I never actually used that one. I used the example in objectwidget.txt, 
and it came out fine for me...

I have no experience with that demo... Looks like it was added updated 
7 months ago by Roger Ineichen and hasn't been edited/updated since. 
Perhaps he can provide feedback?

As for the objectwidget, I'd recommend giving that one a whirl, and it 
proved a source of functional inspiration for the code I ended up 
writing (which worked).
