I used Quartz composer to create a little button that is draggable and tried to import it into Dashcode using the Quartz composer in the Parts Library, but the item isn't draggable. br / I tried again creating a simple particle system that followed the mouse across the screen and this worked well in Dashcode. br / br / So widgets contatin draggable objects

I am designing a new rss feed widget for keeping me updated on the posts on my friends blogs. (Using the landscape template provided on dashcode). How do I link the widget to multiple rss feeds and change them using on a button? Also, how could i make the widget change color when a button is pressed. I would also like to add a button for refreshing the widget and a function that allows it to scroll down when I scroll down. If it is possible, I would also like the background to change colors with every 5s interval. Please post the codes for this function as I have zero programming knowledge. Thank you![/b]

I succeeded using the method given at a href="http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cut173.shtml" target="_blank"http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cut173.shtml/a that modified to use GetElementByID(). br / br / However the widget seems broken, when I execute it there's an error and after I deploy it there's no button to toggle the back side. br / I added the HTML in the front part and the JS at the bottom of main.js - anything special I should do ?

I am years past the last widget I wrote, but I might suggest using image swapping with GetElementByID() in Javascript. The element in question would be the image, and you would simply rewrite which one is assigned to that ID. br / br / You can find old-school mouseover animations that use a similar concept, swapping one image for another or, if transparency is not needed, simply altering the z-values of layered images. br / br / Hope this helps.

Please remove ALL of my widgets as well. I no longer support them and they are still being downloaded. Why is there no an option for me to delete my own widgets anyway?

I am brand new to this, and I learned how to make a widget using Safari (per the Open in Dashboard menu) right away. But now I would like to put my widget on my web site to distribute it to my site visitors. br / br / I know about putting everything in a folder, then renaming that folder with the .wdgt extension. But after building the widget with Safari how do I go about finding all the parts that are needed for the .wdgt directory? br / br / I've spent 4 hours researching this and so far nada. I know I must be missing something really simple here.

You could use a href="http://strawberrypal.com" target="_blank"http://strawberrypal.com/a - it tracks and predicts your period, work with ical and you could make a widget out of it.

Hi- br / br / After a recent upgrade to OS X 10.5.8, Dashboard will no longer allow me to select text inside a widget. When I try to select text the mouse drags the whole widget. This affects all widgets equally, so must be a Dashboard problem. I've binned the Dashboard prefs file but it hasn't fixed the problem. Can anyone help?

Hello, Im a total noob to Widgets and as I would expect Im having a few issues that Im hoping you can give me some directions with... I have made a couple of RSS feed Widgets using the Apple template as my guide. Built the all be it very basic look of the things without any problems. I would now like to add some addition functionality to these and this is where Im now stuck at. On the back of my Widget I have placed a selector (Popup Button) with a few pre-defined labels andamp; values now what I would like help with is re-directing the RSS feed on the Widgets front when this item is changed. I have added an onchange event and pointed this to my feedSwitch() function now what do I need to add to accomplish this? I hope I've made some sense of that... TVM
