I'll take a look into fixing it but unfortunatly, I'm about to head out for a vacation!

In the mean time, if you adjust the size via the preferences, it'll correct itself. You can add or subtract just one pixel to the width for example.

I set up one of the buttons on my Hauppauge remote to be F8, which toggles the heads up display mode for widgets. This is a great addition to the widgets I'm currently using. (Weather map, disk space meter, etc.)

I wonder if you could release a version that doesn't have a background image? The plain text would look much better for what I'm doing.

Great widget though. I wish there were more like this!

I'll add a background toggle preference when I add the fix for the background not being properly resized on load with the new Widget engine.

Glad you like it!

I edited the js file and turned off the background, but a toggle would be nice in case anybody else catches on to how great this heads up display works with BTV.

I assume the screenshot above is multiple widgets, right? I don't use 'em but I'm interested in that upcoming recording data for other reasons.

Can you send me your upcomingrecordings.xml file if you still see the channel 0 displaying? I'd like to look into that.

Updated download link to reflect the correct widget - Upcoming Recordings widget will be submitted under a new thread.

Could I possibly ask you for the math/functions you performed to get the date/time displayed?

I just can't figure that out in the xml file - it's showing as 127927296000000000 - how does this turn into Sun May 21, 8:00 PM??

Thanks

You can check the thread:

64 bit integer date stamps

Thanks!!

If you change the file extension from .widget to .zip, you can unzip the file to examine the source code and the javascript routines I used.

Even better!! Thanks!
