Widgets - Universal/PPC

I downloaded the AirTraffic Control widget for my MBP, which is listed as a universal binary app.

However, I can't get it to run correctly and when I look in activity monitor, it's listed as a PowerPC app.

Am I doing something wrong? Or if anybody has a suggestion for a different widget that does the same thing (lists available wireless networks and their signal strengths) I'd be happy to hear them.

Al 1.67 Low-Res, 15 gb iPod 3G, iPod Shuffle, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi,

What version of ATC are you running?

I'm running 2.0.1b400 and that is definately universal binary.

On spintriplet.com they say that the latest beta is in universal binary code.
And if you have downloaded from Apple's widget site, then it is only version 1.2.0, and even though Apple write that it is universal binary, maybe they are wrong 😉 But I must admit I haven't tried downloading the version from Apple.

Even though 2.0.1b400 is beta, I haven't found anything wrong with it.
And it support N-type networks. 🙂

Works fine here. Do you have your Airport port turned ON?

If you have an Intel Mac it will run as an Intel application, otherwise it will run as a PPC application.

Be sure you have downloaded the current version - 2.0.1b400. Do not use the older one which is not for Intel machines.

Yep, the version linked from the apple site is not the most current.

I downloaded straight from spintriplet.com and now everything's working great. Thanks.
