Title: XKCD reader for Windows
Post by: Nick on January 19, 2013, 06:41:05 am

Hi

I saw the xkcd widget for unix, and thought of making one for windows (I don't know if someone already has made one).

So here it is, features:
 - opens at last comic
 - browse like you would on the site (previous, next, random)
 - hover the image to get number & name of comic
 - click and hold image to move form
 - double click image to go to site
 - max width of 500px, max height of 400px

Sometimes it's needed to double click, since the comics might be big, and the image is not big enough in that case.

Closing has to be done with [alt][F4] because I thought it would disturb the layout if I added a close button or border in any way.

Enjoy!

I might be wrong, but unix widgets work with Windows as long as it follows the specifications of an X window system.

Well, you need a X server for Windows and the widget compiled for Windows.
