Desktop Widgets or something of the type....

Hi I'm looking for some desktop widgets. There use to be adesklets, gdesklets, etc.... but what is there today?
I'm really just looking for a simple weather desklet thingy and rss feeder, both just very simple
Any suggestions would be great!
I run openbox with bmpanel

I ran across this some time ago. Haven't tried it yet but it looks interesting: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43432

Re-installation of Met Office Desktop Widget fails with the "installation file is damaged" message

Vista Home Premium Air version 3.7.0.2090 and latest version of the Met Office Widget installation file.
The log file is

However many times I re download the widget app I get the same result.
The reason for the download was that the previous installation started to behave strangely downloading a lot of stuff for no apparent reason. I have Kaspersky Internet Security which is up to date and Advanced System Care. None of my security programs report any malware.
Re-installation of windows is out of the question!!!
I have tried everything on the forum with no sucess - any help gratefully recieved. Thanks

I have EXACTLY the same issue, had issues with downloading excessive data. Uninstalled latest version of widget and latest version of Adobe Air. The I reinstalled them fresh...or tried too. The Met Office Widget failed exactly as yours did. My log looks like yours.
I contacted the Met Office and got this response:
Thank you for your email.
There is a known issue at this time with the Met Office Desktop Widget which is currently under investigation by our IT Team.
We hope to have this resolved shortly and we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
We just might have to wait they have no date for a fix yet!

Can a muse subscriber reconfigure the forms widgets to something other than BC?

Can a muse subscriber reconfigure the forms widgets to something other than BC?

What I did for my forms was create a copy of my Muse site file where I deleted everything except for the page with the forms (there were 2 on one page, and there are none anywhere else on the site). I kept the master, made a copy of it, and took everything out of the master. I then went to the page (titled "reach me", containing two forms, one for questions, and one for a mailing list) and selected everything and grouped it. The grouped item allowed for Muse to give me a width/height of all of the elements together. i took those dimensions and set them as the page defaults on the master i had just wiped out. i set all margins, footers, padding, etc to 0 and made it 1 column. i published the site to catalyst, and then copied the url to my clipboard. opening my site up again (the muse file i made the copy from) i went to PLAN and made a copy of the Reach Me page (as a backup, should something go awry, i called it "Reach Me-old") i opened the original "reach me" (being that all my other pages linked to it and not the copy i had just made) i wiped out all of the forms and content and inserted an html code snippet. i typed:
<style type="text/css">
#frame {overflow-x:none;overflow-y:none;border:0px;};
</style>
<iframe id="frame" src="URL" width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT" scrolling="no" seamless sandbox="" />
* replace URL with the url you copied earlier
*replace width and height with the ones you typed in the b-master (or it might be called "A-Master copy" in your business catalyst site
this worked out just fine for me hope it helps you guys
check it out working:
ilenepricedesign.com (reach me page)
ilenepricedesign-contact.businesscatalyst.com (the page i created an iframe of)
===============
update: there were some issues with it (it worked for the most part, just some visual problems)
i created a copy muse file, deleted all except the page and the master i needed, and uploaded as-is to catalyst. i then fixed all hyperlinks on the master for the copied muse file to link back to original site and then on site linked the menu item for the page to go to the catalyst page. this works perfectly, i dont mind the url changing when everything looks the exact same. to the average user, i think you should be fine.

I have a macbook pro with OSX 10.9.3 and Safari 7.0.4. How do I remove BING FROM SEARCHING when i type something into the search bar

I have a macbook pro with OSX 10.9.3 and Safari 7.0.4. How do I remove BING FROM SEARCHING when i type something into the search bar

See below if the search engine setting was changed without your knowledge and you can't change it back.
You installed the "Genieo/InstallMac" rootkit. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the rootkit (as long as you never reinstall it.)
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
Step 1
In the Applications folder, there may (or may not) be an application named "Genieo". Genieo may be partially installed even if this item is absent. If it's present, select it and open the Finder Info window. If it shows that theVersion is less than 2.0, download and install the current version from the genieo.com website. This may seem paradoxical, since the goal is to remove it, but you'll be saving yourself some trouble as well as the risk of putting the system in an unusable state.
There should be another application in the same folder named "Uninstall Genieo". After updating Genieo, if necessary, launch "Uninstall Genieo" and follow the prompts to remove the "newspaper-style home page." Restart the computer.
This step does not completely inactivate Genieo.
Step 2
Don't take this step unless you completed Step 1, including the restart, without any error messages. If you didn't find the Genieo application, or if you couldn't complete Step 1 for any reason, stop here and ask for instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. There's no need to restart after each one. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 3
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this software. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Genieo developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the perpetrator of the scam sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." He will tell you to run the provided uninstaller. As he knows and intends, the uninstaller does not completely remove the malware.

