This app was Re-engineered from an app called wmstock. I have attached the
|
||
|
|
original credits. My goal was to make a super easy to use dock app lib.
|
||
|
|
It's very very limited... It's easy to use though!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I also severly plagerized wmstock's INSTALL instructions.

The inspiration and some of the code for wmstock came from wmWeather (v1.30),
|
||
|
|
an excellent dock application. wmWeather was written by Mike Henderson
|
||
|
|
and it is available from:
|
||

*** I no longer use this PERL package, but I did take some code from it,
|
||
|
|
and used it for versions 0.01 and 0.02 ***
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I also used some code from the Finance::YahooQuotes PERL Module, which is
|
||
|
|
written by Dj Padzensky <djpadz@padz.net> The Finance::YahooQuote home page can
|
||
|
|
be found at http://www.padz.net/~djpadz/YahooQuote/

As I learned more about writing dock apps, I produced more and more of
|
||
|
|
my own code, and fixed what I believe were engineering flaws in wmWeather,
|
||
|
|
however, I recommend to anyone who wants to get started in dock app programming
|
||
|
|
to start with wmWeather, and perhaps also check out this page:

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, for those of you using XPMs in your code, I found its easier to start
|
||
|
|
with someone elses XPM, use your favorite text editor to rename the
|
||
|
|
variables in the structure, and then a picture editor (xpaint) to edit the
|
||
|
|
image. For me, I had to work with the image as a ppm in xpaint, and then
|
||
|
|
run ppmtoxpm to convert the image.
