Often when this occurs, it's because Growl, for some reason, isn't running. This can be done from the command line, by typing "killall Dock" (note the capital D.) So if Growl starts after the dashboard, the dashboard needs to be restarted if it's going to use Growl. If it isn't, Growl won't be available to the widget. Q: How do I get Growl to work? How can I select Growl if it's greyed out?Ī: When the dashboard first starts up, the widget loads and checks to see if Growl is installed and operational. Scroll until you find the woot widget - and clicking on it will create another instance.Įach instance has independent settings, and the site to monitor is on a drop down called "Mode" on the back of the widget, where the settings are. Click that, and the widget bar should appear, with all the widgets you have installed. To start another instance of any widget, open the dashboard, then on the lower left hand corner of the screen, there's a plus sign in a circle.

Wootoffs aren't expected to work, but everything else should mostly be okay. Without further ado, here is the latest widget:Ħ.0.0 removes the deprecated kids and accessories Woots, and switches back to parsing HTML rather than an API. In the meantime, I've whanged together a mostly-working widget. The new API requires membership, which I'm working on. If you just want to look at the widget, there are more screen shots available by clicking on the image to the right.įor the last few revisions, this widget relied upon Woot's API and RSS feed, which has been deprecated. If you're not sure what that is or why you should bother, I recommend going to those sites and reading up on it.
well about six other woot sites, at this point. This is an OS/X widget for monitoring the sites, ,, ,, , and.
