    The widget also checks the timezone from your system preferences "Date & Time" panel. Is that set properly? If that's not the problem, send me your lat/long/timezone to the email address in the ReadMe, and I'll try to re-create the problem here.

    It's 10:20AM, and I'm trying to get this widget to work. I've tried all the different settings, checked my longitude and latitude, and it won't work. I'm on a 14" iBook. I have no problems with any other widgets. Any suggestions?

    First off, this widget is GREAT. Very cool idea, and it works perfectly.

    Thant being said, I do have two ideas for improvements.
    First, the Moon! For the next version, having a night time moon too would be very nice. Basically, the widget is so cool, I am sad when it goes away at sundown... haha.
    Second is the pop-up that shows you the sunrise time, sunset time, etc when i mouse over the sun. I should have the option to make it not show up. I have been running it at the "floating More

    Yeah! This is pretty sweet! Using Tobias' suggestion, for dual-monitors that are at the same resolution (ie: 1024x768 & 1024x768), it is just easy to hack the onLoad.js and change the line:
    BB_WIDTH = main.width = screen.availWidth;
    to:
    BB_WIDTH = main.width = screen.availWidth * 2;

    Also, it would be pretty cool to "auto-lookup" the longitude & latitude by zipcode. You (Charlie) could lookup the data on that web site mentioned in your Read Me and parse out the result (hard way) or find a SOAP call to do it (hmmm???)

Get It!
