I like the widget... but even with the update to 1.0.1, it's still using between 15-25% of my CPU, and I'm running a P4 1.8GHz. Any ideas whether that's fixable?

Thanks for a great widget. Other than the processing issue, it's amazing. :o)

Thanks for your comments, keep them coming ;)

Dan,

Thanks for pointing this out. It can indeed be fixed and I have just fixed it for the next release - I just have a couple of other tweaks to make to it, a new version will be uploaded shortly.

If the widgets window is set as "floating", then when the timeout image appears, you can't click on it to make it go away without going into Konspose. Also, is there any way to change this image?
