These are great..I mainly just use the inet radio and Itv screenlets..I would like to have an option to exit the program when its running in the panel..Theres an option to turn off the icon but its still running in the back ground?..would just be nice to close it when I need to free up some ram.
Hey Whise,
Awesome job with Screenlets! It really adds some cool eyecandy to make the Mac user take note.
One problem I am having is trying to get Google Gadgets converted and running on my desktop. I watched the youtube video clip a bunch of times and I have yet to get one to work. Can you (or someone) reply with a written set of instructions?
When you grab the code for the Gadget it contains the javascript: Example: <script>www.blahblah.com/abunchofstuffxxx22903%##$</script>
When I plug this into screenlets, I always get a "successfully converted" popup. But when I try to run the Gadget, no workie... As with most problems (for me at least) in Linux, it always comes down to something really basic that I missed. If you could write a short procedure, I'll probably pick up something I missed. Again, thank you for the help, thank you for developing a really cool product!
I have the same problem. Installed screenlets from PPA on gutsy, and this is the result I get when I try to run a google gadget converted by the screenlet manager:

I have the latest Screenlets 0.1.1 which on the whole runs fine. I tried the sidebar on my system (LinuxMint 4 with dual monitor setup - one large destop) & can't get the sidebar to be placed on the right of my 1st monitor. When I try it from the properties most of the functions are greyed out hence not being able to move it! any ideas would be helpful.
I've also noticed that clicking any screenlet to start on startup never works/worked & always need to add it manually?
TIA
Hi!
Thank you so much for your work Whise! It's awesome!
I'm just having a small problem. When I start a screenlet on Xfce without Compiz, it appears only on the workspace I'm on, even if Sticky is enabled. Right now, I have to disable and re-enable this option each time I start any screenlet.
I checked the Sticky checkbox in the screenlets-manager options, but that only seems to work with screenlets I haven't opened before. Once it has been open, the problem appears.
This problem was there in the previous release too, but I have recently noticed it, when I stopped using Compiz.
Any way, good job! Thank you!
I'm new to this great world of Linux and I'm running Gnome in fedora 8. I downloaded your screenlets and ran the make file which ran great np. But when I ran the make menu I got -
make menu
make -C desktop-menu
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/micro/Download/Screenlets/screenlets/desktop-menu'
cp /home/micro/.config/menus/applications.menu /home/micro/.config/menus/applications.menu.bak
cp: cannot stat `/home/micro/.config/menus/applications.menu': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/micro/Download/Screenlets/screenlets/desktop-menu'
make: *** [menu] Error 2
Did I do something wrong? I see the Screenlets in the application menu but I have no menu to configure screenlets. It just runs then nothing. Do I have to install some screenlets or something else that I'm missing.
Great! Really appreciate the brightness-screenlet! :D
However, there's a bug in the netmonitor-screenlet. My puter enables/disables wireless interface by pushing a button. When wlan0 doesn't exist (ex at startup), the netmonitor screenlet blows out lots of error messages till I shut it down. Would be nice to have a "Does NIC ethX exist? No? Then don't do anything"-feature.

Can someone please make a deb for Gutsy? :)

Many thanks!

check and see if there is an old netmonitor screenlet in ~/.screenlets , maybe your using an old version
my bad, never mind about the bug-thing. Great work :D
no problem , same goes for the sidebar , anyone having the sidebar in ~/.screenlets please delete it
