Widget Creation Software

Does anyone know of a software that easily lets you create widgets? I know Mac OS X Leopard will have this built in, but is there anything similar to that for now.

Hello Stephen, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Yes, there are two shareware products available for creating widgets for Tiger:
1) Widgetarium is a sophisticated development environment that is patterned after XCode. It has a bit of a learning curve, but it can be used to create just about any type of widget.
2) Widget Code is a far simpler product, that helps you manage the files necessary to create widget and includes a very nice set of widget templates that you can modify.

    Hi JRhonda.
    Very likely. HP Photo Creations runs on Windows 7, Vista, and XP (as well as Mac OS 10.5 and above). You can print your creations in three ways:
    On a home printer (photo printer recommended), 
    For pickup at a participating store, or
    Shipped to you.
    Here are the complete requirements:
    Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7
    1 Ghz Pentium 4 processor 
    256 MB RAM
    15 MB of free hard disk space
    Broadband Internet connection
    Macintosh OS X v10.5 (Leopard) or higher
    Intel processor
    1 GB RAM
    15 MB of free hard disk space
    Broadband Internet connection

    I have done a few windows with dynamic widget creation. Sometimes it
    seems I have to have done self.Open before, to get things to appear
    properly, and sometimes not.
    What I would like is a summation of the issues involved here so I can
    write such code without resorting to trial and error.

  • Widgets and software installations

    I would like to know if widgets running in the background as they do can cause problems when installing software applications or is the OS smart enough to disable them automatically when software (requiring no other applications to be running during installation) is being installed. At the moment I disabled all the widgets individually but don't know if I turn them back on if I should turn them all off everytime I install any new app on my machine.
    Thanks for any info on the subject.

    Widgets such as Adobe's Spry widgets, or our PVII Widgets,
    are very
    accessible. Problems arise when you use Ajax, which is
    totally inaccessible
    "out of the box". To ascertain how accessible something is,
    try viewing it
    with script disabled or on an iPhone.

  • Widget creation on Flex builder and related problems - need some help

    Hi all.
    I am trying to create a widget like application and it seems
    I have made a mistake. As you know, desktop widgets are like small
    stickers, they do not appear on taskbar and can be hidden or
    docked.
    The problem is that I created an AIR application using Flex
    Builder 3 Beta and now I cannot find how to make that application
    behave like custom-shaped window. My app appears on Windows taskbar
    and I don't want it. When I drag the window (which is a custom
    shape) it shows that nasty dragging rectangle around it.
    As far as I found out (and tried it) I need to use cod like:
    var initOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions = new
    NativeWindowInitOptions();
    initOptions.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE;
    initOptions.type = NativeWindowType.UTILITY;
    to hide my window from the taskbar. But it seems I cannot use
    such a code for class mx:Application. Or can I (would be grateful
    for some idea)?
    The main question is:
    if I want to migrate my app to that NativeWindow based
    solution - then NativeWindow is not an mx class and I cannot find
    how I will use Flex Builder Design mode to arrange my GUI elements.
    Is it somehow possible to wrap my mx:Application inside
    NativeWindow and do not have to migrate the design from mxml files
    to pure ActionScript?
    The second issue - if I want to use some kind of subforms -
    like widget settings window - when I move that window with the
    mouse, it is being clipped to the region of my Application. Does
    that again mean that I need to use NativeWindow for creating such a
    "Widget settings" dialog window?
    Thanks for any ideas (and especially for useful links and
    examples :-) )

  • Widget creation: html5 & swf

    I'm trying to figure out how to create custom Captivate 6 widgets that will publish to html5 and swf.  I figured I'd start by pulling apart the A3C widget that's in the Captivate 6 gallery.  I rename the file to A3C.zip.  Unzip it using my Mac's archive utility then zip it back up again.  Rename the file back to A3C.wdgt and try to import it to Captivate.  I then get the error "The description.xml file is missing from the widget".  When I check the folder that was zipped up, the file is definitely there.  This seems to have something to do with the format for the zip file.  What zip utility should we be using to create these widgets?
    If anyone can provide a pointer to documentation for creating custom widgets in html5 & swf beyond that provided in Captivate Help, I'd appreciate it!
    Paul

