Guys,
Screenlets are brilliant.
I was wondering if anyone would have a time and skill to write a small spplet for Screenlets to show the data sourced from one of the major currency exchange websites like xe.com, onada or even google/yahoo finance and made a screenlet showing 2-3 currency pairs, small graph and curent exchange rate ?
I know only php, html so it's not a job for me :(
- Would anyone like to create it ?

I think that you make a special string like this (for each localization): https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-tweak/trunk/+pots/ubuntu-tweak/it/97/+translate
Bye ;)
hi, many thanks for such an nice and useful application.
Just one question though, is this version (0.1) the follow up of the screenlets 0.0.12/14? Or is it another project?
Hi!
Thanks for your good work! Only a small problem: with RingSensors only the temperature values are shown from acpi but the ring scaling remain stopped on the first sector. Have no idea where in RingSensorsScreenlet.py is possible to define max and min values for the temperature...
Hi, i try installing this deb package in ubuntu hardy heron beta. but when i try to run any web screenlete shows this error message:
'You need Gtkmozembed to run this Screenlet , please install it'
I used synaptic to install it, but just found the package libgecko2.0-cil, i installed, but still appearing the same error.
P.S. Sorry for my crappy english
Ok the Issue is that _MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) and _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR seem to conflict.
But theres an easy workaround:
Andrea Vettorello told me this on the sawfish mailing list:
Quote:
As a temporary hack, create a new "match windows" rule (Sawfish menu
-> Customize -> Matched Windows), use "^.*Screenlet\.py$" (without
quotes) as Name and select "Frame type" none under "Appearance", this
should remove decorations from all screenlets.

Just wanted to say 'thanks dude' your effort & time is much appreciated

I tried to run the .deb and I get this error when installing :ERROR: DEPENDENCY IS NOT SATISFIABLE: PYTHON-CENTRAL. what do I need to do?

sorry there is no way to set max , it just shows 0 value in the circle

install python gnome extras
Thanks Whise, web widgets are the best thing of the world. Now i can show my Ubuntu Laptop and see envy in the faces of my friends
spread the word :)
i just want to say to the idiots that vote bad... i wish i could see your hard work...
I'm using Sawfish (Yeah it's back to life!) as WindowManager, but the Screenlets are bordered. Screenshot: http://www.nanolx.org/screenlet.png
you should report that to them , i use the standard way to removed decoration
Ok the Issue is that _MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) and _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR seem to conflict. But theres an easy workaround: Andrea Vettorello told me this on the sawfish mailing list: Quote:As a temporary hack, create a new "match windows" rule (Sawfish menu

quotes) as Name and select "Frame type" none under "Appearance", this

That solves the Issue.

i dont know whats up with that , ill try to find another deb
I just wanted to confirm the new deb worked here. Thanks! :)
