| Phydeau (OP) User ID: 960398 United States05/26/2010 08:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I pulled the gadgets after your first announcement. Did you add a sizing option? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 982026Those versions are barely workable in comparison. I'd recommend getting this one instead. There is no sizing option because the images being pulled are 256x256. The size used in the gadget. Well, the NICT video is HUGE. Not to mention, it's kinda breaking a cardinal rule of gadget development to exceed 400 pixels in a flyout. I'm just under that as this is. Since you're interested in that option, though. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to either make the images clickable to take you to the 512x512 ones. Yeah, that sounds quite doable. Expect that in the next release. (You can look at the file date in the download directory and determine if it's a newer version.) As for now, I need a break. My OS died Thursday. So, in addition to this lil project I've been downloading, installing, tweaking and customizing. Yeah ... been a busy week.

| Phydeau (OP) User ID: 960398 United States05/26/2010 05:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Except the magnetosphere tab isn't buffering for me. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 973338Is there an image of the magnetosphere movie showing or the background image? If there's an image of the movie, it is indeed buffering. Do you have a network monitor running so you can see if you're pulling it down? Depending on how slow NICT is running, it can take a minute to load. That's why I embedded the "after image pops up, allow video to buffer" image. The video is somewhere around 20 megs. I noticed on my XP rig, it doesn't start playing until the video is fully loaded. But on Win7, it starts playing while it's downloading. The upside for the XP user that has to wait is it saves the video in the cache and you don't have to download it again until midnight UTC. Win7, on the other hand, doesn't cache it so you have to download it after just a few minutes. Last Edited by Sir Phydeau on 05/26/2010 05:17 PM "When the facts change, I change my mind.

| Phydeau (OP) User ID: 960398 United States05/26/2010 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | doesn't this update the Soho images automatically, i have the full sun gadget and that does.with yours when i click on say the ultraviolet image,i let it load but it doesn't appear on the gadget, only the magnetosphere one stays there is that normal. Quoting: pauldamo 974803Yes, that's normal. The solar pressure image updates every 10 minutes. Full Sun is actually where I got the idea to start on this project. Originally, I was planning on having the main gadget change to whatever you clicked on last, similar to Full Sun. However, on Win7 it doesn't cache the images like it does in XP. So, it was downloading almost constantly. Had to change that so it doesn't hammer SOHO's server. also when i click the options the heading is 'Soho still'below it is 'Soho live' which doesn't change anything when i click it, is it supposed to change to the movie mode. Quoting: pauldamo 974803Ugh, thanks for catching that. I used the about page from my "SOHO - Still" gadget (extreme beta) and missed changing that text. I have corrected the issue. No, I don't have full motion in the main gadget for the reasons I stated above. I doubt I will be adding in a feature like that (unless I can figure out how to get around this caching issue.) Thanks for the input. To all: Your comments help me come up with new ideas. Your comments lead to better design. Your comments drive me to produce better work. In other words, please leave comments. :) Last Edited by Sir Phydeau on 05/26/2010 11:06 PM "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?" — John M.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 982918I suspect the short answer is "no". The Windows Sidebar is a part of Windows 7, Windows Vista and can be downloaded for XP thanks to some folks that have extracted it from Vista and ported it to XP. I'm not familiar with *nix, Mac or any other OS environments. I guess it all depends on the emulator you're running. But I still suspect that there's no sidebar in emulators. Sorry. There is the possibility that if you emulate windows you can install the sidebar and utilize it.

It seems the method I was using to determine "yesterday's date" returned a date of "0" since it turned the 1st today. I implemented another method in javascript to execute this function. I changed the date on my system to also double check if this resolved a potential issue when December arrives. (Javascript determines January as 0, hence I had the month +1 to obtain the proper month. Hence, December would have returned a month of 13.) This new method corrected that potential issue as well. If you have a copy of this gadget, please download the newer version. Lastly, I am working on adding in some new functions and could use some input. I want to add in where when you click on the flyout image, it will open a web page showing a larger view.
