I wanted a theme that would integrate with other utilities on my Mac, especially with HyperDock's preview windows.

(Edited with new image so you can more easily see the transparency.)

Great update. Using it to manage my workflows to do list.

Another little feature added and finally we have version 1.0 
 
 
31 Mar 2013 - v1.0
[+] Editing items now possible - use the fn key modifier, select an item or tag to change its details. For items you can set a new tag and change the text, for tags you can update the tag name. Works in tag view, todo and done lists.  
Download the latest version and give it a go.

Well this is kind of a weird one but it CAN be done. No matter what you put in the code (encoding the {} differently), if Alfred sees {query}, its going to get replaced. The way to force it is to have an additional character in there that can't be seen. Try adding a zero width non-joiner in. What's what? Yeah.. I would have had to ask to
 
In your XML, change {query} to {query‌} 
 
That adds an additional character in there so Alfred won't replace it and it also won't be seen

An experimental workflow in Python. Displays a list of comics that you can read straight off of Alfred.

Download: from here  (always the latest version)
Developer side note: The experimental part comes in the form of - it is very easy to extend this workflow if you know a little bit of Python / intermediate programming skills and have a solid RSS feed of a comic you like. Add the code for the new comic in the plugins folder, and as long as it follows the method signature the sample code provided has, you have a new feedback item and comic to read.
Source Code Repo: GitHub
 
Version History
v0.1 - Initial version
v0.2 - Added search support for the list of comics. So typing "comics dilb" will just list Dilbert strip option. Searches are performed against the title and subtitle of each strip. Added a couple more comics to the list based on requests, and two courtesy Jefferson).
 
 
Have fun.

Note from Andrew: While this is a convenient method for updating workflows, I cannot endorse the use of it unless you are fully aware of the security implications of blanket updating all of your workflows. I'm currently working on a built in workflow auto-updater, for a future Alfred 2 release, that performs the standard verification checks that Alfred currently does on manual import, along with migrating your hotkey/keyword settings on upgrading. I'll also be adding 3rd party workflow developer signatures to keep you safe.
 
Hey all,
I've just completed a workflow designed to make it easier for workflow developers to push updates to their work. (And to their flows.) It's called Alleyoop, it's based very heavily on the concept behind David's old extension updater, and it works a little something like this:
When you enter the query oop, it searches through the workflow folders for files named update.json. update.json indicates what version of the workflow is currently installed and where to check for an update. (The format is below.) Alleyoop downloads a remote json file, indicated in update.json, and if that file indicates a higher version, it downloads the workflow at the address given by the remote file. The user finds the workflow in his or her ~/Downloads directory and opens it. There is no step 4. Workflow developers can start implementing this workflow immediately. All you need is a static place to host a json file and an alfredworkflow file—so Github will do, failing all else, but Droplr won't. Place an update.json file in your workflow, with the following keys defined:
 
{ "version": 1.0, "remote_json": "http://alfred.daniel.sh/Updates/Things.json" }  
version should be a float, meaning that 1.0 and 1.1 and 3.14159 are all valid, but 3.1.4 is not, and remote_json should point to a json file on a remote server that's defined like this:
{ "version": 1.5, "download_url": "http://alfred.daniel.sh/Workflows/Things.alfredworkflow", "description": "Brief description of the update." }  
If the version on the remote server is greater than the version on the user's computer, s/he'll see something like this:

 
Selecting a workflow from the list will download it. No fuss, no muss.
 
And that's it! Enjoy implementing this, until we get a good package manager running again, and let me know if you run into any difficulties.

Good Idea. I updated the extension to display its icon. 

Browse and Manage alfred extension (Download)
 
Search and manage the installed extension.
 

 
Usage
 
alf :: display the installed extensions
alf <search> :: search extension by title, author name, and keyword

enter :: Browse the installed folder in Alfred
ctrl :: Reveal the installed folder in Finder
shift :: Execute extension with the first keyword
cmd :: Open terminal in the installed folder
opt:: Export the extension for distribusion (Default: ~/Downloads, you can refine it in export.json file)

export.json
 
The file format is as follows:
 
{
"workflow-export" :
{"directory" : "~/git/alfred-extension/managealfredextension",
"enable": true},
"source-export":
{"directory" : "~/git/alfred-extension/managealfredextension",
"enable": false}
}   'workflow-export' specifies the directory where .alfredworkflow is exported. 'source-export' specifies the directory where extension source is copied.

