Building desktop widgets: distribution

Written by

ErnestoQuezada on

From: overloadstudios.blogspot.com

I have already written something about the distribution of web widgets but if we are talking about distributing desktop widgets, the approach should be a bit different. If you have built a Mac Dashboard widget, definitely you would need to submit it to Apple Dashboard , however, you shouldn't leave the things there and should submit it to a different distributor as well, in this case I would recommend you Widgipedia . In fact, Widgipedia is the only distributor that accepts any sort of widgets, from web widgets to Mobile widgets and of course desktop widgets so if you have followed my tutorials on ...

From: overloadstudios.blogspot.com

It was about a year ago that I started playing with small flash applications that later on evolved to "widgets". As I didn't know they were actually widgets, I called them "buttons" and offered an embed script to my readers so they could use them; the first one was " add to delicious flash button " and I offered many more after that one (and many people still use them!) It was until December 2006 that I discovered Widgetbox and decided to register my widgets over there for a better distribution. There are many advantages on registering widgets with any distributor, for example, more ... Read Full Story

I have already written something about building small flash applications that later on I made them widgets: - Flash add to del.icio.us & the widget in widgipedia .

So, the idea of this "series" of tutorials is to build a flash widget and upload it into a widget platform for the world to ... Read Full Story

Widgets infrastructure, where is it?

Written by

ErnestoQuezada on

From: overloadstudios.blogspot.com

So far, no one has yet set the rules in this crazy widgets world and now we are suffering the consequences. Different distributors use different options, tools, scripts, approaches, etcetera and none of them seem to be compatible with each other. Even though from November last year the World Wide Web Consortium already listed a document about widgets , there's still something wrong about the widgets ecosystem. Alex Iskold has a very interesting post on the subject ( How javascript is slowing down the internet... ) and after reading it, I got rid of some widgets as an attempt to speed up the download ...

The SaneBull Widget Pack is a way to take your stock information with you. The widgets are offered in several different versions; the smallest containing only a quote ticker and price.

This widget will continually update whenever the market is open, and a viewer can change the quote in real time by pressing the switch button next to the symbol. Their most useful widget is for registered users, and will display your portfolio on your personal website or blog, and your MySpace, hi5 and ... Read Full Story
