Hey there,

There is a transparent skin as well as a 'custom color' skin, where you can use the color picker. Other than that, we'll have some more options in the very near future, but what you see is what you get!

Hope this helps.

Is there any way to get more themes for a blidget?

Any way to get more colors or reverse the gradient on the skin? It just doesn't work with my site.

I try to stay busy... ;)

By the normal code, I mean click the GET WIDGET button and copy that code. The Facebook app (Flash) may not support this anymore, so I can't say for sure if it works.

Dave - Thanks for getting back to me. As I can see, you are one busy guy, so I really do appreciate it.

If I may ask for one small bit of clarification, forgive my ignorance but how do I "configure it" and what exactly is the "normal widget code snippet?" I tried pasting in the embed code for Flash, Java script and MySpace and none worked properly.

Totally fair! But keep in mind that the metrics say that any of these widgets being distributed as apps (i.e. no major social features built in) are getting a fraction of the traffic that they once did since they were moved to the boxes tab. – Dave Rhea, on November 18, 2008 17:45

hey heart,

if you can't find a widget like this in the gallery (I don't know of any off-hand), you'll need someone who knows HTML to make this for you.

hey there lawrence. Generally, this is due to the feed that runs the blidget not updating. If you post a link to yor blidget I can take a closer look.

What I have verified, however, is that the blidget in general is up and running great.

A comment on the question "Why is the Facebook App creation currently disabled?" in Widgetbox:

It is of huge benefit to us since we have no other way to distribute our widgets on Facebook and would like to do more of it. – AndrewsMcMeel, on November 18, 2008 17:36

Dave Rhea replied on November 18, 2008 17:33 to the question "How do I get my widget on to my Facebook Page (not profile)?" in Widgetbox:

Facebook doesn't have a 'posted items' for Pages. What they do have is an HTML box. I'm not sure if it still works, but you used to be able to add this box to your FB page and then configure it to use our normal widget code snippet.

Hey all,

Still no updates. We're looking into it, but to be frank, the benefit of simple Facebook apps is very low anymore with the new FB profile.

bd -

Patience (or even patients) is no big thing! I know it can all be a bit tricky, especially when you're new to it.

So here's the breakdown:

Myspace only allows Flash widgets, so you'd actually have to have someone build you a flash file that does the stuff that you want to do. They would build you a SWF file, which you'd then submit to us as a Flash widget here: http://www.widgetbox.com/create/creat...

Now, if you were to ask me for MY advice on the easiest way to get this done, I'd check out a service like Dapper (http://www.dapper.net/ ) and see if you can build a feed out of your press release. Then make that feed into a blidget: http://www.widgetbox.com/make_blidget...

Blidgets are compatible with Myspace and pretty much everything else. And then all you have to do is update your press release (on a website somewhere, for example) and the widget will update automatically.
