    Default Dashboard widget

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    Nice!

    Will it automatically change if we already have the widget?

    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.

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

    Either way, it's still cool.
