URLImage displays a very bright white 1-pixel border around the image. It is subtle in bright light, but distractingly bright at night. Is there a way to turn that border off?

Yup, my Infocast 8" was running this fine until about 10 days ago or so, and now won't find this app, even though it's on the website dashboard, and shows as one of the five apps installed in the channel, on the main Apps page. Once you go into the channel, however, it won't show. If it's the only app in a channel, the channel will show 1 app in it, but when you open or play the channel, it says "no apps installed in channel" message. Weird.

I'm have the same problem as the previous 2 users. Existing occurences of this widget are working fine but I can't add new ones.

I have the same problem as the previous poster. When I attempt to add this app to a channel, it does not appear. Also does not appear in the App Catalog.

When I add this via the web to my channel it doesn't appear, and it also doesn't appear in the app catalog on my device... Any suggestions? (On an 8" Insignia)

Cool widget... you don't need to reprogram it. All the user has to do is have multiple copies of the widget with the same URL on one channel and cycle through them one at a time every 15 seconds...

i would be nice if it could retrieve password protected images on the chumby like http://user:pass@server/myimage.jpg

Thank you for this excellent widget! could you derossi be so kind, that you could reprogram your widget so, that the user could refresh the image simply by touching chumbys screen? I have constantly updating picture of my aquarium on my website, and it would be nice if i could also update the picture in my chumby whenever i want. It actually would be even better, if you could make an automatic refresh of the url image!
