New & Improved MacTips Widget - Huge Update

I’m proud to announce the MacTips widget has been completely rewritten and redesigned. Download Now!

If you’re using the old widget, this is a huge improvement.

This version offers tons of new features, including:

• Full content of tips inside the widget! No more titles only.
• Popular tab added to quickly sort and search through popular tips.
• Resizable so images aren’t cut off (it remembers your size too)
• Ability to watch YouTube videos inside the widget
• Complete redesign, much more appealing
• Previous/Next links to dive deep into the archives
• Plus lots more!

The widget should work back to OS X 10.4. If anyone using Tiger tries this, please confirm that it works as expected.

I’d love to hear any comments or suggestions in the comments.

   Does it still offer title-only view? March 3rd, 2008 at 3:11 am

   Antoni, No it does not. That was the biggest change this release. If you want title-only view, I'd suggest staying with the old version.
   
   Tom C, Thanks for verifying for me. March 3rd, 2008 at 8:15 am

   OK, I'll stay with the old then.
   
   Think about making both views availible in next ver. :)
   /I like title-only view, cause I can check your tips f.e. 1 time a week - I just take a look and I know what's up new, without having to scroll down./ March 3rd, 2008 at 5:31 pm

   Antoni, I will definitely consider that for next release.
   
   On a side note, you can control how long the articles are, so you could bring the slider (on the back) down to the very smallest setting to see if that works for you. March 3rd, 2008 at 5:47 pm
