    I would really like to know how to change the prefferences on this Widget. I tried asking the people at Yahoo but they just told me to come to this website. How do I contact someone who can help me?

    Would love to have this on my desktop permanently, but it seems to cause conflicts with 'pop-up' windows spawned from other apps (eg, Instant Messenger notifications that slide on and off the screen). Whenever 'Sun' is running, these windows grind their respective apps to a halt and draw a ridiculous amount of CPU usage as they attempt to draw themselves on the screen. Once they have faded away everything returns to normal. This does NOT happen if 'Sun' is not running. A shame. Can this be fixed?

    I adore this widget; it's one of only two that I never, never close when I take the laptop on road trips.

    The only thing that wd make it even more perfect (is that even possible?) is to have moon info when you hover the mouse, either over the moon itself or over the meridian pointer.

    Great!
    However, if the moon is positioned as anti-sun (nice idea), then the phase of the moon seems to be flipped. Waxing moon should start from the right, but anti-sun starts from the left.
    However, phase display is correct if the moon is not positioned as anti-sun.

    Hi everybody,

    I've loaded this widget but I don't see anything on my desk. What's more,it seems there's no program file among the files loaded...

    It would be kind of you if you could help me. Yhanks
