What Do You Get...

What do you get when you take my UK Radio Player gadget, remove the themes, ditch over 50 stations, add a green tint to most of the graphics I created, add a mute option (personally I prefer a stop button as it saves on bandwidth) and "forget" to give any credit to the original author (i.e. me). You end up with the XFM Radio Player. I suppose I should be flattered that they liked my gadget enough to steal so much of the code, and I'm glad they at least removed the redirect via my server (otherwise I might have intentionally broken it and forced my lot to upgrade hehe). But they could have changed the volume code so it didn't use UKRPVolume, and they could have removed the CSS code for the flyout they're not using. And they could have made the settings page less tall, instead of having a big gap. I think what annoys me the most is that it's currently rated 0.5 stars better than mine, and the BBC Radio Player gadget is higher when you sort by the number of downloads.

I'd love my gadget if it weren't for the fact that a couple of people are having trouble with changing the theme and station, and I don't know why. It works fine on my PCs, I can't seem to replicate it, and no one else has complained. I hope, with their help and patience, that I can fix whatever is wrong.

I hope you've billed them
