Hi all,

Head over to http://boinc.mundayweb.com/desktop/windows.php for screen shots and download instructions.

This is the initial version, so please let me know if you find any bugs etc.

Happy Christmas!

+1, LIKE, .. :)
thank you very much!

will report problems I may encounter here.. none so far.

suggestions for upcoming versions:
what I really would like to see, is:
1) all projects (or the probability to choose which ones to display)
2) a column to display the work done (or credit change) from the past 24h (but that is more or less already in the RAC.

have a merry christmas,
p.

Only a slight problem with mine.

When in large view, Others displays as 335745.479999999 whereas everything else is rounded to 2 DP

Ah yes... damn floats in JavaScript!

Version 0.2 has now been released to patch this "feature": http://boinc.mundayweb.com/desktop/down ... INC.gadget

The gadget will now report when a newer version is available as well by changing the colour of the version number to orange and it will generate a hyperlink to the download page :-)

pe6o4, I'll see what I can do about those feature suggestions.

Cheers,

Neil.

Hi Neil,

Wow. Thats great. Thank you very much.

If there is one thing to complain, its the space between two projects: its too much, bloating up the gadget. :) especially if you want lots of projects being displayed. Maybe you could remove those empty lines between singular projects in a later version.
But it is already great. Just a suggestion. :)

Have a happy new year!
pe.
