email me with your questions!
q: How to I uninstall flores?
a: Apple's answer:
You cannot remove widgets from the Widget Bar or change their order.No, but really, just remove it from ~/Library/Widgets/ . Dashboard is pretty bad about noticing the difference, but it'll figure it out, just scroll left and right.
5/7/5 @ 9am : 15,000 downloads, though a lot of that is probably upgrades. 111 downloads per hour. I hope my bandwidth holds out.
5/6/5 @ 5:30pm: Changing the vase color is working - there are four colors to
choose from: classic purple, plus brown, green, and blue. Those were the only
colors to come out decently. I'm ready to release that tonight, but I'm afraid
I'm really driving the widget sites crazy with my overly frequent updates. I
don't mean for it to be so quick, it's just that stuff turns out to be easier
than I expect.
I also just worked out the resize error that someone complained about - where
the image resizes quickly before flipping. In my opinion, it's Apple's bug,
but I figured out how to work around it. geek detail: before doing a flip
transition, you're supposed to freeze the image and make changes while it's
frozen, so the user doesn't see it. So, you'd think you should do the resize
then, right? Well, no. If the image gets smaller, you have to resize after
the flip; if it gets bigger, you have to do it before freezing. Nonsense.
5/6/5 @ 2:20am: flores now supports Apple Mail. This was the single most requested feature and, quite frankly, I didn't really want to do it. I happen to like gmail, and I didn't want the interface to have too many options. Mail support was surprisingly easy to implement, requiring a single line AppleScript code, and the interface is cleaner than ever. Gmail users will be as disappointed as I am that Apple Mail is the default - but it's really much simpler this way. Using Apple Mail requires no configuration whatsoever, since you don't need to enter a password. Just fire it up and it works.
I am considering growl support for 1.3, but I'm not keen on the idea of a widget demanding attention when the dashboard is closed. Thinking about it.
Except coras to update in parallel sometime tomorrow.
5/5/5 @ 5pm: 10,000 downloads reached. Average since Sunday: 100 downloads per hour.
