Homeland Status
Bobby Thompson


This Widget displays the current homeland security rating, pulled from the DHS website.

3.0b - Makes a small change to the about box.
3.0 - Updated for Konfab 2.0. Adds new and improved themes, and allows customization of the warning colors. Also allows adjustment of how frequently it updates. And the Widget is now Windows compatible...

2.52 - Updated to remove Konfab copyrighted images (in the about box).

2.5 - Updated again to pull the Homeland Security Status off of the dhs.gov XML page. Also updated the mini-aqua theme to look aqua, and added a large aqua theme. Plus a couple of tiny changes you probably won't notice.

Hi Jambon, I made the sesame street version of Jozer's widget and am waiting to hear back as far as releasing it.

Nice! Could you make a variant of this Widget modeled after the Global Stupidity Advisory? Here's the web address for GSA:

If so, I would hope the user could set the level locally. Yes, the GSA is a joke, but I've always wanted something like this.

Excellent for the frightened yuppie who thinks that they might be killed by those terrorists who are lurking everywhere. Or it is a good indicator of how the Bush administration is doing in the polls: if they're going down, there are terrorists around and we should be afraid and rally behind our leaders.

The security rating changed today from Elevated to High but the widget will not update (I've closed/restarted both the widget & Konfabulator to no avail). I am running 10.3.2
