Some Bumptop Widgets are ready for download.

The downloads are currently working fine. Please check your e-mail for the recipt and download orders. You might have to keep an eye on the download and pause / resume it to finish it.
I am trying to work out these issues.. ( Delete or Edit)

@John: My problem is not downloading the files. That part works just fine. My problem is that two of the three zip-files are corrupted. ( Delete or Edit)

@lemburg, I will e-mail you the widgets and then re-upload them to the site.

I put some video's up for you all to check out. Some are on the front page and others are in the Blog section. ( Delete or Edit)

Please, Ask how to make widgets for bumptop, We will help in any way. We are always looking for good ideas.
We are planning on releasing sources for many of our widgets as well as allowing developers to sell or give away their widgets on our site. ( Delete or Edit)

How about you start with making your widgets work. ( Delete or Edit)

We only have one we are selling and it is only 1.99 USD . We are still working on releasing the source for many of our widgets. so be patient. This is all just starting up. ( Delete or Edit)

I will see what I can do to require less info for the downloads.
The way we have it now lets us send out update notices until we get our auto-updater in place.
So please be patient and Understanding. ( Delete or Edit)

Please try and download that once more. We did get out server fixed for the download problem.
Thank You. ( Delete or Edit)

I am going back and forth with our host over this issue. I hope to get it resolved soon. I'm sorry for any inconveniences. ( Delete or Edit)

Please look at the comment below yours for more details. We were having issues to the point that I had to take the store offline for a little while. Everything should be working now. ( Delete or Edit)

I am terribly sorry. I was working on the site. I changed some store configuration settings to allow for more downloads over a greater period of time and it messed some other stuff up. It's working now and d/l are able to be resumed. ( Delete or Edit)

This is a pre-configured site that we put up because the population was demanding our widgets. I will be creating a better site that will work a lot better and also have a better flow within the next couple of weeks.

Also, we did work out most of our bugs within the beta period, but if you are experiencing any difficulties, we would like to know about them so that we can fix the issues.

Thanks. ( Delete or Edit)

What browser are you downloading from? What is your connection speed?
This will help me find the issue here ( Delete or Edit)

I am going back and forth with our hosting company on this issue. Please be patient as we try to resolve it. ( Delete or Edit)

can u sedn them to me? i cant seem to dl them... ( Delete or Edit)

Please e-mail me at Jon@indakind.com and I will be happy to send them to you. This way I can track our distributions.

Thank You ( Delete or Edit)

What about one that you can change to whatever your heart desires? It's very theme-able. It comes with 8 different clocks, and again, build your own, if you need help, just ask. ( Delete or Edit)

We tried to put this in the help section of our site. But most of our widgets require .NET 3.5 sp1. Try and install that and it should work just fine. Any more questions, Just ask.

Thanks ( Delete or Edit)

This would be my fault and I apologize, when I packaged this up I forgot the settings.xml file that the program needs to run. I reset everybody's downloads so you should be able to download it with the code that you received from us. If you can't let me know. ( Delete or Edit)

Matt Thanks it works now.... I tried everything. ( Delete or Edit)

See the next post.... ( Delete or Edit)

Please see my previous post two up from this one. ( Delete or Edit)

Like I stated above, The only thing we add to that list is .NET 3.5 SP1 redist. Hopefully in the future we plan on not using .NET so those won't be needed. ( Delete or Edit)

Use a D/L manager it will help you out in your daily computing as well

Flashget - http://www.flashget.com/en/download.htm ( Delete or Edit)

They work at least the clock works. I was having issues until they uploaded a working version so if you D/L'ed it within the last week D/Led it again. Again they work.... you must be installing it wrong. ( Delete or Edit)

dont bother. None of them work. I get the feeling this guy is leading people on. ( Delete or Edit)

Shadow, like I said initially the clock did not work but they fixed the issue. I have not tried any of the others. Again Bump 2 Time... Works. Also the machine that I have it working on is XP sp2 with Net framework 3.0 only.... it did not need 3.5. Oh ya I think I forgot to say that .... It Works! ( Delete or Edit)

