IP Address - in SVG!

by johnnysaucepn

V1.5 May 2, 2006 4:04:42 AM

Update: now uses ippages.com for data, and has a smoother, and hopefully faster, panel design. Also finally updated to conform to Opera style guidelines.

Part experiment, part demo, part tool! This widget shows your current public IP address, for users with dynamic IP addresses. Customisable with a wide selection of colour schemes for any desktop.

The whole widget is written and scripted in SVG+Ecmascript, the HTML file exists only as a container.

Shows a warning when www.ippages.com could not be contacted, and a flag when the IP changes. Just click the widget to clear the flag.

It should allow highlight options so that I can actually copy the address and paste it somewhere else.

Thanks, looks much better now.

Bill_P,

No, there's no hovering, scaling or resizing effects. The scaling part refers to using the + and - keys to make the widget bigger or smaller, same as any other widget or window.

I've formalised the format of the date/time string, so it shouldn't overrun any more, and I've trimmed the hostname down if it gets too big, so hopefully this version should fix your problems somewhat.

I get no hovering under Linux, no scaling or resizing assuming I'm supposed to. Most importantly the text placement is bad - the gmt time overlays the config button and the dns name extends past the widget's boundries see:

Thanks,

So the text gets bigger when you mouse over it? Interesting... I could add an opacity fade to the other text I suppose, so it fades into the background as the address gets bigger... I wasn't sure how fast it would run on other people's machines, so there's not really any animation yet.

The shadowed text, and the panel itself don't scale evenly - Opera seems to calculate the filtered bitmap once and resizes that rather that recalculating it on every resize event.

Very cool! It scales nicely on my desktop, except the text with shadow. Is that because of the effect on the text?

If you want a full 5 stars from me, make it zoom in a bit when hovering!
