Vista Sidebar Gadget

[abroad]

Don't know if here are any Vista users, but might it be possible to program a Gadget for the sidebar which shows which members are online?

Making something the gadget would be simple enough but figuring out how to get the forum data to be displayed on someones desktop is a whole new ball game. I would recommend that you use Mioplanet's MioFactory (http://www.mioplanet.com/products/miofactory/index.htm) (it is a free program but only for non-commercial websites) to create something like that, I made a desktop ticker for my site that uses the external.php page to display the latest threads on my desktop.
