Topic: Stock widget
Is it possible to use the previous version of the stock widged? I liked having the quotes in a huge font... current font is unreadable unless you are very close.

YES. I came here, explicitly searched out the forums, took the time to register a password, waited for the email to come, and came back - just because I'm furious about the stock widget update. If I wanted it to look like OS X, I'd have a Mac next to my bed. The old widget was great and I could actually see stock prices from across the room. The new one is completely full of fail.
Please revert.
In fact, I begin to wonder what value the Chumby network is adding at all. It means widgets get randomly changed out from under me, whether or not I was enjoying them or not - and it also means I get ads injected. Why can't I just operate my Chumby locally, download widgets to it that I like, and have them keep working as long as I still like them?
Well, honestly, we didn't think anyone really *liked* the original one - I whipped that one out in a couple of hours almost two years ago (it was one of the very first widgets ever run on a chumby), and I'm a engineer, not an artist. One of the artists described it as "80's style" - which is probably true, not that there's anything intrinsically wrong with that.
However, it appears that we have a sort-of "New Coke" situation here - I'll see what I can do.
OK, the original widget has been uploaded as a new widget with the name "Stock Quotes (Classic)".
