JerseyCal as a Windows Sidebar Gadget

I have received a lot of requests to convert the widgets here into the Windows Sidebar gadget format. Unfortuately, as a Mac user, I haven't got the ability to do the development and testing that is required to convert them.

However, for those using Vista (and even XP), forum user SupaDawg has posted a step-by-step tutorial on how you can get the Flash version of JerseyCal (found here) working as a Sidebar gadget. This widget allows you to create a list of 31 player's jerseys to correspond with a given day's date. (The image to the right shows what it looks like running.)

It involves a little scripting but is very simple to do and will allow you to run the widget on your desktop. You can find the post and the instructions in the forum here.

Nice work SupaDawg, and thanks for posting that.
