widgets are available in eight different scripting languages. Kapsules is reliant on the .NET Framework
. All versions of Kapsules before and including version 0.9.9.0 have targeted version 1.1 of .NET, and all later versions target version 2.0.
As mentioned above, widgets could be written in any language for which there is an ActiveScript engine. Kapsules also supports
.Kapsules was inspired by Arlo Rose and Perry Clarke's
Mac OS X and later ported
to the Windows environment, while Kapsules was designed to use integral components of Windows. By using a managed framework, Kapsules lets designers choose from one of several scripting languages, while Konfabulator widgets are written exclusively in JavaScript. Also, Kapsules can be installed on a Windows guest account, whereas Konfabulator requires Administrator privileges.
On or around November 9, 2006, the Kapsules website was updated with a single page stating that the site had been
hacked
. It also said that the developers were "busy" working on an updated version of the application and the website. No updates have been made since the announcement. The project website and its domain have since been abandoned.
