A while ago now conrail92 posted a mac widget that gave you the latest news from the former RCTPyro, recently I've had a look into it and have since recoded it and given it a new 'vPyro' look. It's still undergoing some testing and I'm just ironing out the bugs but here's a taster:

Number of downloads: 7

It may or may not look slightly different once released but I plan to release it within this week. It's only for Mac and I haven't looked into making one for Windows, although I don't think you can. Comments please! :smile2:

It looks very nice! I think the only way to do it for Windows is if you made a Google Desktop widget. That ships with Vista so there might be some people that actually use it... I don't because it's a waste of processing power

Cool idea to stay up to date without even opening your browser up, but yeah. Most people have Windows so...

Well, bye bye fancy signature. I should have changed you a long time ago!

So if I am right, this is a Mac widget, yes? There have been ways to change the coding to work with Windows, and I used to have some stuff my friend sent me which helped with that... then my hard drive wiped itself... then did it again 20 minutes later after reinstalling Windows...
wow that night sucked! I could try tracking him down, doubt he'll still have them and this was for older versions
