Wow - looks like next version will be able to clip images to any shape. If that’s true, can it also clip an image to a shape of a circle? I’d really like that!

Looks like clipRect is getting the alpha-treatment… Nice… :-)

Do those pieces snap-into-place?

oh man, that looks too damn cool… lets hope our assumptions are true :)

Nice. Looks great.

The pieces do snap into place.

Each piece is its own window, which is a stupid way to do it (though hi-LAR-ious when triggering Expose on OS X), but it was a quick and dirty proof of concept.

I can see this one being made into an actual Widget at some point.

Great Job :)

They don’t each have to be in their own window. If the “windows” were created in JavaScript, the fix is “easy”. When my PuzzledWidget revamp hits the gallery you can check that out.

Sure a fix is easy. But as a “quick and dirty proof of concept”, separate windows were even easier. :P

I think you need to think of more ideas. Since as Valentine’s Day is coming you could may some Valentine’s Day Widgets. Any way that’s my idea.

[…] For the Widget developers out there, we’ve added cool features like SQLite support, canvas support (the old puzzle blog post was done via the canvas feature), submenus, rotation of pretty much anything, and DOM-like traversal. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. If you want the full list of new features, check out our release notes. A lot of what we’ve added is based on feedback from the current developer base. So by all means, keep posting in the forums. […]

I wonder if…
…there a way to assign their custom icon to the various users’ widgets from the Gallery by right-clicking the widget to get rid of that boring anonymous grey default “widget” icon one showed in the new beautiful widget dock…
