| New Steampunk Orrery Timekeeper Widget |
|
|
The new widget works in all
respects except for the memo taker which, well frankly, doesn't work
yet. It will do in the end but at the moment the memo taker is secondary
functionality to me as the orrery is all about "steampunk eye candy".
That means everything works, rotates, whistles, thumps, jangles and
creaks &c. I think that the visual improvements are what it needed,
the enhanced animation suits the style of the thing and it now has a
real use beyond the note taker.It now acts as a moon phase calculator for those of us who like to know the phases of the moon (werewolves, astrologers, astronomers, abducting aliens and the like). All that needs to be done is to set the date using the date ring and click on the moon. The moon phase will be viewable to the hour and it is quite accurate too. The new orrery uses two additional widgets to provide 'extra' functionality. It uses an under-widget to provide some background cogs visible through the now semi-opaque glass. The second is the moon phase widget originally created by Mark Crossley and steampunked/amended by me. I'll test the three new widgets on Vista (NT6) and Mac OS/X and then I'll submit it here. The memo taker changes will come a little later. Frankly, I've been working on this long enough now and if I continued to be a complete perfectionist the release might take months more. If anyone wants the new graphics for their own version of the orrery (rainmeter &c) I'd be happy to provide. If you liked this, please consider buying me a beer., any contribution is appreciated
