I've just updated the wireless. A small bug when no wireless was detect.

Recall, you should just use your png and upload it to the server :) if you have troubles let me know.

Ya... I don't have alot of experience with sysstate. But I believe the way meters/masking work is the same or similiar as sysstate.

I was after all inspired by sysstate approach for the meters. :)

pcm, I just used the PNG Recall posted with your desklet. It's a simple matter of chopping the image up in Photoshop and replacing the original images.

I can send it to you or post it if you wish.

For reference, the image Recall found is from the wireless networking dialog in XP.

#358319

If you can just package it up and send it to the site that would be perfect! :)

#358432

I uploaded it to the site pcm. Here's the link for anyone interested:

Do you think I should put this in the releases subforum? It's too simple of a mod if you ask me.

#358449

I was also thinking of mod. Don't you mind, Phil?

#358641

I never mind... The more modding the better! :)

Very nice and works well !!

PCM, is there a way to get it to show the network name?

Oh I extracted these ico files from XP. Is it possible for anyone to make higher res versions of these to mod?

xpsp2res_1005.ico

xpsp2res_1007.ico

xpsp2res_2003.ico

I'll look into the ability to get the SSID. I found one possible place.

Just need to learn how to convert ascii char numb to char in VBScript. Would be easy in delphi :P

Hi, I have some new wireless pngs for you to use after gathering images from the net. However I dont know how to add them into the the widget as i could not find an image to use as a mask? Maybe you could figure a way now you have a whole set of images?

here is an example of the images included

Well i pm'd you with no reply.... Been waiting for an answer on how I can get my png to be recognised. I added them to the folder and named them the same but all I get is a black box in the control panel and nothing on screen.

Help is appreciated on how to import my PNG to this desklet.

You didn't name them the same. You're still missing the mask file. It's not that hard to make one, use the default mask as a basis and edit the images you have accordingly.

Ok cool, I really wanna get this working. Then I can release with your permission as Mod. Hopefully it will get it some more interest too!

Done and uploaded to the server. Didn't know where else to upload.

I'll set you as owner so you can modify it. Or upload it again if you want.

Did you register at the site yet? And what was your user name?

Awesome thanks mate! What was I doing wrong out of interest?

PCM I just noticed a bit of a security issue there. The link you gave me keeps me logged in as your username. Also no I have not registered but I will do as Recall.

oh I meant to ask, is there a way to get the script to read the mbps? ( 54, 36 etc ? )

#366395

I'm going to drop and redo the site very soon, but I need to deliver a new beta version of avescripter first.

Oh..

And your now incharge.

What was missing was the XML to be configured to the new size of you desklet. It was too small. And mask done correctly. You'll notice how the mask looks.

I don't know off hand about the mbps. I haven't looked into it. I imagine it can.

I'll look into it more once I release the next beta for scripter. Many changes and documentation the dull minded part. :(

Ok cheers mate, at least I know what I was doing wrong. I did look in the xml file but must have missed it.

#366440

Ok.... How do i install the wireless meter... >>> :( i have downloaded the file wireless.aveinst... but i do not know how to use it.... Can anybody help me ?

#396705

double click the wireless.aveinst and it will install. Make sure you also have the latest version of avescripter.

Once both are installed just go to the control panel and add your desklet from the list of desklets.
