My first Dashboard widget, NASA Kennedy Space Center Video Feeds (version 1.2).

Check out the action at Kennedy Space Center, including KSC weather, NASA TV, Shuttle launch complex 39B, and other locations. Includes the ability to scroll through all 15 channels, or view your favorite.

Updates automatically using the refresh rate that you select. Select from any of three image sizes. You can hide the frame so the image floats on the desktop. Also includes links to several relevant KSC pages.

Known issues:

• The image captions are static, so the text may differ from what is on the KSC web site. In the next version I intend to update the captions dynamically.
• Resizing the widget to a larger size does not repaint the entire image until you grab it and drag (mouse down anywhere in the widget, then drag).

You can still download version 1.0, which displays the same channels, but only in the small image size.

What's New:
Resizing the widget now repaints the entire image without requiring a grab and drag.
Fixed problems when reading and writing the preferences.
Removed the “hide frame” option.
