I want to use the Sponsors Slideshow Widget, http://kolja.galerie-neander.de/plug...ideshow-widget, in the header in place of a tweak to the header code to show a rotating banner. I'm using this widget in the right sidebar now, and it's fabulous.

Will the header area be widgetized in the next version? Will it accept regular widgets like this one?

Yes, you'll be able to add own widget areas similar to how the header area is configured now

%logo%
%widgets(..extra info, i.e. how many cells...)%

Great! What's the ETA on that version?

I hope to release it within "days". There was no development the last 10 days, I'll proceed tomorrow

No development in the last 10 days??? Flynn, don't you know we expect you to work 24/7 on this??

Hi Paulae,
I tried to activate the widget, but received the following disappointing message:
Fatal error: Class 'WP_Widget' not found in /usr/home/ws/pressmed/www.elektroretailmagazine.nl/www/wp-content/plugins/sponsors-slideshow-widget/sponsors-slideshow-widget.php on line 27
Any idea how to fix this? The widget seems to be just what I'm looking for and I'd really like to use it.

Flynn, as and FYI, I am really looking forward to this feature. I'm planning on installing the Search Unleashed plugin ... but ... I'd really love to have it in the header area to replace the default search box.