How 2 put desktop widget in the background?

i have managed to put widget on the desktop from the dashboard. now i want to know...
a) how to put the widget in the background? it remains on top all the time.
b) how to have 'space' specific widgets. right now all of them appear in all spaces.
thanks
Neerav

haha! i thought it was a hidden secret until google told be otherwise.
btw, i am not sure if u understand my question. i want the widgets to stay on the desktop but not on top of all other applications. it should come on top only when i select it.
rebooting still maintains the widgets i transfered to the desktop to stay there, which is good, but, they always remain on top, which i don't want.

My iPhone is getting stuck for a few seconds everytime I do something, if i type a letter it will type it twice or a few times, if i click to close the browser it stucks there for a few seconds before closing, if i try to open some app it gets stuck there.
I have restored it and loaded the backed up material again. But this problem doesnt seem to go away. Sometimes it is too much sometimes it is not noticeable, so what exactly could be wrong and what ALL should I do to get it fixed? Please reply.

Thank you. You are very kind. First I backed everything up, then restored as a new phone, and then i couldn't see the contacts, the contacts were not restored when i restored as a new phone. So in order to get the contacts I restored from the backup but then the same problem happened again.
What I meant to saw was that the probelm disappeared when i restored as a new phone, but it reappeared when i restored from the backup. So is there a way to just somehow get the old contacts when the phone is restored as a new phone. All I need from the current phone is the contacts to be there when I retore as a new phone.
I hope I am clear.
Kindly help

I did that many times, I mean I do it everytime. But it doesnt seem to help. It is strange sometimes the phone is slow and stucks for a many seconds, sometimes it is just one or two seconds. Thank you for your help though, but is there something else that you could think of?

Is there a way? When I type something in the search engine feature, is there a way that when I press enter to search, it comes up in a new tab, rather on the page I am using?

When I type something in the search engine feature, is there a way that when I press enter to search, it comes up in a new tab, rather on the page I am using?

Yes, and I presume you mean both the search engine results, and the pages opened from the results.
Without making any changes you could always use '''Alt+Enter''' once you typed something into the search bar, or the location bar so that it would appear in a new tab. From the search results page you could always use "'''Ctrl+click'''" or "'''Ctrl+Shift+click'''" to open link n a new tab

Since I started using Lion (10.7.2) I'm prompted to type my password if I want to add a folder or put something in the trash. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

It sounds like the permissions on your Home folder are snarky.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.
You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

Why is the type of font so small when I print something?

When printing something from the internet, the print is so tiny. Why is that?

File > Page Setup = '''Scale''' - 100% is usually best

How do I stop the type from bitmapping?

I updated my website to iweb 08 and had to rebuild various pages. but the biggest bad surprise was that while the type in the hyperlinks in the earlier version worked fine, now they are bitmapped. and it seems on some pages my type is all bad. it's like I don't have the typeface loaded or something (design elements are shifting and there are weird spaces here and there). but I checked fontbook and I do have it up and running…
also, my drop shadows on picture boxes with drop shadows are dropping off when the site gets published.
any thoughts?
my link:
http://web.mac.com/marcklein1/MarcKlein/HOMEMarcKlein.html

I'm seeing something odd, too. I have a lengthy text block that ends up measuring about 36,000 pixels vertically. Inside is just Ariel text. I've applied some color, italics, and boldface here and there, but no drop shadow effects, outline effects, or anything else that should generate the very plainest HTML. Yet, iWeb keeps attempting to convert this block to a .PNG file, and failing due to the size. The error I receive when I attempt to publish to a folder is "Can't create the file 'shapeimage2_link0.png.' The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges." I have about 32GB free on my disk, and the test folder just resides on my desktop.
I was able to create the page over again, cutting and pasting the text from the huge block into a new text block on the new page. Then I deleted the problem page. It published a few times without a problem. After making some edits to a different page in a different site, however, the same problem returned, and iWeb again decided that text block needed to be an image.
Bizarre.
Looks like I can't dump BBEdit just yet...

Desktop Project Warnings window not the best help tool

The Desktop Project Warnings window is saying that I need to provide an audio clip but not showing where. Is there a better way to see what's needed?
So is there a log file window or something like that where I can trace the problem?
Thanks,
Claes

In looking over the help, you are correct that the description of ad types fails to specify that Desktop means iTunes Radio. The inverse, however, is well-documented:
Create an ad for iTunes Radio on the desktop
I would strongly recommend you click the "Send feedback" link on the help page to let Apple know that the help text should be clarified.
Regarding the learning curve, have you watched the iAd Producer presentations from WWDC 2013? They were very helpful to me:
