About WeeWar Dashboard

WeeWar Dashboard is a small desktop utility that lets you keep tabs on your Weewar account. It sits unobtrusively in the system tray and is easily accessible no matter what application you're using.

WWDb is written in Auto It and natively supports any Windows NT based operating system (Windows NT, 2000, 2003, XP and Vista). This means that is uses a fraction of the RAM (1/60th in most cases) of the other notifiers that are based on 3rd party runtimes (AIR, Java etc).

What's  New

March 31st 2008
Bug fixes:
  • Updated the link on the settings page to help people find their API key to match the latest Update on Weewar.com.
  • Removed link to Pistos' Stats Graph page since it's not being updated any more.
  • Added line to deal with the taskbar oriented vertically.
    New Features:
  • Added some code from Sandawg to allow WWDb to open links in a browser other than the system default.  This way you can have IE for your work stuff and another browser for Weewar.  Thanks Sandawg!
