Artist's Comments

This is a dictionary/thesaurus widget. By default, it gets its results from dictionary.com and thesaurus.com, but you can also specify a custom dictionary URL.

Features (v1.5):
* Requires Yahoo! Widgets Engine 3.0
* Much better html handling
* Much better performance
* Image support (flaky right now)
* Graphical tweaks
* Colorized background
* A bunch of other things I can't remember...

Features (v1.1):
* Support for many different dictionaries/thesauri/whatever, including multiple custom dictionaries
- Includes preset entries for Dictionary.com, Thesaurus.com, Wikipedia (English), Wiktionary (English), Merriam Webster Online Dictionary/Thesaurus
* Built-in filters for Dictionary.com, Thesaurus.com, MediaWiki, M-W.com (Merriam-Webster), and straight-up webpages
* Loading animation
* Link-handling ability - opens local links inside the dictionary widget
* Windows-only (until I can figure out why things are so slow on the Mac)

Features (v1.0):

* Lookup in dictionary or thesaurus
* Pronunciations are displayed using Unicode characters
* "Compact" view when no definition is displayed
* Dark glass-esque design

I didn't realize you had a deviantART account as well. Fantastic work on this widget. It blows every other dictionary widget out of the water.

Thank you very much!
:iconrodfdez:
Great Widget!, Love the transparency. I'm kicking myself for not having seen it before!, Good Work!

How do you go about making a 'widget'?

This is very cool.
:iconedrik:
It crashed on me when I accidentally fed it a URL.
:iconruthsben:
Great, except it folds down from the top and then when you go to put it away again, the top moves down. Meaning it doesn't stay in the same place. Am I missing an option?

Check out my feeble attempts at graphics!
:icongeoatreides:
Slthylove, why was your widget retired? What copyright problems it had?
By the way, great widget.

Wow this is amazing. If you can do this then do you think you can edit one of the widgets I've been trying to work on? [link]
I've been trying to edit this Widget to display Jay Naylor's Better Days [link] . I'm sure it'll only take 5 min to edit but I don't know any java. If you'd take a look at this I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.
