just went through the code and this thing is fine in case anyone's wondering. it's a gread little widget. but I have on question: how often does it update?

Update is every 60 seconds.

Just modify the line:
var g_update_interval = 60000;
to change this.

Then ZIP everything up, rename it to .gadget and run to reinstall the gadget.

Update is every 60 seconds.

Could you lower this by default? The Mt.Gox website is slow enough without a million of these connecting every 60 seconds.

Anyway, looks really nice, would use it if I used windows.

I like these 2 tools the best for BTC Price Tickers: a Ticker/Calculator, and the other a Multiple Price Alarm tool:
