Random Haiku Widget - Feedback Request

[darrengreer]

Hey all,

I've written my first widget, and am looking for some thoughts, ideas, criticisms, etc. The widget utilized DWR (http://getahead.ltd.uk/dwr) to pull random 5, 7, 5 syllable lines from an application I have hosted on my server. It then presents those random lines as a Haiku to the user.

Please, take a look at version 0.2 (http://greerfam.com/lifetype/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=2&blogId=1) and let me know what you think.

Haha, simple and cute. Might use a bigger font with drop shadow or outline and boldface. But very cute. :)

Points taken, and appreciated. I'm going to attempt to make my own background for it, instead of using Apple's examples. That will give me a little room on the font size I think. Thanks.

Again, thanks for the feedback. I've made a few changes.


Increased the text size
Added a text shadow
Added some copyright generic information
