These are a few sample listings. |
Context Menu Items
Widget Preferences
Right click on any shipment to bring up the following menu.
Actions Tab
Double Click Action This setting determines what happens when you double click on a shipment. Setting this option to "None" obviously causes nothing to happen. Setting this option to "Silently Update Info" causes the shipment details to be updated, but not displayed to you, only the status light will be updated if necessary; functioning exactly the same as if an automatic update had just occured for that shipment. Setting this option to "Display Details" causes the widget to update its information and display the information back to you in a self contained window. Setting this option to "Visit Tracking Webpage" causes the carriers webpage to open straight to the shipment details for that shipments tracking number.
Color Tab
Bezel Color: Changing this color will change the color of the entire widget.
Font Color: If you change color of the bezel, you may wish to change the color of the font so some items can be read more easily.
Startup Tab
Update on Startup: Enabling this option causes the widget to immediately update the tracking status for all shipments when the widget is started.
Expand on Startup: Enabling this option causes the widget to start up in the expanded position. Turning this option off causes the widget to start up in the collapsed position.
Timers Tab
Update Frequency: This setting determines how frequently the widget should check the status of your packages. Most websites are only updated once or twice a day at most, so a setting around every 4-6 hours is fairly appropriate.
Toggle Frequency: Your shipments are updated in order, one at a time. These are done one at a time to save your CPU and bandwidth. If a response isnt recieved from the carriers website within this settings time frame, that attempt is canceled, and the widget will attempt to track the next shipment. A setting of around 5 seconds should be suitable for a broadband connection, while those on dial-up may wish to increase this setting to 15 seconds or higher.
