988

988 is a small Yahoo! widget developed specifically for helping you get access to an online radio station from the comfort of your screen. It gives you the freedom to listen to Malaysia's top Chinese radio station, 98.8 FM, from a minimalist window. You can deploy the gadget on all Windows versions out there and make use of its capabilities, provided that you have the Yahoo! Widget Engine platform installed on the target PC.

988 can be quickly added to your collection of Yahoo! widgets. You just need to press on a few clicks in order to complete the process. What’s more, you are allowed to move it to the preferred position on the desktop using drag-and-drop actions.

You cannot find extra tips about how the widget operates. However, you can quickly get an idea about how to set up the dedicated parameters because they look easy to work with. You are offered the possibility to adjust the volume pretty easily thanks to the built-in slider or mute it.

Other important configuration settings implemented by the Yahoo! Widget Engine platform are designed for helping you hide or close the widget, keep the main window on top of other panels or show it below all windows, ignore all mouse events (you can still interact with the gadget in Heads Up mode), turn off the ability to drag the widget with the mouse, and modify the opacity of the widget by moving the built-in slider.

To sum things up, if you are looking for nothing more than a simple software solution for listening to an online radio station, you may give 988 a try and see what it can do for you. The poor configuration package makes it suitable especially for less experienced users.
