It is really great, something I'd missed. When unzipped where to place the confing file? I placed to opera under program files, then removed from the list of widgets but couldnt find any more. Some help? J
You need to drag it to your browser, like you drag files from one folder to another, when you drop it onto Opera, the widget will open and there should be sound. Now you might want to delete soundless widget, so with unziped widget open (and the ziped closed) go to manage widgets, there you should see two Viking reminders, unziped Viking and other widgets that you have open will be shown in bold, so delete one that is not in bold
Quick fix for not having sound, simply right click, select always on top.
I tried everything. I cannot get the sounds to work. Tried Chris suggestion but no success. Are there any more suggestions to get the sound to work. Thanks
Fantastic little widget, thanks Chris for the sound tip.Just a question is there a way to set multiple reminders? without downloading 2 or 3 times.if there isnt it does seem quite a waste,Cheers
nice little man.... :-)
I don't need sound - running Viking is better but: - it should be good if You can make option to hide Viking (run out of screen maybe, when he isn't needed, and he could run in when it's time to remind something) - List of couple of tasks, not only "every X minutes" & "at". You know, when I want write down few tasks it would be better write it at once, not one after one when Viking remind me one of them - You should add "new line" code to Vikings text, like this: Hello, it's 2:23, time to: "" but it's very cool, peace
gotta congratz u, bcause this widget rules. Very usefull.
Really outstanding, even with the sound problem!!!!
Vikings are the best.
I regularly use Viking to remind me to stop my tea stewing The only problem is that I have to keep changing the time from '00:00'; it gets a bit boring after a while! So I've had a play with the HTML page to add a bit of code that auto sets the time field to the current computer time. Oh, and then add five minutes to allow the tea to brew and include an appropriat eset of messages. Is it appropriate to post the code change here? I also found a small sound clip of John Cleese yelling "Tea's Ready! - tho' hearing the Viking yelling in a posh English voice is a little strange I could share that too... chris :-)
I love vikings!!
