    Not sure I understand your question fully.

    If you try run this on your local without a web server you might get a bunch of errors or no unicorn at all. Vectron uses Ajax requests to get the SVG file, for this you need to have a local web server or run it on a real environment. More about this issue can be found here.

    If your question is of a different nature why not ask it over on Stack Overflow, where you can ask your question to a broader audience. I'm sure somebody there will have had the same challenge as you.

    @Daniel:

    I am sorry but I never have used Statuses. I can confirm moist of your steps. But you don't need to clone your original view. You have to duplicate it. (I assume that your original view is not a page)

    In my example above i have a View-Pane. And the autorefresh part is a page. So I had to built the whole view as a page again so i can give it a path.

    I hope this was helpful. If not, please feel free to contact me via E-Mail or Skype.

    Well I have a different issue. Basically I want to write a general standalone script that parses different SVG files and makes some changes(permanent ones). It has nothing to do with the web. How do I go about it??
