Ciao nico can you help me solve the problem i have?

[giorgosm]

looks nice. getting some excepetions when opening some widgets.

[nir36]

nicolas, do you think there should be a difference performencewise due to it using flashlite instead of flash? should i start using this instead of the original FEW? and will the widgets i created be installable on this version as well?

It looks better, but probably consumes a little more CPU (or maybe not..). This version also unloads and switches to 1% CPU use when an application covers the entire screen.

Widgets you had created are not compatible, however I've incorporated your widgets onto this release (proper credit is given on an About option for each widget )

EDIT: Just so you know, I will no longer support the original FEWidgets anymore.

The idea of this first release is to debug the app... as stated on first post, its beta. Could you tell me what widgets are throwing exceptions? (do you have WM 5 or 6?)

[spupuz]

in my case it crash while opening