    I've been successful so far with two approaches.  Where an Adobe-supplied widget almost works (everyone I've tried has bugs and/or missing critical functionality for html5 output), I just edit it as needed. The tricky part is that Captivate tries very hard to overwrite any changes you make in the Gallery with versions that it may be pulling off the web.  In fact, I've caught it replacing its own widgets with buggy old versions whenever you load your project.
    What I do is give my updated widget a new name and then use Insert Widget, rather than loading it from the Interactions window.  The only annoying problem left is that I can't figure out how to get Captivate to update my widget in place.  When I make changes, I'm forced to delete all uses of the old version and freshly insert the new version, restoring by hand all variables changed from the defaults.
    My other approach, where I'm creating something entirely new, is to insert it as a web object.  Then I've used variables and events for communication between Captivate and my widget, which can lead to timing problems if you're not careful.  Also, I the assets for this "widget" don't get automatically moved to the right places when you publish the project as they do for real widgets, but there are workarounds.
    By the way, if your code is going to be html5-only, you can shortcut the Common Javascript calls and just access your Captivate variable directly (in the Captivate top window).

  • IBooks Widget creation failures

    Hi,
    I am experiencing errors and failures when exporting to iBooks WDGT files from Edge Animate 2014.1.1
    Sometimes the exported Widget is just OK, some other times, with no apparent reason, the .wdgt file lacks of the needed Info.plist document inside. It's just not there.
    As a consequence iBooks Author rejects to insert the Widget as it shows an error of "A main HTML is not defined". I tried to created artificially this Info.plist from a working existing one and include into the Widget file with correct parameters, with no luck.
    Someone else experimenting this erratic behavior when creating WDGT files from Animate?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thank you for sharing the result for others.

    Thanks in advnce

    Thanks for the star baydreamer!

    Uhm, never having used the thing, I didn't know that until I looked!
    It always pays to explore the menus in any application - you never know what you might find!

  • Widget creation in Captivate 4 (combobox)

    Just download the trial version in hope of augmenting our screen designs prior to build the application. Currently I am using the ComboBox widget to simulate dropdown menus, but for longer menus the widget gets distorted. My thought was to create a new widget in Flash by using using the ComboBox component in flash. I used the documentation and google searches online to create the widget to import, but I get a not a valid widget response. Any clear documentation to build a widget or point me to a combobox widget that does not distort will increasing the width would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am not sure if you could increase the width of the combobox as such in AS 2.0 but if you want to increase the width of the dropdown width you could do so using this code:
    CB.dropdownWidth= 150;
    Thanks

  • Website Menu Creation Software

    Does anyone have a good solid recommendation for DHTML menu software? I've been using Sothink for many years now, however with the latest release I'm having serious registration and usability issues and their tech support is hideous. I'm not looking for something simple for novices. I've been designing and building websites for 20 years and know my way around code; I just prefer a program that does most of the leg work for me. Also I don't really care if it can act as a plugin to Dreamweaver or not, a stand alone program is prefectly fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    IMO the best commercial extensions for Dreamweaver are found at Project Seven.  
    http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm2/
    PVII pays attention to web standards & accessibility so their menus work on iPhone/iPads, etc...
    Also if you ever need it, their customer support is top notch.  A+++
    Incidentally, I don't work for PVII but I've used their products for years.

  • Best Magazine Creation Software?

    What is the best magazine creating software for Mac? Finding too many topics on Google search and soo many programs that I don't know if they are correct or not

    "Best" rather depends on the specific circumstances and needs, but the magazine publishers I know of use either QuarkXpress or Adobe InDesign.

  • Automatic creation software metering rules

    hi 
    I have installed SCCM 2012 r2 with two servers .A site server and a database server .I enabled software metering on client settings and software and hard ware inventory .But I ve got a problem that sccm doesn't create software metering rules automatically
    .I had already enabled Automatic create software metering rule on SMW properties . But no luck yet.
    when I create a rule manually It works fine but Its not working automatically . 

    you have configured 2% of computers must use the disabled programs to activate automatically (Specify
    the percentage of computers in the hierarchy that must use a program before a software metering rule is automatically created) .so pls check if any of the computers are using the disabled programs or not.Login to test computer and use the disabled
    program and then check the status.

  • Web Site Creation Software for Leopard?

    Any recommendations for software which can be used in Leopard to create quality web sites? Thank you.

    Commercial or personal? Graphical interface or are you a tagger? iWeb (part of the iLife suite) comes with the Mac and is graphical, simple, and for me ultimately frustrating and unusable. RapidWeaver is another graphical web design program which is much less limited than iWeb and I use it for my personal pages and some professional work as well. At the other end of the graphical spectrum is Adobe's DreamWeaver, a commercial product that is graphical but neither simple nor simplistic. Meanwhile, I can create a pretty mean webpage with TextEdit or Coda, both of which require knowledge of tagging and possibly CSS.
