“Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? Apply anyway? 12 of 12 hunks Ignored – Unfortunately I’m having trouble with your latest version, 0.2, so I thought I would send you a bug report.ĭuring the install, dashboard shows the widget panel with overlaid text in red that says: I’ve been happily using the previous version of iStocks for some time, and I want to start by thanking you for a creating a very useful utility. It is ruining an otherwise great widget, for which many thanks. Until fixed the charts will continue to be useless. Some other apps use their data too, and the problem is the same. I do blame Yahoo for this, but accessing them isn’t easy. We and the rest of the planet would have known about it. Just to be clear, these price fluctuations, much like a flash crash except over a relatively long period, did not occur. Normally this shows as the value hitting the floor around mid September before bouncing back up 10 days later the widget charts however may also show the value effectively at zero from the 2 year max till mid September, when the value then becomes true, and the recent week’s chart shows correctly, I presume.īecause of the very large variance of the price this “event” trashes the y-axis for both widget and online alike (though for the widget all the charts are corrupted), making the resulting chart unintelligible. This is sometimes reflected in the Yahoo online charts, though there it may sometimes affect not all the versions as with the widget, but typically the 6 month only, and/or other periods. Examples are EDIN.L, WWH.L, 3IN.L and GBPEUR=X.

This is a really cool little hack that I like a lot! My thanks to William Ayer for his help on this.Widgets for Mac OS X iStocks Widget: International Quotes In the screenshot above, you can see the dashboard Weather widget floating above Safari and adjacent to the little floating clock from the Date and Time System Preference. The widget will be restored to its regular Dashboard layer. To move the widget back into the Dashboard world, reverse the trick: begin dragging the widget, then, while still keeping the mouse button down, press f12, then let go of the mouse button.

You’ll notice that it lives above everything else on your screen (at least, I don’t know how to push it behind other app windows) so I think you’ll have the best results with small widgets that can be tucked into a corner or lined up neatly on an edge. Move it to where-ever you want on your screen and it’s there, running, fully functional, without the rest of Dashboard around! Poof! Your Dashboard vanishes, but the widget’s still visible. While you’re still dragging it around (that’s critical: keep that mouse button down!) press f12 again. Ready for the fun now? Press f12 to bring Dashboard up, then drag one of your Dashboard widgets around. Now log out of your account by choosing Apple –> Log Out, and log in again (You need to restart Dashboard). You’ll get another regular system prompt within Terminal if it works, there’s no other output to the defaults program. You can just copy and paste from this Web page if you’re concerned that you might type in something incorrectly, of course.
