Nice - but how to select decks?

First - I like the small size and general operation. Thank you for making this!

Two issues:

1. On my AlBook, running 10.4.1, The info side of the widget shows a "done" button, but not a deck selector (as shown in the screen-shot).

2. When the text is displayed, the click-target seems a little picky. About half the time, when I try to click on the text to bring back the blank icon (to choose another card), I accidentally click through to the desktop instead.

Thanks again for making this!

Nice - but how to select decks? - cerberus1

Hi Dan;

To select editions, click on the word "edition" or on the number itself.

To select a new strategy from the currently selected edtion; click the center of a lower case "o" or "c" etc.. These targets are very easy to hit once you realize they are always there when strategy is displayed.

The design makes it possible to flip through strategies just for fun; but the intended use is to be able to refer more than once to a strategy for creative purposes, so the UI becomes minimal once an idea is presented.

Please let me know if my explanations clear up your issues with the UI.

There are alpha versions that don't have the selection feature, you can find out the version from the Get Info box..If you have an earlier version of any widget installed and the file name is the same, then you need to drag a new downloaded version manually into your Widgets folder.

It is nearly impossible for the code to continue to run and for that control not to draw; but in Dashboard there can be occasional UI glitches with all widgets.If you have found a bug and it repeats, please email me from the support link on my downloads page.
