Marsware NewsPanel question...

2sa · #1 (**permalink**) 06-07-2007, 10:35 PM

I installed News Panel today and got it up and running...couple of questions. There are no options on update frequency...does it update automatically with Weather Panel? Does anyone have any additional themes for it? thanks in advance.

I checked it out, and basically, NewsPanel cannot be skinned. It's a beta, and I'm sure if it had made it to a real product, it would have been as skinnable as WeatherPanel.

Watch out if you uninstall it - if it's like TimePanel, it may also uninstall WeatherPanel...

thanks for the tip...could I just restore from a backup without reloading all of my Weather Panel themes?

First of all, I'm not sure it will exhibit this behavior - but TimePanel did.

TimePanel uninstalled just the WeatherPanel app, not the themes (I think). There's a thread on it somewhere in this forum...