2.8 - July 16, 2014
 
Handles the title and author having space  
2.6 - April 11, 2013

Thanks man, I can delete a Dashboard Widget now Doing this via Alfred is so much cooler.

This works more smoothly than the extension I was using in V1, thanks!

Really slick work Benzi! Thanks

Quite a simple workflow to search articles on wikipedia (English version). Inspired by a similar workflow here, but it appears the download link is broken...
 

 
Based on feedback from folks, I have an updated version of this workflow. It allows you to
Search against regional Wikipedia sites. E.g. to search against German wikipedia, type "w de what to search for" i.e. "w <language code> <search term>" Language codes are from Wikipedia. You can also configure it to search against just one default Wikipedia by modifying the script filter as mentioned in the workflow. Against each result, a snippet of the text from the wiki page is displayed Remember, you can press the Shift key against a search result to quickly view the associated web page from within Alfred.
 
Try the new version and let me know your comments.
 
 
Q: How can I set one language as the default?
 
Open the workflow's Script Filter in Alfred, and follow the steps mentioned in there.

This is not very foolproof and is very basic at the moment, but you can change the color temperature with Flux.
 

 
Update 1: Now includes option to disable Flux for a minute/hour

Here is Todo. My version of a todo list management workflow using Alfred. This allows you to add quick entries to a list of todo items, view them, delete one or all of them, and highlights items that have been pending too long 
 
Detailed documentation is available at GitHub.
 
Getting Started
Keywords:
todo this is the main keyword, and lets you get started todo <new task> will add a new task todo will display the list of tasks todo # will display the list of tags add <new task> will add a new task done will show you all items that have been marked as done clear to remove items Adding todo items
Typing add a new task will create a new task titled 'a new task'. This will be tagged #default Typing todo #work sign off document will create a task titled 'sign off document' and tagged #work Typing add !! this is sticky will create a pinned item titled 'this is sticky', tagged #default When adding items, add and todo keywords are interchangeable, although the key difference is add allows you to add items with the title twice; todo provides a more informative feedback on screen
 

 
If you wish to load todo items in bulk, use the import keyword, described later below under Advanced Options
 
Hotkey Support:
If you set a hotkey (Alfred removes configured hotkeys when you install a workflow) by opening up the workflow, then you can use the hotkey to import the selected item in Mac OS. e.g. select some text, press the hotkey, and the selected text will be parsed and added as a todo item ---- Select this entire line of text and trigger the hotkey to create a pinned item, tagged !! #forum  
Command modifiers:
Pressing fn key when selecting an item will enable edit mode for that item - this works for both todo items and tagsIn edit mode, use the same syntax that you use to create a new todo - e.g. #newtag new todo text. Todo will identify which portion you need to change and update them accordingly Pressing Shift will allow you to mark an item as done. You can view all done items with the done keyword Pressing Cmd will help you delete either a todo item, and all items that match a specific tag Pressing Alt will help you list out all items that match the currently selected items tag Pressing Ctrl will help you pin/unpin a todo item. Pinned items will always be displayed first (they can be deleted as usual) If you press the Tab key against a todo item, you will be shown all todo items with the matching tag Pressing Enter will copy the text content of a todo item to the clipboard

This is an awesome workflow! 
 
And I have a bunch of ideas
 
In increasing complexity ^^:
- Allow multiple tags.
- Copy all tasks that are currently displayed to clipboard. This would make it easy e.g. to aggregate tasks throughout the day and print them or email them as batch to so. 
- Add deadlines to tasks (maybe add a cronjob to periodically check for due items, use ! as keyword (!tomorrow !23.12.2014, ...))
- Add importance to tasks (maybe with stars? from * to *****, the good thing is that entering 5 stars takes a while, so one is not tempted to over use it , on the other hand this can be done by tags... so maybe not so necessary)
- Allow people to share lists. (This could be done by creating tags whose content is saved to an extra file, which could be put on a dropbox share or mapped network drive.)
- Sync with some todo app (maybe reminders, or toodledo, etc.), because my todo list needs to be portable, e.g. run on my android phone (I'm using wunderlist right now, but since version 2.0 hacking the db file is not easy anymore and there's no api up until now, so I can't suggest that at the time being =( )
