Mesa Dynamics Releases Amnesty Widget Browser for Mac OS X Tiger, Panther

Washington, DC – July 5, 2005 – Mesa Dynamics today announced the official release of Amnesty Widget Browser 1.0, the OS X utility for running Dashboard widgets directly on the desktop.

Widgets loaded in Amnesty Widget Browser run completely outside of Apple's Dashboard environment, maintain their own preferences and feature expanded capabilities such as adjustable window level (desktop, standard or floating) and opacity. Widgets can also be arranged into multiple virtual workspaces that can be called to the screen at any time.

This "independence" from Dashboard also means Panther users can—for the first time—get in on the widget experience, using Amnesty Widget Browser to run many third-party Dashboard widgets (a library of widgets is bundled with every copy). Amnesty Widget Browser's performance in Panther nearly replicates its user experience under Tiger (with the exception of Apple's default Tiger widgets, which are not available nor supported under Panther).

A 30-day trial version of Amnesty Widget Browser is available for download at http://www.mesadynamics.com and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) or Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or later. A single user license of Amnesty Widget Browser is available for $19.95.
