At this moment I'm seeing only two persons who tries work on a new scripts - sViz and Littleboy. That's all and they are not pioneers. Do you really think that this is enough for so large community? Good luck. EDIT: Sorry I forgot HAPTORK. But this does not change the final re
[quote]This is very sad news...[/quote] This place already seen the much more significant events like loss Tiggs, Martin, Night Train and a lot of other famous people. What means a few widgets from one ukrainian guy for so Global Project like WC? Just NOTHING! (By the way this looks like in our scripts when we want to clear memory! Seems it's time to clear this memory page)... So this is not a sad news. This is just a logical conclusion of a long way named "The place of my Des

[quote]But they have to use someone's feed[/quote] That's not right. I made the Weather Calendar a few weeks ago. It show me the weather forecast for current and previous months but it doesn't use any feeds ! More then ANY ILLEGAL FEEDS . Just I think that each of us may be a bit programmer. Otherwise this hobby (or may be job) has no future... You must understand one simple truth - neither Photoshop neither the other Graphic Reda
[quote]We are in the process of producing a replacement gadget. That widget was provided as a sample of what could be done. It is not "part" of DesktopX functionality but we understand people like it. The new version will use the SD accuweather feed (and have the requiered logo and links). It will not be editable by the user. [/quote] May be it would be a good help for skinners. But not for coders. I'm not a skinner. I'm a coder first of all. So I don't nee
[quote]My end-users download my widget and it becomes their personal desktop application, therefore they must sign up for their own license key and ID to use on Their Desktop Application.[/quote] I disagree to create "Their Desktop Application" for TWC. First they must pay money to me for this job! So I want make my own applications. And If it became outlaw I will not upload my new gadget here but still use it only on my desktop. And no one can forbid me to do so! That's all t

I'll send to weather.com the beta version of my new product and begin to talk with them about buying the legal license. I've spent so much time and efforts to make it that I must to keep it alive...

More than, I've even had talks with TWC's Scott Zucker in early 2005 about licensing some of my gadgets for sale... However I can't understand why nobody have not told about this earlier? I'm from Ukraine and may not know some of US laws. But the others.... So t
Dear Kendawg78 , Thank you for buying RB Clock. Email me if you'll discover any bugs in it. [quote]As I said, we didn't create the code nor the weather widgets affected. These are user-created widgets that are being affected, it's the responsibility of the creator to fix the
Hi Spencer, That TOS is not a new. Seems it operates more than 2 last years! If certainly - not less than 1 year! Just a few days ago TWC changed their RSS url. Nothing more! [quote]Starting Monday, July 20th, we will start exiling weather widgets from the WinCustomize galleries that have not been updated and/or violate any ToS/ToU in regards to weather feeds. The WC moderators are going to keep a close eye on the DesktopX queues so that updates will be pushed through as
Honestly, this damned problem is so tired me that I decided to propose you one simple deal. How much may cost the "corporate" license to full access for TWC feeds? A few hundreds thousands of dollars or less? I think we may to solve this problem by very easy way. Let's buy together a corporate (i.e. full) license for Wincustomize.com that allow its users and members use the TWC feeds without any logos and other unnecessary and unwanted things. Look: If each of tens mil
[quote]Personally, I think weaning ourselves off of TWC might be the best way to go, long-term; it'll take more work, but it's better to have variety.[/quote] Unfortunately this is one of the best Weather services on the web. At least it more informative and usefull than AccuWeather. There is only one alternative I've found - the MSN Weather! Their data base of locations (Cities) is even bigger than on in TWC! About 38000 on TWC and more than 40000 on MSN!!! So I'm thinking to "m

[quote]In regards to using the gadget to just host a browser window[/quote] In my case the gadget (which have been already removed... [e digicons]:'([/e] ) didn't open any web pages in the browser window. It only read the contents of web pages in the HTML format to retrieve the necessary data and display it in the gadget.

[quote]You don't require a license to browse the web site, and would then not be bound to the license and required to put their logos on the widgets. [/quote] We already discussed with Zubaz about this (look on the page 10: https://forums.wincustomize.com/358595/page/10/#replies ). More than I nearly finished a script which worked with HTML. But his opinion (which I much respect by the way) is: we have no rights to do this<

[quote]I am not sure WHY this works, or if it will continue to work. As others have said, chances are TWC will identify this leak and patch it up shortly.[/quote] Hmmm... This more and more reminds me the similar discussions between a few hackers on the some dark places in the internet! We don't hack the TWC site or feeds. We just try to find the easy way to "reanimate" our lovely widgets. No more. If you want to protect any data you may not publish it on the opened sourc
