The Unofficial© MacRumors Widget!!!!!!

[monke]

How about having a preference side so that the user could choose Page 2, Mac Bytes, or the Forums instead of just the home page rumors.

Edit:

decksnap, do you have a bigger logo you can send me? That thing it tiny... I tried making a MR widget logo, and came up with this:

How about this, it's the logo off of the home page.

Kingsly, I think I have a bigger logo that I blew up and edited a while back. If you need it just let me know.


Other wise, how about a different icon? I was slightly bored the other day and made one up:

Okay heres the deal people: Im still working on the widget. If anyone has javascript experience I would love some help (as my java knowledge amounts to, well, nothing)
Also, Its finals week. AFTER next tuesday is the earliest I could expect to devote a solid chunk of time to the MR widget. Be patient!

Again, please PM me if you would like to help out. I am awaiting illustrator, but if anyone else has GUI ideas or expertise please feel free to let me know.

Anybody? I need help. Attached is the beta MR widget with some test features implemented (that doesn't mean they work yet!) so download it, test it, modify it, and send it back!

I love the widget.

Cool as hell! But now, all I need is a Mac with 10.4 so I can actually use dashboard! Yay!!

 

[elisha cuthbert]

can you make one that show the status of the Forum Spy thing so that people can just spy from their dashboard

 

[matttrick]

If only you could give a high five over the internet (eHighFive?).

Any chance of a Safari 3 Beta compatible version? I miss my Mac Rumors widget.

EDIT: Safari 3.0.2 Beta fixed it!

Tested the BETA

* I would make the Macrumors text on the widget link to the macrumors page not too the feed

* the icon on the top right of the widget is a little bit bad quality

* The search function doesn't work

* i would lose the Mariposa productions thingy

Monday i'm back from vacation and i'm going try to help you a little. if you want the help offcourse.
