    copied!<p>I am trying to create a very basic windows desktop gadget to display my Stack Overflow Flair.</p> <p>I do not have much experience with html or web development. I have tried to follow the instructions <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff486362%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, but when I install the gadget it is tiny:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/gMUxg.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Yes, it's that tiny white square.</p> <p>I have tried setting a background image but it doesn't seem to work either (I don't actually need a background image, I was just trying to get it to work). If I run the html source file stand alone then it displays correctly in a browser:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/IsZlE.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Here is the code from the html source file (named MySOFlair.html):</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id="gadgetContent"&gt; &lt;a href="http://stackoverflow.com/users/2012446/chrisprosser"&gt; &lt;img src="http://stackoverflow.com/users/flair/2012446.png" width="208" height="58" alt="profile for ChrisProsser at Stack Overflow, Q&amp;amp;A for professional and enthusiast programmers" title="profile for ChrisProsser at Stack Overflow, Q&amp;amp;A for professional and enthusiast programmers"/&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is the code from the manifest file (Gadget.xml):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt; &lt;gadget&gt; &lt;name&gt;MySOFlair&lt;/name&gt; &lt;version&gt;1.0.0.0&lt;/version&gt; &lt;author name="Chris Prosser" /&gt; &lt;description&gt;Mt Stack Overflow Flair Gadget&lt;/description&gt; &lt;!--&lt;icons&gt; &lt;icon src="http://stackoverflow.com/users/flair/2012446.png" width="208" height="58" /&gt; &lt;/icons&gt;--&gt; &lt;hosts&gt; &lt;host name="sidebar"&gt; &lt;base type="HTML" apiVersion="1.0.0" src="MySOFlair.html" /&gt; &lt;permissions&gt;Full&lt;/permissions&gt; &lt;platform minPlatformVersion="1.0" /&gt; &lt;!--&lt;defaultImage src="http://stackoverflow.com/users/flair/2012446.png" width="208" height="58"/&gt;--&gt; &lt;/host&gt; &lt;/hosts&gt; &lt;/gadget&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have tried uncommenting the image links in here, but it doesn't change anything.</p> <p>Any ideas on how to set the size correctly would be greatly appreciated.</p>
