Why the hell doesn't Windows have something similar?

Maybe it does... and for free???
There is a free program that does the same thing...
It is called Snippage, it works on XP or Vista just download it for free from the link below...

http://snippage.gabocorp.com/

You will need Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) as well though... http://get.adobe.com/air/ (http://airdownload.adobe.com/a ... est/AdobeAIRInstaller.exe)

Take that Apple lovers! (no offense, just kidding around )

Thanks!!!

Thanks!!!

Status Update:
I am still on hold in making the Google gadget, I have made most of it but it doesn't read .php files for the image.
Help would be much appreciated

Enjoy 2009 and hopefully my Gadget will be the one which lets you know about the new version of LFS with the VW and various other improvements!

Wow! Thanks It will be very useful for me

No Problem, happy to hear that

Would even more usefull if there could be LFS friends online, forums friends online and some more info, not only these basic, but I see that it would be much harder to do.

Well, it seems someone has done most of the work for me...
Great idea by the way

This link below recieves a image based on my online/offline status
http://www.lfsworld.net/isonline.jamesisinthehouse12

It looks like this in image form:

I just need someone to tell me how to make it copy the <input> field and place it after the "http://www.lfsworld.net/isonline." in an image src...

This is alot of work though...

I have started making this because it is such a great idea which would be so handy

Here is a picture of it so far (to scale)...
v1.8.0.0 Beta


1. What do you think?

2. I will have to make it more wide to fit the usernames in properly next to the User status, unless I put the username underneith/above the status...?

3. Should I make it in a seperate gadget?

4. How many users should there be? 5? 10?


Feedback would be appreciated...

Individual settings would be best. If anyone could set it up as he wants.

I find the info about current version and online user quite unuseful, because I check usually for new in the forums and I dont mind hoy many players are playin.

But I care about my friends, so I vote for individual gadget.

And would be very useful tu see in wich server they are and a buton to join. But maybe this is a much harder job

Okay, I will be making another individual gadget

Live For Speed Friends Gadget v0.8.1.0 Beta


The little arrow pointing up in the top left of the gadget is a refresh button, I know most of you wanted this. It will be released for the LFSWG gadget as well as this one. (The LFSFG)

1. Do you like the look of it?
2. Should I make a version which has both of the gadgets in one? As well as having seperate gadgets...?

Hope it looks good enough...

oh, thats cool. I love the new design

Thanks for your positive feedback , this helps motovate me to finnish this

Update:
I am currently trying to get the settings to send the username and nickname into the gadget.
This is a MASSIVE amount more of coding

Okay... well I was stupid enough not to make a backup of the "Live For Speed Friends Gadget v0.8.1.0 Beta" and it got deleted!?!?
I will have to start again so this will take a fair bit longer
Sorry guys

thanks
this works on Windows Vista and Windows 7

:auto::heyjoeani:heyjoeani:eclipsee_

Was that really worth the bump? Anyway, the gadget is pretty awesome still .

It seems that the most of the spam and bumping is done by Finns. I don't know why.

Probably because of this.

Sorry to revive such an old thread...
Windows 11 Gadgets got me thinking about this again - haha!

Does anyone happen to have the v1.9.1.0 of the gadget?
I don't think I have it around anymore...

Much appreciated if you do! I would love to see it as I created it 11 years ago!
