F@H Monitoring Gadgets for Vista Sidebar

Hey, guys,

Those of you folding on Vista might be interested to see these monitoring gadgets for the Vista sidebar. They're no replacement for FahMon, but they work perfectly for giving you your status at a glance. Nice.

Okay, guys. I wasn't happy with these gadgets after a while so I have begun developing my own. I will be making it available to the public. Here's a list of intended features. I'd like some suggestions and feedback.

Display status of up to 4 folding cores using animated “Aero Theme” progress bars and numerical percentage.
Display user stats based on EOC XML feed data.
Update stats in real-time every 3 hours as new feeds become available.
Provide a link to EOC user profile and possibly other sites.
Single-clicking will open a flyout containing team statistics.
Double-clicking will open FahMon or other monitoring program.
Settings will allow customizing the theme and display colors to better fit Windows Themes and wallpapers.
May add additional functionality depending on whether Gadget is in a docked or undocked state.
Incorporate WMI to investigate system processes so that the indicator can tell if folding cores are actively folding. Active and inactive statuses will be indicated by color.
May display nearest “Threat” by screen scraping EOC website for info.
Incorporate language translations.

I'd gladly help with Romanian and Hungarian translations.

~~Also, I consider myself as a beta-tester even without asking... that's self-explanatory, isn't it?~~

Screw that, I don't have Vista nor do I plan to install it. And I guess this won't be designed for Win 2008 Server.

Looks promising...

When you say open to the public...you mean Dev guys and gals yeah.

Might have to install a copy of Vista on a folding PC just to try it.

@madhyena: I don't have the specs for Win2008Server sidebar. Is it installed by default? If so, it should work for both out of box.

@IceDragon: It's going to be released to the public...as in everybody. When it's ready I'll be setting up a download page with screenshots and help and support information.

IceDragon agrees: Cool

Brian y. agrees: the man with the master plan
