Pinning works for the following Window Managers Windows XP Explorer, Windows Vista/7 Explorer, and Gnome, there are a few others, but I haven't tried them all I didn't test on KDE. I'm assuming that I'd need to make a Qt port of it for the pin feature to work, I'm currently using Tk/Tkinter.

I use Open Box and I know that overrideredirect doesn't work, but I knew that before I start this project.

Its not big issue, it just gives it a cooler look is all, not a big feature.

In Ubuntu, the Window manager itself gives the pin feature. Just right click and select 'Always on top' 'Always visible on workspace' if you use multiple workspaces.

Thx a ton...I added this to my conky - cool. I did make some changes to the python file just for asthetics on my side.

I'm coding on the Titanium framework, so right now it only supports Android, ipod touch, iphone, and ipad, with up coming blackberry support. So Symbian will have to come a little later.

If I'm thinking straight Symbian run python applications, so I'd just need to port the GUI toolkit.

Again since I'm using the Titanium framework I could easily port it to iPod/phone/pad upon request, but its still not done, most of the coding is but my development environment went to shit, and I can't seem to get it running in an emulator for the life of me.

Once I do I still need to add some features but it's coming in less than a month if I'm not to busy.

Pin actually removes the window boarder and title bar, or undecorating it if you will, making it feel as if it were a desktop widget. It doesn't work in alot of window managers, but it doesn't raise any errors if the window manager doesn't support it, so hell I threw it in there anyway.

If you want to remove it go ahead its opensource.

UPDATE:
Do to recent changes, the Regnum Stats scripts broke due to changes in Regnum Warstatus section. So today I just changed a few things and got it working again.

So now the downloads can be found here:

• Regnum Stats Widget
• Regnum Stats Conky Script

In linux you can use crontab if not update in time and he will.
This applet will launch as native app on MAC OS X.
Dowload
Good job and keep working

Well they keep changing the War Stats page. Fixing it just means its going to break again in another week...

I'm going to have to request an actual API from NGD, doubt they'll do it however. Maybe I'll just have to find a new way to parse the page.

If you have a fix, please post it and I'll have a look at it.

After seeing ov3rcl0ck's app I decided to try to put together a desktop gadget for Windows 7 and Vista. Works pretty good so far. I just finished it today. Here's a screen shot of it so far (the digits at the bottom are debug info).

I don't know how you parse it, but this is the code I use in a ruby script I created more than 2 years ago which works great (still):

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

%x( kdialog --passivepopup 'Script Initialized' )

castles = []
forts = []

fortNames = %w[ Aggersborg Trelleborg Menirah Samal Algaros Herbred ]
castleNames = %w[ Imperia Shaanarid Eferias ]

while 1 == 1 do

    url = URI.parse( 'http://91.123.197.144' )
    data = Net::HTTP.start( url.host, url.port ) { |http| http.get( '/ranking/index.php?l=1&opt=1&realm=2012&world=ra' ) }.body.split( "\n" )

    castlesData = data.find_all { |i| i[ 'images/keep' ] }
    fortsData = data.find_all { |i| i[ 'images/fort' ] }

    count = 0
    castlesData.each do |current|

        @changed = true if not current[ castles[ count ].to_s.downcase ]

        castles[ count ] = "Alsius" if current[ 'alsius' ]
        castles[ count ] = "Syrtis" if current[ 'syrtis' ]
        castles[ count ] = "Ignis" if current[ 'ignis' ]

        %x( kdialog --passivepopup '#{castles[ count ]} has captured the building #{castleNames[ count ]} castle' 5 --title 'Warstatus' ) if @changed == true
        @changed = false

        count += 1

    end

    count = 0
    fortsData.each do |current|

        @changed = true if not current[ forts[ count ].to_s.downcase ]

        forts[ count ] = "Alsius" if current[ 'alsius' ]
        forts[ count ] = "Syrtis" if current[ 'syrtis' ]
        forts[ count ] = "Ignis" if current[ 'ignis' ]

        %x( kdialog --passivepopup '#{forts[ count ]} has captured the building #{fortNames[ count ]} fort' 5 --title 'Warstatus' ) if @changed == true
        @changed = false

        count += 1

    end

    sleep 60

end

Hope it helps.
Basically, I look at the filename of the gif images and check their index
