N1K Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Can someone tell me why Sidebar Weather Gadget isn't working for me?It was working with Beta and RC1 versions of Vista, but with RC2 and RTM it won't work.. It gives me an error "service not available" and when I drag it on my desktop it says: "service not available in your language or region"I tried to google for this problem but no luck, I would understand if that gadget never worked on me, but it worked with earlier versions of Vista without any problems..
N1K Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Preety nice and useful gadget. TBH, I just needed this for my PC at work..It's a shame you removed the drag and drop reorder feature because of a messy code App Launcher GadgetChanges from original:many...-I removed the ability to drag and reorder apps from the main display. I added up and down arrows in the settings page to reorder them instead. (much cleaner code)
N1K Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I have an idea, can you make the VNC Viewer window like this:It doesn't have to contain all of the features of this classic window. It can be similiar to Remote Desktop gadget, containing only Server entry box and Connect button..ThxI'm not sure what to do next. Any ideas????????
Seer Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Yeah I love the app launcher gadget Just what I needed 2 Features I would ask for would be the drag and drop to be reintegrated, and a the ability to name the buttons... the name showing as a tooltip when hovering over the button concerned. Reason being I have a few apps with identical and/or similar looking icons.Great work though

jaws75 Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) I fixed quite a few bugs in App Launcher.I recommend people update to the new version.Now at v1.72 Features I would ask for would be the drag and drop to be reintegrated, and a the ability to name the buttons... the name showing as a tooltip when hovering over the button concerned. Reason being I have a few apps with identical and/or similar looking icons.I will put drag and drop in it soon.The "tooltips" are there already. It only works it the gadget is the active window though. (click a blank space in the gadget and then hover over the icons) It will show the path to the application.It's a shame you removed the drag and drop reorder feature because of a messy codeThe original code was full of bugs and errors. The easiest way to tackle the project was to eliminate bulk. The original rearranging of icons didn't work properly anyway. How often do you need to rearrange your icons? The arrows in settings are not too inconvenient. Works for me! If you really want that feature I can give you the original code and you can use that instead. Edited January 12, 2007 by jaws75

rockn be Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Hi everyone !!!First, I want to tell you, Jaws75, your job is very good !!!!I want to know, how we can install these plug'ins for the vaio Sidebar ! There is a folder "shared gadgets", but if I put the new gadgets in this folder, it does nothing !!!How can I install these gadgets ???Soulsoul !! Edited January 20, 2007 by rockn be
jaws75 Posted January 20, 2007 Author Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Did you extract the .gadget archive? It is just a zip archive with the extension changed to .gadget.If not extract it to a folder with .gadget at the end of the folder name. Like AppLauncher.gadgetI don't use VAIO. I use Vista.Also you will have to use preview build #2 of VAIO for the App Launcher to work. #2 fixed a bug that prevented it from working before. Edited January 20, 2007 by jaws75
