Blender Widget Released

Hey everybody,

Just for fun I decided to check out dashcode, the program for developing widgets for mac os x. As a result I created a simple but effective widget for displaying the blender news feed.

Check it out on the downloads page at my website,

www.alexwillms.com

Let me know what you think, so I can put out version 0.2:)

The possibilitie to shrink the window size of it would be great.

True. On the list for next release!

Thanks Alex! Would love planet blender in there too, but good job nonetheless.

You’re welcome. I have much to learn in dashcode, and while I don’t think I’m going to get to know everything, I’d like to get fairly good at it. So maybe you’ll see planet blender in a future version.

Cool!
If you make one that will work for the windows vista side bar id definitely use it.

I haven’t downloaded it as I have my dashboard disabled because it made everything go slow (my widgets were overlaping - I had far to many :eek:)

I might give my dashboard a clean just so i can use this widget though :slight_smile:

I started learning how to make widgets and created a simple one that said “Hello World” with a picture. I also modified a couple of countdown widgets so that they were counting down to the time/date in my timezone.
