Konfabulator search widget

davidjcoburn · 28-11-2005, 05:26 PM

Had anyone put any thought into creating a Konfabulator search widget for WWNData?

I did a quick test by changing the URL for a existing search widget, and I can make it work. But I am not much of a artist and would like to put in proper graphics. Do the WWN devs/Loaded Network have any requirements for a project like this?

The Requirements are :

If you can make it work, and you can provide support, feel free to implement it :-P

Ok I have a starter version with graphics that are ok.

Would it be possible to get some "source" graphics for WWNData site so I could make a nice version?

The Konfabulator website is:

Basicly I am looking for the sun in blue circle and the borders that make up the box overlaying it. I expanded the box with the text and put the search prompt in there with a prompt before it. It will look nice once it has proper alpha blending.

Hi mate

Drop me a PM with your email and I can send over a PSD for you :)

David: Loving your widget and looking forward to seeing a "tweaked" graphical version.

Rush: I sent you my e-mail too, could you drop me the logo psd too, so I could fix up the icon for the firefox search plugin as well?

Hi,

I love this idea, and it kinda inspired me to try out something out on my Macintosh. It would be nice if I could create a Dashboard plugin which does the same thing, and that is what I will try to do ( if I find the time to do so ).

Do you have any screenshots of your Konfabulator thingie ? If so, please post them here, so I can 'grab' some of your ideas :-P

Here is the image I use to put into the Konfabulator object.

Once Rush gets me the graphics, I should be able to make it look nice.

Ok, I got the graphics from Paul. Thanks Paul :happy34:

So now I have created a much better looking version. I have posted to Konfabulator's Gallery, but are waiting for it to be approved.

Here is a copy of it on my server.

Konfabulator works on both Win and Macs. I was not able to test the widget on a mac though.

Give it a go! :thanks:
