Any Mac Users here?

Very nice Erich. I particularly like the bootprints in the background. You've obviously spent a lot more time on this than I did on the quick and dirty Yahoo! version...

Thanks! Sometimes when I get a new app to play with I get a little hyperfocused seeing what I can do with it.

I grabbed a PNG file of the default image if you want to try to use it for the yahoo widget. If you want the pieces and parts for it, let me know.

Sure - send the the pieces that you've got and I'll fool around with a better version for the Yahoo! widget. My email is in my profile.

I know what you mean about getting hyperfocused working on a new app - I'm the same way myself...

I created a version of the Yahoo! widget with the STP theme already loaded so that you don't need the extra step.

I'll upload new alternate themes if I get any better new images.

Is this widget for Vista users only or can xp users run it?

Yahoo! Widgets works with Windows XP and Vista as well as Mac. You can download the current version of the widgets environment here: http://widgets.yahoo.com/download/

Widgets should run fine on Vista or XP. However, this one gave me an invalid theme file error when I brought it up.

I'm having the same issue. It looks like just an ordinary atomic clock. It's missing it's STP clothes.

Sorry guys - the Yahoo widget engine does some weird stuff when you are modifying and retesting a widget on a single PC. There are remnants of the last configuration that stay around and this was causing it to work on my PC when I retested it but to fail on a new install (which I discovered myself this morning when I installed it on a second PC). I'm pretty sure that the version that is there now works. Same download location: http://mtruman42.googlepages.com/SeekThePeakWidget.zip

The name of the widget in the zip file is now STP.widget instead of "Seek The Peak.widget" which was necessary to (hopefully) avoid the repeat error for anyone who had tried to install the original bad version. Let me know if there are still issues.

Still doesn't work for me. It looks the same as the previous one.

Very frustrating! I've removed the bad version and won't put another one up until I'm sure it works. Thought this was going to be much easier than it has turned out to be.
Looks like actually doing STP itself may be the easier task
