Good to hear that. :) I like colors. You know the colorful decorations can be disabled if so desired, don't you? The rainbow button in Settings > GUI. After all I wouldn't want to force my own personal preferences onto other people. :wink:

Unfortunately can't help with anything Android, I've been staying away from Google for years in any shape or form.

Still alive despite any of my non-friends. :P

Just a heads-up for you one user of my applet. :roll: Since one of the sites I'm checking for data has recently had its certificate expired I built an emergency version that bypasses the certificate check allowing for the applet to continue working in Online mode.
If you don't mind the acceptance of the expired certificate for this minor task then please download and install the fixed version 0.0.6.4 from the first post of this topic. Hopefully it works for everybody, I only tested it in my daily 19.2 Mint and in a virtual 19.3.

Updated to v0.0.6.6. Nothing interesting - just fixed some warnings in the log and the tooltip brief "expansion" on first show.
Download link can be found in first post as usual.

Updated to v0.0.6.7.
Seems like a minor update but it's not quite so. It brings fixes for the major mess brought in by the Cinnamon 5.4 screw-up.

Nice work! FYI there's always gitlab as an opensource alternative to github, linuxmint use it themselves along with manjaro and a few other linux distribution projects. Should you have some webspace, you can host it yourself which enables you to use it on their free tier with support via their community forum only - https://forum.gitlab.com/

Also, there's always the chance Clem might grant you access to use Linux Mint's gitlab server as you are contributing a tool for Cinnamon here. It wouldn't hurt to ask :)
I’ll tell you a DNS joke but be advised, it could take up to 24 hours for everyone to get it.

Thank you for your kindness but this kind of "collaborative" platforms do not quite suit me. Apart from myself being a "lone ranger" these platforms are built in a manner that is almost incomprehensible to me. That and their forced obsolescing of older/different browsers (me being a Pale Moon user) makes us incompatible.
I did however recently upload my applets to my GitHub account so anybody could come up with ideas, patches and whatnot although can't guarantee I'd be able to allow/merge/whatever given I can't understand almost anything related to that platform.
