[Mac]MMOwned Widget 2.0!

[Pthree]

I decided to create a new widget for MMOwned, mostly because I didnt like the old one I did anymore (can be found here: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/bots-p...ed-widget.html )

It works pretty much like the old one, except you can now change the color and the size of the "threads" (does only work on version 2, more on that further down).

Heres the front (note: i took this picture abit too early, there is now a refresh button aswell):

The above picture is also Widget 2, with the thread size set to minimum.

And here is the back:


It is the background color of the first picture which you can change, I think between 7 different colors.

To get to the options on the back, simply hold your mousecursor in the bottom-right corner, and click the small 'i' that appears. To refresh the feed, click the Refresh button (duh..).

To make this foolproof, this widget ONLY WORKS FOR MAC! Version 10.4.3 and up. And since we are on a Mac, the .zip file should extract itself when downloaded, so all you have to do is double-click the widget, and it should be installed.

The widget is based on MMOwneds RSS feed, meaning you cant choose to only display threads from one specific forum. It displays all the newest threads, across the whole board. It is here where I choose to make 2 widgets, Widget 1 that shows the most basic info - thread name, and time it was written. Widget 2 shows alot more of the thread, it shows pictures and everything the thread contains - this is quite messy though, so thats why I implemented that thing i talked about before, in the options (on the back) you can decide how much of a thread you want to be displayed.

Ah well, it is just a simple widget, maybe i didnt have to write that much about it. Anyway, here are the download links:

Widget 1 (simple version): MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
Widget 2 (more of threads shown): MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

They are identical in any other way, i just figured if someone of you wanted to see the contents of a thread within the widget, you may choose to do so. Otherwise its just to click the threadname, and it is opened in your browser.

Enjoy!
(oh btw, i know about the bug with the 'done' button on the back, not a biggy one. Just so that you dont have to tell me about it)

Preety Cool, even though i dont have a Mac.

I don't have a mac, but wouldn't it look nicer without the background picture? Kinda hard to read with the picture in the back. (before you ask: yes I read the whole thread, but apparently you can only change the background color)

Good job though.

use the original picture (not inverted) with a dark background and white text. Also make the background image a "watermark" IE: 5-10% opacity

Yeah, i figured that would be better. But since I used the originals in my first widget, I wanted to try something different to see how it came out.

Oh, and in the picture (that is widget 2), the text comes up in that color which is in the thread itself (perhaps you could change it, i have no clue). In widget 1 its abit easier, theres the title in black and the author/time in bright red, turns out abit better actually.

Since I have no clue at all about programming, it takes a while for me to create things such as this, but i get better every time. Might put some more effort in the next one, and see how that turns out! And yes, there will be another one, I find this really fun to do

Why was this moved to General Chat? It is a program, no?

[Dragonshadow]

I didn't move it.
Where was it?

[Teofroob]

Thnx I will download this

I posted it in the bots and programs section, but it apparantly got moved since it is now in the general section. Not that it bothers me, I just thought it was strange since it is a program afterall, and should fit better in the programs section
