I'm not sure how easy this would be, as I'm not a Perl expert. I'd probably also have to create some way for you to push your own items into the display arrays...
I've also thought about having the plug-in automatically update itself with new versions or parsing tweaks. But so far I've decided against going this route as I'm not sure people would like having a plug-in running unknown code... What are your suggestions? I personally would like having it display Chicago traffic travel times while I'm getting ready for work. I doubt many people would find this useful so I haven't bothered... -Greg -- GoCubs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18954 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
