I have created a windows gadget that plays a radio stream I am involved in. I have got the gadget image and stream working however would like the main image on the desktop to change at specific times of the day when a new show starts. example: Monday - friday 6am to 10am it shows image 1, and 10am to 2pm it shows image 2 etc... so basically it will change the image for each show 7 days a week. I just cannot figure out how this can be achieved, so any advice would be welcomed or if you can add script for me it would be appreciated.
i tried various options with javasctipt but nothing wok, so hope you can figure it out. As you can see from the test2 the time script does show the image but it does not change when the next hour comes.
Test3 does not show any image but does play the stream
you can download the scripts at link below. Would be good if someone could figure out what i done wrong.
(the radio stream within the script is only for test purposes only)

The .gadget file is just a zip file so can be extracted through winrar

just because MS stopped supporting them does not mean they cannot still be made by people and used.
XP is still widely used even though not supported.
(This is on Windows 7 64-bit SP1)
the weather gadget can be fixed by this fix
Go to "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Services\Cache", open "Config.xml" (-> Edit) and save it (File -> Save) without doing any changes. After 10-20 seconds restart the gadget!
You should've said 'might' be fixed as it doesn't work for me.
