dotWidget Update 0.8.1

Widget Engine for Windows 2000, 2003 and XP

External Link

This is a minor upgrade that fixes a number of small cosmetic issues and also introduces new functionality required by some forthcoming widgets.

A brief overview of the changes made is as follows:

Fixed bug where sometimes a widget's gripper would remain visible even after the widget lost the keyboard focus.
Added new 'Bounds' and 'Frame' properties to Widget object.
Added new 'Take Snapshot' option to Widget Menu (V41 engine widgets only). When selected, a PNG snapshot of the widget is saved into 'My Documents/dotWidgets/snapshots' as '[WidgetName]-snapshot.png'.
dotWidgets folder now has a customised icon (XP only at the moment).
New melon script objects used by some forthcoming widgets now automatically installed.
Settings should now be saved correctly if dotWidget is running when the computer reboots or the user logs off.

Important: This is an update only; make sure you've download and installed the full 0.8 release first.

Thanks for the update. I am surprised not more folks here have commented. I am not a die-hard fan of one single widget application (I have DesktopX, Kapsules, Konfabulator and Samurize all installed, as well as dotWidget), so I like to play around with most of them. This one is a nice little application worth checking out.

I ment to post too.

Yeah, the app looks cool. Why did you start it anyway? Just wondering...

If my memory serves well, we started it before Konfabulator was for Windows - I think that was the main reason