Cool!!, Our weather widget has always been free as well. It looks like you need to use the built in widget support Bumptop has though. If you download any of our widgets you can see how this works.
The widgets have a \widget directory where you find the \themes dir on your computer. This \widget directory also contains other directories like *.widget . And each one of those has a \data dir.
When you make your widget You need a file named widget.json that contains variables for it. like so:
{
// Widget header block
"header" : {
"version" : "0.1",
"name" : "",
"author" : "",
"description" : "weather",
"url" : "",
// NOTE: This represents the schema from which this widget file will be validated
// against. This allows BumpTop to add and modify default widget changes as
// time progresses, and allows theme developers to ensure that their widgets
// work on the latest compatible versions of BumpTop. Do not change this
// value, unless your widget conforms to the specified in the value.
// Please see the widget docs for more information.
"schema" : "widget/0.1"
},

"widget" : {
"relativeWorkingDirectory" : "data/",

// application to load on startup, and has the same lifetime as the BumpTop process itself
"startupApplication" : {
"path" : "Weather.exe",
"args" : "-run"
},

// an icon reference whose behaviour can be overriden to launch an external application
// or path
"icons" : [
{
"filename" : "weather.png",
"label" : "Weather",
"launchApplication" : {
"path" : "Weather.exe",
"args" : "-edit"
}
}
]
}
}
And the output image of your widget should go to the \data directory: \widgets\weather.widget\data\

Hope this helps. Let me or Matt know if you would like any help(Like the help we have offered in the past) ( Delete or Edit)

The website is down temporarily while we switch hosts. We are hoping that once hosts are switched it will clear up the download issue that people have been having. Check back later today and it should be up. ( Delete or Edit)

We are in the process of switch hosts, I've never seen a dns change take this long, but they can take up to 48 hours. ( Delete or Edit)

I still cannot access the site. The dns change really take so long! ( Delete or Edit)

I think that is part of the problem. We did change DNS Servers at the same time that we switched hosts. ( Delete or Edit)

Í deleted my cookies, did another registration, filled in some random digits in the fax field - no error was returned
This time I didn't get an error ( Delete or Edit)

i had this problem too, i dont wanna pay 11 dollars for a free widget ( Delete or Edit)

We are still having issues our hosting mail servers, in the meantime, enjoy the free downloads. The links can be found on the product page. ( Delete or Edit)

11 Dollars for a widget!! Where did you find a widget for that? ( Delete or Edit)

Oh I did not mean I want free widgets. I just mean that I want a convenient way to download the widgets.lol I really appreciate your hard working! :D ( Delete or Edit)

We have plans of releasing a "Widget's Widget" that will handle the browsing and Downloads of new widgets into Bumptop.
Picture a single widget on your desktop that has previews and info for all the new widgets available for Bumptop. This widget also allows you to browse for more and even Download/Purchase new widgets. Without ever opening up a web browser!
That is the plan but it is a ways away. We still have 2-3 projects ahead of it. ( Delete or Edit)

Thanks alot.. din know how to quit Bump top.. ( Delete or Edit)

It is working perfectly then. It is meant to switch from day to night at 18:00 and from night to day at 06:00. The pro version will calculate out the exact sunrise and sunset times among other features. ( Delete or Edit)

then don't call it as free widget because for free u get version where at day it shows moon in window, I don't think that that is perfectly, I would call it a demo version with limited features ( Delete or Edit)

It's a pity because I like that widget, great work. ( Delete or Edit)

The Pro version has so many other features and a whole new code base. Therefore the two products are separate from each other. This makes this version a free widget that works as it is intended to work (although it may not be how you would like it to work) ( Delete or Edit)

never mind, I made my own weather widget. with sunrise and sunset features about in 3 h ... ( Delete or Edit)

Do you have a pic? Will you make it available for DL? ( Delete or Edit)

no its only for my personal use, because there is no feature for adding locations, it shows weather only for my current location. I'm not very good in programming, I'm just learning :) made in c# ( Delete or Edit)

It should pop up an error if the town is not found and if the weather data cannot be found. If it just goes away after you type in your city. It worked.
This version is the last version of W2W. We have dropped the project. We might open up the code for developers. But we have no immediate plans for it right now. ( Delete or Edit)
