While appreciating the utility of the widget, the design is very bulky. Do you need a huge arrow and huge letters telling us what direction the arrow is pointing?

Gorgeous job. I can't complain about anything, though I do have a few things I'd like to see implemented.

I'll agree with StopMakingsense above and say that the arrow/letters are neccesary, or at the very least are redundent. I think if you reduced it to just the words, that would let the artwork shine.

I would also like to see the option to change what the Symbol is for the server being "Up/Down/etc." - i.e. Alliance/Horde or even more varied, Troll/Night Elf, and so on.

Being a Horde player, this may just be a random whiney complaint - but there's a bit of pride there. (Plus, if you have characters on multiple servers you could set one to Horde, one to Alliance and be able to tell which Character's server was up.)

You would've gotten 5's across the board, except for the fact there's already a widget out like this. You win for style and design though.

Great job on your graphics! But please remember that the license of the WoWServerStatus widget (which you took all your code from) requires that you give the original author (me) credit.

Also, WoWServerStatus is now at version 2 and has auto-server-dectection code in it. No more releasing an update every time Blizzard opens a new realm! Realms are now added to the list automagically. So you might want to look at integrating the new version with your graphics.
