CreativeBits Widget 2.0
mck (0 points) | Thu, 2006-03-09 17:49
The second version of the CreativeBits widget is finished. You can now select categories at one click, so it's easy to keep track of new content. Also there is a node preview mode, which lets you see the illustration and read the first few lines of an article or entry. Clicking on the title opens it in your browser. It is available in Universal Binary for both PPC and Intel systems — download now. This version of the CB widget is based upon News Reader by Ben Kazez (used with permission).

Very nice!
But I didn't think Widgets needed to be "Universal Binary"... ?
Hi Mackie, I have had a look at this and have fixed the search function. I have emailed you the widget with fixes.
Let me know if everything is ok and as you expected.
Great update by the way... ;)
WOW Mackie. This is an amazing update. This one has really great functionality. I just love the tab to switch between the different sections. The small previews are cool too.
awoyemia, thanks for the help! Hope Mackie can release the updated version soon.
I think this is the coolest community widget out there atm.
Shall we upload it to Apple?
I'm glad you guys like it. I have recieved the fixed version (thx awoyemia!) and will post it up here in a moment.
Navstar: widgets only need to be universal binary when they have Cocoa plug-ins. The first widget didn't, but this one does (and as you can see it works better than 5 pages of JavaScript). Thanks to Ben Kazez for writing it.
The fixed widget can now be downloaded using the link
Thanks for uploading the update. Now everyone can enjoy using this great widget.
;)
When I click on the titles in the weblink section nothing happens. Is that a bug?
It works for me. Are you using the latest version of the widget?
Works for me too...
Been a while since I dropped in but this widget is looking to remedy that :-)
Peace,
e-man.
