I know people are using these. It’s fun randomly running into them here and there on the web. I even have people submitting changes and fixes for them. And, I’ve been continuing to add to them. So it’s time to make them a little more accessible. You can now get the MinimalComps set right on Google Code:

As alluded to in recent posts, there are a few new components. Meet the Meter, Rotary Selector, and Indicator Light.

Meter displays a value within a certain range, like an old volt meter.
Rotary Selector allows you to select one of a number of choices. Same basic functionality as a Radio Button Group. You can click on the right or left side of the knob to “turn” it left or right, or click directly on one of the choices to jump to that. Choice labels can be alphabetic (A, B, C), numeric (1, 2, 3), or Roman Numerals (I, II, III). Maximum of 10 choices. I’ll probably open it up to custom labels later.
Indicator is either lit or not, or flashing at a user-definable rate. Color is also configurable.
Also, as mentioned earlier, the Pushbutton component now has a “toggle” parameter, which makes the button toggle-able – either up or down, as well as a “selected” property to tell you whether it is up or down (if it is a toggle button).
Oh, and one last thing. I changed the license from Creative Commons, which is actually rather restrictive and not really well-suited for code libraries, to MIT, which seems to be pretty open. Enjoy.
