Press the panic button when you need to hide whatever you were doing...

Can either hide everything with black or open google in Opera which will make Opera pop up on top of everything else.
You can also resize the button.

Protect yourself from your mom, little brother or whoever doesn't respect your privacy!

I was just going through my old projects and since this one seems to be so popular, I'll update it soon. I'll change the image to the svg graphic provided by takaari and add the web site selector.

If anyone wants to provide some more graphics to choose from, feel free to post them and I'll consider adding them as alternatives to choose from.

As so aptly said in Dumb and Dumber . . . I like it, a lot!

I also support the requests for the ability to change the graphic to a png or gif with transparancy and the ability to configure the Web site it goes to when clicked.

Good work!

Very cool!!

Useful for me, since my computer is in the living room

Whilst 'Panic' is what we really need, could the text be changed to read something less of a give-away, should someone see it. Eg. a couple of options like 'Home', 'start' etc. Maybe background colour options.

As it is, it is wonderful, I give you 5 stars. Thank you.

Zomg, feel free to use this svg picture. Made with opera sourcecode editor, openoffice.org draw and inkscape: http://koti.mbnet.fi/takaari/panic.svg

I like this widget very much, but could you make it close all other tabs when opening google.

This is awesome!

the black was originally completely black, but apparently it was transparent or something on linux so I had to make it a bit less dark

By zomg , # Nov 6, 2006 2:03:46 AM

Cool. Can you make the black screen darker?

What a brilliantly hillarious idea! Though I would love to see a way to choose which web page to goto when you click the button.

Also, you might want to check out Inkscape for SVG: www.inkscape.org

That was awesome! Great when you gotta hide something, and quick, and it's also fun to yell "HIT THE PANIC BUTTON!!!!". I sure do wish they had Opera at my old school, so I could secretley install this widget, and when the teach came back in the room, she wouldn't know I was goofing off

I love this widget!
