Vista gadget; interested?

[kenargo]

I am working on another piece of software and wanted to gauge interest; would you use this?

Below are some screen shots of a Vista gadget that I am working on. It will show you tank status (top image), refreshed based on your setting and a fly-out, when you click the gadgt which will give you timer control (2nd image).

Longer term I want to have the ability to turn the gadget test red, maybe based on alarm timer or values in the status, I haven't decided on this yet.

Would you like to see additional stuff, let me know.

That is very cool! I am glad to see people in the field so innovative!

suggested enhancements:
-Have wallpapers of your tanks in the various light stages, and have the widget set your desktop background based on the actual lighting phase.
-Have moving icon representing surge so when the surge is on you know it.
-Have icon for Fan/chiller & heater.

I don't know the possibilities the widget api can do, but I have the imagination. Just suggestions. I really like moving stuff on the screen!

I have to come clean, I don't have an aquacontroller as of yet, but my wife keeps missing money from her purse. I expect to have one soon! I can afford the Jr., but She is going to "help" me buy the III
