Panzer Disc Storage Gauge Yahoo Widget

Published:

Description

An dieselpunk Panzer Disc Storage gauge widget - This widget just had an update - a code update just bringing it up to scratch.

The Panzer widget is a pretty Yahoo widget for your desktop. It is a simple Disc Storage gauge. Functional and gorgeous at the same time. I based this widget upon my original using the Xwidget engine.

*NEW* Fixes to handle A or B drive if they exist (floppies). Changed to respond quickly to controls and a fix to calculate the drive capacity measurements.

I took the screenshot photo too. It looks like 1944 but it was more like 2004! I created this originally for the World of Tanks and War Thunder communities.
The widget can be resized - Hover the cursor over the widget. Press the CTRL key and use your mousewheel up or down. The widget will resize dynamically. Here is just one more of over 500 steampunk icons and widgets that I have created that will leave your Windows or Mac desktop looking absolutely spiffing. There is a whole set of the little thingies and I must say they do look very steampunk indeed! They really are a suitable replacement for the boring old default icons that come with Windows/Rocketdock/ObjectDock &c.

*UPDATE* This is the Yahoo version. Why are there two versions? Well, the other Xwidget version is fine and it works well but Xwidgets can be a bit flaky especially if you are running a few of them. The Yahoo/Konfabulator versions run more smoothly and interferes far less with your system.

I created all the graphics: hands, surround, reflections myself. It is all my code with some solid help from Harry Whitfield.

STATUS:  Completed I think. Any bugs please report.

THINGS TO DO: Nothing more than a bug or two, if you find any.

It is a fully working widget. Please feel free to download it.

Running the widget using a javascript engine frees javascript from running only within the captivity of a browser, you will now be able to run these widgets on your Windows desktop as long as you have the correct widget engine installed.

The Yahoo widget engine is here g6auc.me.uk/ywidgets_sdk_setup…. These widgets work with Windows XP SP2-SP3, it has been tested on XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and 10/11+.
Instructions:

1. Install yahoo widget SDK runtime engine - get it here: g6auc.me.uk/ywidgets_sdk_setup…
2. Download the gauge here from Deviantart
3. Unzip it
4. Double-click on the resulting .widget file and it will install and run

I'm getting horny for these and fancy a row down the side of one of my monitors.
I'm using rain for CPU usage which shows all cores. I assume that would be a bit of a bugger for this style of gauge - yes ?
