Amnesty allows Dashboard widgets to run directly on your desktop!
Amnesty allows Dashboard widgets to have expanded capabilities as they run directly on your desktop via a convenient icon in your system menu bar.
Widgets loaded in Amnesty run completely outside of Apple's Dashboard environment, maintain their own preferences and feature adjustable display settings such as window level (desktop, standard or floating), opacity (transparency) and shape (now you can rotate and scale widgets so they fit on your desktop where you want them).
Widgets can also be arranged into multiple virtual workspaces that can be called up-by menu or hot key-to the screen at any time.
This "independence" from Dashboard means Panther users can-for the first time-get in on Apple's widget experience, using Amnesty to run many third-party Dashboard widgets (a library of sample widgets is bundled with every copy).
What's New

Amnesty has been discontinued and as a result, the product is now freeware.
