Hi,
I am really new to xwidget and it looks really cool.
I can't seem to find much documentation.
I want to build a widget which opens an image from a server. That image, with the same name name will be overwritten every few minutes. Similar to an album, but with the same image.

Thanks for your feedback
I will add a DownloadFileCore in next version of XWidget, then you can just set the picture file URL to the DownloadFileCore and image binding this core and select tag %filepath

My Question similar, I'd like to open a (program/file) (which is in the same folder) as the current image(photo)... With a different program.
I know i cannot have any spaces between text, is there a work around for that?

You can do that using HTML Panel and some of HTML and JavaScript code.
For example:
Code:
<img alt="Pic from my server" style= "border:0;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px" src="http://myserver.net/Pic_latest.png">

<script type="text/javascript">

setInterval(function() {reload_window()}, 1000);

</script>

The second parameter of setInterval is a wait time in milliseconds (1 sec = 1000 msec).
But unfortunately HTML panel haven't opacity property, therefore you can't set the widget opacity, even if you set image opacity using CSS and the widget haven't any background object. Very sad for me :(
