Couldn't think of a proper way to name the topic.. but yeah.
What this little widget does it sits on your desktop and check's if a streamer is live or not!
Check stream setup
- Automatic update after x minutes (Default is 5 minutes, you can set this in options menu)
- Manually update (If you click this and have automatic set it resets timer for refresh)
- If not live, text is red on name.
- If live, text is green on name.

When you first run the program or at anytime you wish to reposition the GUI to somewhere else on the screen you will see the image below. Simply move this window where you wan't the program to remain (Next time you run the program if you should close it it will default to where you last had it) and then click the "Set Position" button.

And once you add streamer's you will see this GUI, and if live like b4nny was in this picture you will see the text turn green.

You can then click on the streamer's name and a window will pop up and ask if you want to run this stream, edit the stream or run the chat for this stream. When you choose to run the program you can either select running the stream through Twitch.tv (Web Browser) or Livestreamer (VLC or a like program) If Livestreamer is chosen a quality popup box will ensue to choose the quality of the stream you are running.

If for some reason the program crashes when you load it after you've added a streamer or something please note what you did and post here. In the meantime, copy the file "Backup Preferences" paste it and then rename it to "Preferences" and over ride the old one.

Thank you for posting that Von, looks interesting.
This was more to further test some API and desktop manipulation than anything and I thought it came out nicely so I shared it.
But either way, both are nice :)
A small update done to where the "Update" button changes to "Updating.." when an update of the streamer list is currently going on so you know when its happening/finished because it changes back.
Just download v1.3 from the same link in the OP!

Big update!
I have added in the ability to use 20 streams now.
A new button is now available to use labeled "Next" it will change the list of button to the next 5 in the listing.
I have no intentions of going further then this because of the fact it sends API requests for each one and could bog down the PC/internet.
Download link is still on the website provided by the OP!
