Your Custom Web Clip Thread

anyone know if there is a way to take a widget you have created and share it with your friends? preferably those with Tiger? I guess I just need to find the .wdgt file.
Thanks

 

idea

someone should webclip the gmail storage counter.

 

does anyone find web clip widgets pretty slow? when i load dashboard all my normal widgets load pretty fast but my web clip widgets take a while. also when the web clips are loaded and i then close dashboard then open it again the web clip widgets go blank for ages and dont show the content until i refresh them... anyone experiencing this?

 

To an extent yes. Think it definitely could be speeded up. Does it use the safari engine to get the info does anybody know?

I have the Rotten Tomatoes list of opening UK films and their current score.

 

Im sure the speed of the website has something to do with it and maybe how many webclips you have. I only have one from espn and it loads maybe a little before some of the regular ones. I will have to look closer the next time I restart but I actually noticed the speed of webclips once recently on my own.

 

I know this is a relatively dead thread, but has anyone had the issue where the web clip will not load, and then it brings you to the site you clipped it from in safari? I tried to make a web clip from xbox.com comparing my gamerscore and my friend's. At first it runs perfectly, but the next time I turn my computer on, it will refuse to load and brings me to xbox.com again. Is there any obvious reason why this would consistently happen?

EDIT:Appears to have had to do with logging into my gamer id on xbox.com. now that i've saved my password, it accesses it fine. false alarm.

 

Lynda.com

I made a web clip of Lynda.com Latest releases.

 

i wanna know this too!!!

I have one hint for you, that I've found on researching...and talking to applecare tech support II...and twittling around with my macbook...
the preference file for them can be found here:

home > Library > Preferences > widget-com.apple.widget.web-clip.plist

Hopefully. There's info regarding this...
I've been wondering this myself.

 

Here's where I posted my question regarding this matter:

Web Clips going black until refresh

I'm having the problem mentioned above on Snow Leopard. When I web clip an image that changes (like a cartoon that gets updated) the web clip box in Leopard would change to fit the image if the site was updated with an image of a different size. Now it doesn't do that automatically, but it picks up the new size if I force the clip to refresh. However, after I do that, the clip is black if I leave the dashboard and come back. Haven't been able to figure out a way around it.

 

Autorefresh black Webclip Widget

Hey there,
at the moment I use a Webclip I made in my Dashboard but every time I come back to the Dashboard the Webclip Widget is black. I have to use cmd+r to reload.
Is there a way to bring the Webclip to autoreload/refresh every time I open the Dashboard? Maybe by editing the webclip plist? Saw somebody before ask but didn't find a solution.
Thanks in advance for your help and reply.
