Has anyone had a problem with the sound on this widget? The ticks and chimes sounds garbled, however its just on my desktop, my laptop works perfectily.
Hi everybody. Gary, I love your work. But I noticed that version 1.3.1 doesn't seem to STOP playing chimes at the time I specify. Version 1.2 does it correctly, so I downgraded. Has anyone else noticed that? I'm on a Mac running Leopard.
Thanks for any help, and thanks especially to Gary for such a great widget. Love it!

I agree that the new version is not silencing at the scheduled time like it is supposed to do. Version 1.2 did that.
There are a few additional nit picks though: 1) When you switch volume levels of the ticking between normal and quiet (and visa-versa), you hear both volumes until you close the widget. (Switching to/from off takes place immediately.) 2) I would prefer that Roman Numeral IV be the default (optimized), but it may be that IIII is more authentic. 3) The sound, especially the spoken… voice, sounds rather artificial to me. 4) It does not have any setting to make it autostart with the widget engine or windows, but it should be easy enough to create a shortcut for the widget file in the start menu folder. (I haven't played with auto-starting widgets, yet.)
But these are just tiny nitpicks. The big one is that it isn't silencing at the scheduled time anymore.
Note: The old version (1.2) kept saying it was the most recent version when I had it check to see if there was an update available. It looks that that feature is provided by the widget engine now.More
