Is this a complaint or a cry for help?

If it's a complaint, I feel for you.

If it's a cry for help, more info is requiered. Maybe upload the object?

Maybe it's a little of both.

OK, here is a pic of the widget running in the bar and in desktopx


If I go in and delete the widget, save the bar, exit the bar, start the bar, add the widget, it will work fine for a little while... then it will split apart again, exactly the same.

And, here is a link to the 2 files

Crap. Now I feel obligatedto take a look and actually try to help.

What version of DX and OB are you using?

The latest betas of both. If needed I can try to package up the bar too. It's a heavily modified version of CRNI's panther theme... modified to the point that about the only thing left of his is the graphics.

I grabbed the widget and dropped it into OB. Tried with two skins . . no problems.

Crap.

DX objects not showing up in the screen cap app I was using . . .

Trust me, the player is there. And intact.

I do wonder where it pulled the playlist from. I had WMP playing and hit the [pause?] button and it started playing something else.

About 5 minutes after my last message, my OB theme became all corrupted so, maybe it was an issue with that file or something. I had the widget set up to use winamp, I don't know if that might have transferred with the player or not. I've tried using the "let dxplayer decide" ubfotunately, I get a directshow error with WMP.
