March 3rd, 2012 Beta 1.5.7k Note: This client only works with the current beta and not the previous. FAHControl has had some backend changes in the way they format dates and has also removed some fields. Please keep an eye on Elapsed Time and Estimated Finish as these were effected the most. They appear to be accurate most of the time, but sometimes not.

To do: I'm debating putting in a pause/start button for console mode. This will enable you to have more control over the client through the widget. I've been able to get the console mode working on restart with the new client. Unfortunately I cannot get it to stop without a lot of effort, but this is a bug in Folding Client or maybe it's a feature, but I haven't logged a bug report yet Note: I may put a built in update notification in. Seems like an obvious thing to do. January 30, 2012 Beta 1.5.7h
I still need to put some double checking for the Client 7 server. The latest beta does seem to timeout now and then, which makes accessing from the widget impossible. Even when you close the client the processes seem to run rogue in the background. You have to try launching Client7 and closing it a few times. FahControl will not stop it. I have nothing to do with this, but it's definitely an unusual bug in Client 7. The widget is slightly smarter how it gathers information from the project page. It now stores this information in tmp directory. It only updates if the project is not found. This will have even fewer requests from Folding@home server. There's additional information that can be obtained from that page and it may be incorporated in the future, but so far no one has requested it. Remember that the name of the Protein is experimental and most likely will fail at times. Please report what it is and should be if you can. At least provide the project number and what it displayed. Thanks! January 16th, 2012 Beta 1.5.7e Changes:
Growl isn't currently working and I really don't know if it's necessary. I may put it in later. The local and remote view options will come back in the future, but I have to write some new animations. Future: I will add a remote computer connection, but this wont happen for a while and will probably be in the 2.0 release. My biggest hurdle are creating a secure method of accessing the keychain. It most likely only work with OS X and Linux computers. If I ever obtain a copy of windows, then I may do it. Also, I have thoughts of a new non-widget monitor which I think may be cool, but I have to learn a new language to implement it. Here's the latest Beta: Download January 15th, 2012 Beta 1.5.7c8d Fixed:
Changes:
Please report any issues to pgwalsh at the gmail dot come thingy. I know there's still extra space at the bottom. I was going to use an additional item for the official unit name instead of just the project number, but the updates on Folding@Home haven't had much other than the project number and either does the local client. Also note that when showing your widget it takes a couple seconds for the local stats to update. This is due to connecting to the local client server, it's not as fast as qdtools and qdtools doesn't work with client 7. I'm working on making it faster, but I'm not sure if there's anything I can do. There's still work to be done on the back end. January 5th 2012 Beta 1.5.7c8c This version only works with Client 7 and there will be no more development for Client 6. This version is very Beta and whatever you find please let me know at pgwalsh at the gmail dot com. What doesn't work:
What's New:
Notes: Feedback on look and content very welcome. Don't get mad, nothing is in stone and give it time. :P Also there extra space on the bottom of the widget and I haven't decided if I'm going to add server update notice and some additional local stuff. I know some people get made because the widget has too much info and is large. I have a 27" monitor, so it doesn't bother me at all, but I can make a compact mode. Yes no image of the new look. Hope you like it. Beta 1.5.5f2 April 23rd, 2010
Download Beta 1.5.2h April 20th, 2010
Beta 1.5.2g April 19th, 2010
This should be final beta. Please report any issues. Beta 1.5.2e This beta focuses on hiding certain fields from Additional info that do not contain values. This is for computers not running the latest folding client or those who run folding on laptops or ppc computers.
April 15th 2010 Beta 1.5.2 Beta If you're running an intel mac, I highly recommend installing the new folding client. If you're on a Mac Pro or have a core i5/i7 processor then definitely upgrade as you will fold faster and get more points if you meet your bonus. However, to take advantage of this you will need a PassKey. The widget will tell you if you have one or not at the bottom of additional info, but if you know you don't, then follow this link passkey and get one. You will not see the benefit until you've folded 10 projects successfully. I fortunately signed up for this a long time ago without benefit until now.
April 12th, 2010 Beta 1.5.1i
April 9th, 2010 Beta 1.5.1h March 15, 2010This version has a major rewrite so it may have errors as it's only been tested on x86 Mac Pro. However, it should preform better.
Download Beta 1.4.3g
Download Here's an example of using the checkbox feature and making a smaller widget.  Below are two fully viewable widgets. The one on the right is display the checkbox selector where you can select which fields are viewable. Use the arrow › on the bottom right to open and close the selector. Enjoy!
