Moon Docklet

from Stardock Forums
I tried to creat a similar docklet, but the programming was more advanced than my skills. I was trying to make a Moon Phase docklet which works similarly (retrieve data from XML and display an image of moon status. The images and XML feed are available for Rainmeter (under the skin called Shiny or MoonShine).

Is there anyone here that can basically use the Weather docklet as a base to create this docklet? or start from scratch maybe?

Thanx in advance

One other option is to convert it to a SysStats docklet (which is supported by OD). Maybe I'll look at it...

OK, it's not usual that I'm able to fulfil a request so quickly, but as per my comments left against Will Rose's DX docklet https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=3589&LibID=3 I have mamaged to port this to SysStats. It's not uploaded yet because I do not have Will Rose's permission to do so.

If Mr Rose is reading this or the library comments in the link above and would care to endorse my docklet for upload (or not, of course!) please let me know.

If I can get your assurance that you won't redistribute it without my permission (since I don't have Will Rose's permission yet), then sure no problem.

Chris TH,

Koasati was kind enough to let me know you were looking for me. I've posted for you over on the comments page for my moon-phase indicator...

Cheers,

With Will Rose's kind permission I've uploaded the ported ObjectDock docklet.

I invite anyone who's interested to view it at the ObjectDock gallery at WinCustomize.

Once again, thanks Will.
