my bad. i dunno how i did it but i brought down the CPU use to ~6%. hmmm... must've been something else.

to the rest of you downloading this, try opening Task Manager and see which app flexes your CPU.

suggestions:d
1. ability to zoom to an area, choose center
2. select earthquakes, get basic earthquake information

i can't seem to get the CPU use down. turned off all animations but still driving my CPU crazy! would've been a good widget though... hope it could resolve this problem...

Mayday!!!
Can someone help me, please???
I changed the page for dowloding the earthquake-infos. Now I can't start the Tremorskimmer, cause he isn't able to read the infos from the new side. And I can't change the url, to the original side, cause he didn't start.
I deleted all files from the Tremorskimmer and added him complete new, but the Widget Engine allways says: Tremorskimmer can not be started.
What can I do?
Sorry - for my bad english, I'm from Germany.
I like this widget very much and don't want to miss him.

Nate...As I mentioned before this is an awesome widget, but it tasks the CPU like crazy. I turned off the animation and scrolling text and that worked pretty good. I downloaded the widget again, but same problem, then when I went to turn off animation again, the preferences said it was off! So now I cannot turn it off, is there a preference file I cn trash as well? Using a PC

It's a nice widget especially for the beginnings of it. But I don't hear any noise when the threshold for magnitude is reached. I'd also like to be able to take away the text list of areas and just have the map and upper bar. Also noticed CPU usage was slightly high as well with animations used.
