dotWidget Update 0.8.1

Widget Engine for Windows 2000, 2003 and XP

from JoeUser Forums

This is a minor upgrade that fixes a number of small cosmetic issues and also introduces new functionality required by some forthcoming widgets.

A brief overview of the changes made is as follows:

  • Fixed bug where sometimes a widget's gripper would remain visible even after the widget lost the keyboard focus.
  • Added new 'Bounds' and 'Frame' properties to Widget object.
  • Added new 'Take Snapshot' option to Widget Menu (V41 engine widgets only). When selected, a PNG snapshot of the widget is saved into 'My Documents/dotWidgets/snapshots' as '[WidgetName]-snapshot.png'.
  • dotWidgets folder now has a customised icon (XP only at the moment).
  • New melon script objects used by some forthcoming widgets now automatically installed.
  • Settings should now be saved correctly if dotWidget is running when the computer reboots or the user logs off.

Important: This is an update only; make sure you've download and installed the full 0.8 release first.

Thanks for the update. I am surprised not more folks here have commented. I am not a die-hard fan of one single widget application (I have DesktopX, Kapsules, Konfabulator and Samurize all installed, as well as dotWidget), so I like to play around with most of them. This one is a nice little application worth checking out.

I ment to post too.

Yeah, the app looks cool. Why did you start it anyway? Just wondering...

If my memory serves well, we started it before Konfabulator was for Windows - I think that was the main reason
