Works perfectly thx only thing i noticed when I open the widgets first time for a longer time (day after) It says something like "Character not on same account" - I have 2 widgets next to each other (2 accounts) - When I press ok it shows my char and the skill learning-time perfectly normal. Any idea whats up?

---

I've seen that error before also and haven't been able to figure out exactly why it happens. This error message is an Eve API error message that ESM receives after it makes a request, not my program's message. I haven't been able to reproduce the error to test it conclusively... it just seems to happen once in a blue moon. In fact, I haven't had it happen in a while now.

So far, I'm chalking it up to an infrequent communication or server issue. As heavily as the API server is probably getting hit, that seems plausible. However, I'll keep an eye out when I'm updating the code and see if I see any potential causes.

I'm a big fan of this widget and currently use two instances of it to monitor my accounts. Only problem is, one of them will only show an older and no longer used character on my second account, not the one that I am currently playing and training.

Anyone know how to sort this?

Woot!! Thanks alot for this ^^

One question though, what/how are the restrictions if i would hook you up with some Designs for you in return? ^^

---

Feel free to new make designs. I'm going to work on a theme system for the next major release so that it will be easier to add and change themes.

It would make it easier to integrate into the widget if you used the existing HTML and just changed the images and CSS. Of course, changing those two things, you could change the widget in pretty much any way you wish, including sizes. I plan on making a themes configuration file where you can specify all the images and css names. Use layered CSS, and start the CSS tags with your theme name. That way, I can change the style name on the "front" div, and swap out the images for yours, and voila!

Sorry I didn't check this thread earlier. I will look into this and release a fix ASAP.

---

Wraith, had the same issue (i think) with my tool, check the reason here. :)

Althea, you rock. Thanks for this info... this is exactly the same problem. I will update my skill checks to make sure then skill end time is greater than now, and that should fix it up.

I posted this in the Macintosh forum, but I'll repost here anyway: basically ever since Trinity I've been getting some kind of 'Cached API key Authentication Error.' I'm not sure why. A different widget with the same functionality works fine. Any ideas?

---

How often do you get this error? Every time it updates, or once a day, etc.?

---

It's now constant. The widget is non-functional for me :-(

Re-installing the widget after Trinity seemed to help temporarily, but now it's a lot more stubborn. The display is stuck on the skill/wallet balance, etc. from the last time it was working properly. I've trained a few skills since then. I hope this info is helpful....

EDIT: When it's not giving me the error, it seems to just hang there, trying to refresh.

Ok, 2.0.4 is out. You should all get upgrade messages by tomorrow (sooner if you happen to log out or reboot). Let me know if it resolves things for you.

I'm afraid it's still not working for me. I'm not sure what happened after Trinity...

Last thing I can think of to try is deleting ~/Library/Preferences/widget-com.cornerspeed.kasey.Eve Skill Monitor.plist (where ~ is your home directory). This will clear out the preferences, and you have to put everything in again. Let me know whether or not this works.

I dunno what the heck is going on. I deleted the plist. I deleted the widget. I downloaded it again. And somehow it still appeared with my old info (and consequently doesn't work). Crazy. I'm stumped.

This obviously isn't your fault, Blue Wraith. Not sure what else we can do...

EDIT: Wait...it just came back to life....I'll let you know if anything else happens. Thanks BW

v2.1.0 released

Theme support added.
12-hr time format now used

To design a theme
NOTE: It's pretty late right now, and I hope I'm not talking non-sense.
Only the front is currently theme-able.
Use the default Glass theme as a guide.
Some knowledge of CSS will be required. However, if you stick with the same image sizes as the Glass theme, you can reuse Glass's CSS for your theme.
Design your graphics to your liking. Reuse parts of the Glass theme if desired.
The graphics for ESM were originally designed in layers (separate images for shadow, background, glass effects, etc.). You do not have to use layers, but I would recommend it.
For each theme, you can have different "backgrounds". For instance, Glass has several colors available. You can specify as many or as few "backgrounds" for your theme as you like. The way the CSS is laid out, you can have the visual effects separate from the background and the widget will only change the background image when the user selects a different one.

You may send me your themes and I will include them in the next release of ESM for everyone to use. However, please test your themes before you send them. Below is how you can incorporate your theme into your local copy of the widget in order to test it.

Step 1: Place your graphics files in a folder underneath the Themes folder in the widget. To get into the widget folder, go to ~/Library/Widgets. Then right-click on Eve Skill Monitor.wdgt and click Show Package Contents. The Themes folder is there. Open that and create a new folder with the name of your theme (wouldn't recommend spaces in the folder name). Place your graphics in that folder however you like. You can look at the Glass theme for an example. It is found in Themes/Glass.

Step 2: Create the CSS (or copy and modify the Glass theme's CSS to work for you) to arrange all the widget elements however you like them. Then add a style tag for your CSS to the Eve Skill Monitor.html page. Glass is there for an example.

If you're familiar with CSS, between the CSS and graphics you can change nearly anything about the widget (sizes, positioning, etc.). I have not made provisions in the code for the overall size of the widget to be changed drastically. So, try to keep it around the same overall size. Let me know if you want to see something different there.

Step 3: Open Classes/themes.js and add your theme information. You can copy and paste the Glass example and change the properties. You can specify as many or as few "background" properties as you like.

When in doubt, look at the Glass example and just play around. If worse comes to worse, all you have to do is download the widget again, and it will overwrite any changes you made to the old one.

Let me know if there are any problems with Theme support, and let me know if there's anything else I can add to.

Next on the features roster is actual skill finish notification, via an audible message and/or email.
