Operation

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).

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.
