Topic: Widgets on a stick
Hello!
I like the idea of putting widgets on a stick, but I hate editing xml files, so I made a tiny script that generates the profile.xml listing all widgets in the widgets-folder on the stick. So I just have to put my widgets in that folder and reboot. I thought this might be interesting for other people, so I packed it and put it online:
http://weihs.org/chumby/WidgetsOnAStick.zip
It should work at least on all chumby classic. I think it will also work on chumby one, and perhaps on other devices, but I can only test it on a classic.
I have included 3 widgets as example. One is made by me (the austrian clock), and two ("squoosh" and "raaa" - I love these two!) which I *think* are made by Duane, or at least some one of chumby.com. I Hope it is ok to redistribute them for this purpose - if not I will remove them.
@infocastme: I hijacked, your topic name for this. I hope you don't mind - it seemed perfekt
@all the widget authors out there: It would be great if some of you could provide me one our two widgets to distribute with my script. I do not want to build up a big library, but a small set of nice clocks or other simple widgets would be great. What I need is:
* the swf-file
* optionally a preview image
* one or two lines of text that it is ok that I redistribute the widget this way
Hope someone likes this
