Alvin, it's true that telmiger's site has not been made neat for visitors,
and has elements that are distracting. The pop-up reminder/scheduling
window you see is not related to the details widget, but I understand why
you'd be apprehensive.
Mohammad's plugins, by contrast, are very well-maintained and documented.
You can't go wrong with exploring Shiraz, which has many other functions
beyond the details ("show on demand") function. Shiraz is superb, and I
regularly use several functions in it, especially Dynamic Tables.
I can no longer recall why I ended up relying on telmiger's details widget
-- it may simply be a matter of what I found and implemented first. (It
also may have been a worry about whether the Shiraz sliders "nest" and/or
have great flexibility in the "guts" of what's shown on demand.)
Although it's a big effort to convert a large tiddlywiki that relies on the
old "Nested Sliders" syntax, I think you'll be impressed by the
responsiveness of TW5 once you get up and running. Cheers!
