Hi all, new user to Titan and very addicted to what you all are doing.  Keep up the great work!! The OP says it will eventually be ported to Google Desktop? Is that tough to do or should I go get the Yahoo widget thing? |

you can get the Yahoo one, untill the Google one is released
and then you can still decide which one to keep

I'm using the Vista SideView thingy. If you ever create a widget for the Vista SideView thingy, I'll be more than happy to install and run it. :-)
Looks nifty.

Wow this is great, I like the clean look of it better than the Google one anyhow. Glad you like it! As it turns out, Google Desktop is a huge pain in the butt to develop for... but I'll keep slugging away. As for Vista, I've actually got a Vista image installed in Virtual PC at work now, I just have to figure out how to make widgets for its sidebar. I'm updating the CIT Avatar widget right now (literally right now, it's open in another window) to work with the new site. |

It's up to you, that might work better for some users, but they would have to input that information. I guess it's no different then them putting in their login information. |

I do this too, I have an XP and a Vista system in VMware running on an XP box.. sssllllooowwwwww lol As for the google/vista widgets - yeah once you got me using Yahoo I'm hooked on it. There are so many more tools and cool features to it, I wouldn't even worry about the google one. Vista is a tough one to make widgets for too, and Sidebar users can just use the htmlview gadget to load a specific page.. make their own little status page based off the feed - I used to do that when I played EQ2 to monitor my DKP. |

Works fine for me... I just downloaded all three from my office to test. Try again? I just tried with Internet Explorer 7... it is, of course, broken. Right-click and choose Save As instead of just clicking. You'll also have to rename the file from .xml to .widget after IE is done downloading it. That's two different IE7 bugs, if you're keeping track.  I'll update the web page to remind people to right-click/Save As... on the files. |

Just how complex is the source code. I am using Linux and both Gnome and KDE now have widgets.
Would be nice to see if i can port to these enviroments. (I am not a coder, but it could be easy to add a wrapper around your app)

It's pretty simple JavaScript/AJAX; the hardest part of porting them to another widget platform is the UI bits (assuming your widget platform can do XMLHttpRequest() and uses JavaScript). They're using XPath, too... it's built into Yahoo! Widget Engine and it's so very convenient...
I'd have them ported to Apple's Dashboard (for example) already, but I'm having trouble with the GUI bits (mostly because I haven't had time to concentrate on it for more than bout 15 minutes at a go).
Yahoo! widget bundles are just zip files named *.widget, go ahead and unzip them to see the scripts and whatnot inside.
