Status of Official Widget (for Mac)

[maverickshaman]

Hi all,

I've tried searching through the forum for any information related to the official widget for Mac and the closest I have found is some information from last year saying that it is in the works. Apologies if this has been answered somewhere else, in which case I would greatly appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

For now I am using Tunnelblick and while it works, it does occassionally stop working until I logoff/reboot mavericks. I can certainly survive this but seeing the quality of the Windows widget (which is great and even works well inside parallels and/or fusion), I'd like to know if there is any word on the native Mac widget.

Meanwhile.... thank you CS team for your security, support and principles!

The Mac Widget is definitely still coming, but I do not have any current info on an ETA. I'll poke s few devs to see how it is coming along

Good to know progress continues!

How went the poke?

It's been put on the back-burner for a little while since other projects got shoved to the forefront, and development will be resumed once they have been taken care of. While that goes on, we've completely redone our connection tutorial for tunnelblick to make it as easy as possible to get a working connection going, and a cleanup of Viscosity's is coming shortly.

A widget across all possible platforms is something we definitely want to see and is absolutely still firmly on our "to do" list, but management of resources has diverted our attention momentarily. It'll come back though

Thanks for the update! Shall sink back into the foam of concerned lurkers that abound
