BBOM Vista Sidebar
Status – 60% done.
Pretty busy the last few days, development is slow on this, as I am unfamiliar with Vista.
Most of the code from the dashboard widget can be reused. the Gadget shell with manifest is already done, I bascally have a gadget with the graphics and text done. Ajax calls are the same, so the gadget is already working.
Graphics have to be redesigned as sidebar gadgets only occupies around 130 px space.. so graphics got to be cramped into a 120 x140 box.
The setting page has already been drawn up. persistence setting is stored in an ini file rather than an xml but like Dashboard it is handled by system calls, so it is pretty easy to implement. This section needs yet to be done.
time for another break.
