Everything, Everything

It's been ages since I've mentioned my gadget, so I thought I'd post a quick update. I've added and tweaked more things than I can remember, and I've put a lot of effort into things behind the scenes (working on the flyout data, updating the redirects, and a lot of tech support). Since my last post, the version number has gone up in minor revisions from 1.1.3 to 1.2.8 (yes, fifteen!), I've added a volume control and way to skip the stations, the number of streams has probably nearly doubled, and there's a variety of themes (the flyout matches the rest of the theme, and I'm offering a theme contributed by another user). I've also generated a portal site for people to visit if they're having trouble with the gadget, or if they want to get in touch.

I hate to say it, but I don't use the Default theme anymore. I should change the default sometime, but I'm really starting to like my "Common (Advanced)" theme, although I miss not knowing what the current status is. I'm still not entirely happy with the volume images, and I might replace the 4 images with 11, so that people can have the triangular looking volume graphic on other themes, similar to how it looked in version 1.2.7. There are still a number of things I want to change, but I think I need to make more of an effort behind the scenes, sorting out the flyout data for the top few stations, and I'm hoping to add another half dozen stations (maybe more, I stumbled across a few Welsh stations earlier and this is the UK Radio Player after all).

So if you're using Vista, please give my gadget a try.
