Dashboard widget

[CPU]

Not sure where to really put this so I put it here ;)

I've been screwing around with Dashcode in my spare time and threw together a TheDarkTower.com rss widget for Macs. It looks at the curent RSS feed and displays new posts, click the post to go to that thread. It's a fairly large (screen wise) widget but I couldn't stand to reduce the art :lol:

Here's a screen shot:


If anyone is interested in it I'll be glad to send them the widget, just drop me a PM. I'm sure I'll continue to tweak this (like allowing you to change feeds etc)

If anyone thinks there are any copyright issues with the art please tell, but I found that image all over the interweb so I think I'm ok.

Awesome Corey! I'm PMing you now. :D

[Daghain]

Me too! I'd like to give it a try - it looks cool!

[Brice]

It definitely is. :dance:

[jayson]

So far I like it Corey. The artwork you chose to use is cool, and I like the functionality. I had to rearrange things a bit on my dash to fit it, but it fits and I like having a Roland on my dash.

Cool, I'm glad you guys like it. I'm going to try and add some additional functionality, and perhaps resize the art a little ;)

That looks really awesome. I'll get my dancing Homer to move over.

Maybe it'd be easier if I just posted the link here :P

Great job CPU!:rose:

I just created this image and I'm thinking of using it for the widget.

The first image is the Dark Tower by itself and the second is a composite image that I plan to use for the widget.

I've put up a new version of the widget which uses my own craptastic art!

[Daghain]

Nice!

Will it automatically change if we already have the widget?

[CPU]

It *might* ;), I gave them different version numbers so the OS might give you the option to replace the current version or install them both.

[Daghain]

Well, I'll just have to take a look at that. :lol:

Either way, it's still cool.

[CPU]

Ok, let me know, I'm kinda curious as to what might happen :lol:

[Daghain]

Me too!
