Facebook Notification Count

[BenG]

Hey guys,

I want to create a skin that is just a number which relates to how many notifications I have on Facebook. Next to that I'll put a Facebook Icon which is easy enough. However I'm new to Rainmeter and I've looked at some other Facebook Notification Skins and it looks a little confusing. Does anyone know where to start off?

I've also checked on Email skins as they have a similar principle although I'm finding it hard to pick the code out.

Cheers to anyone who can help, I imagine this'll be a long process.

You have to find a RegExp (Regular Expression) that picks out the number count from the facebook feed url.

Basically, by using WebParser.dll and the Facebook Feed URL, we can return the number count (for new notifications) as a value, allowing us to then display that number in a skin.

There are a few skins out there that do this, I believe Omnimo is one of them. I'll see if I can figure it out myself and post back here again in a few days. Hopefully, if someone already has the RegExp and skin on their machine, they'll share it here soon.

Hope it helps - cheers,

Anyone ever come up with the RegExp for the Notifications count in facebook, for use in our skins?

Just curious.

There are some skins on Deviantart that can show them.
