This was first explored a month ago as a cool feature that will enable developers to create mini-apps for Immunity. And it's here and fully implemented! They're called Widgets!
Many of you have already come across them in other scenarios, Microsoft are calling them Gadgets I think for Vista! lol Classic M$ Rebranding! ;)
Immunity Widgets carry on the tradition of small mini-apps that pop up when you need them. our widgets are loaded into the Status Dock at the bottom of the interface and you can open 3 at a time. Though, you can have limitless Widgets installed, you can only choose 3 to load at any one time.
We'll be shipping 3 Immunity Widgets free of charge when you purchase ImmunityCS. 2 of these are confirmed to be:
iTunes Player:
Small Widgit that allows you to play your iTunes music without opening iTunes at all!
Immunity Project Manager:
Small App that keeps track of all your projects independantly. You can setup a contacts address book, calendar, Task list, and Stickies to help keep your projects organized - and of course - it is presented in our Immunity fashion - Green, Black and Super Easy To Use! ;)
MORE GOOD NEWS FOR MMF DEVELOPERS!
We'll be releasing an MMF compatible Widgit template complete with documentation so you guys can start writing some cool Widgits for Immunity! We will provide examples, and explain all the security precautions you need to take into account when creating these beauties!
You can make them either freeware (and we will even host them for you so you don't have to worry about marketing or bandwidth costs), or commercial, and we will sell them for you directly through the Immunity Content Store! :)
We think Widgits are going to be a critical part of getting ImmunityCS into the big time! We encourage you guys who are able to jump in now and help us make Immunity into the ultimate platform for games and multimedia creation! :)
Some Snapz of the Project Manager Widgit tomorrow - Stay Tuned!
