Widget (Konfabulator) Engine. Created for XP, Vista, Win7, 8, 10+ as well as the

This widget is an attractive steampunk Yahoo widget for your desktop. It
displays a continuous time update on your desktop. It is based upon Nixie tubes
that were used as status indicators/displays in the 50/60s - 70s. This Widget
is a moveable widget that you can move anywhere around the desktop as you
require. New about us page, repositions properly on tablet devices in
portrait/landscape mode. Can be locked by clicking on the second tube.

The widget can be resized - Hover the cursor over the widget. Press the CTRL key
and use your mousewheel up or down. The widget will resize dynamically.

All javascript widgets need an engine to function, in this case the widget uses
the Yahoo Widget Konfabulator engine. The engine interprets the javascript and
creates the widget according to the XML description and using the images you
provide.
