Hi, I like your gadget, but I think it would look better, if the heart enlarges keeping his center in the same position. I sugget you to modify the code as follow (I marked my changes with ###PAOLO###):


#heartbeat

import karamba

imageFiles = [
"pics/Station100.png",
"pics/Station101.png",
"pics/Station102.png",
"pics/Station103.png",
"pics/Station104.png",
"pics/Station105.png",
"pics/Station106.png",
"pics/Station107.png",
"pics/Station108.png",
"pics/Station109.png",
"pics/Station110.png",
"pics/Station111.png",
"pics/Station112.png",
"pics/Station111.png",
"pics/Station110.png",
"pics/Station109.png",
"pics/Station108.png",
"pics/Station107.png",
"pics/Station106.png",
"pics/Station107.png",
"pics/Station108.png",
"pics/Station109.png",

if init == 0:
for i in range(36):

karamba.moveImage(widget, images[0], 0, 0)
init = 1

karamba.moveImage(widget, images[image], 150, 150)
if image < 35:
image = image + 1

image = 0
###PAOLO###
x=(MaxX-karamba.getImageWidth(widget,images[image]))/2
y=(MaxY-karamba.getImageHeight(widget,images[image]))/2
karamba.moveImage(widget, images[image], x, y)
###PAOLO###

karamba.redrawWidget(widget)

def widgetClicked(widget, x, y, button):
pass

def widgetMouseMoved(widget, x, y, button):
pass

# This will be printed when the widget loads.
print "Loaded my python extension!"


If you need I will email you the code (the tabs are all flatten, grrr).

You might want to remove the backup files from your archive before posting (*~). They add 307kb to the overall filesize. The archive would only be around 100k without them.

thank you for your advice ....
