Problem with DX 3

from WinCustomize Forums
I am having a few problems with DX3, but they could be due to my ignorance, so I thought I would get some input from others. The Desktop I created uses 3 widgets and 1 DX object (GT3 mail, calendar, CPU meter and weather)
1 - The DX builder lauches every time I start my computer, even though I unchecked the box for that.
2 - Even though I have the widgets set to inset mode, they sometimes won't start that way.
3 - I get scripting errors occasionally, but not every time I load.

And lastly, just a suggestion (request), is there any way a hue shifter such as in widgets could be built in to the program as a whole? Picking a hue shift by number from 1-255 is just impossible (at least for me).

Any chance you could email us your .desktop? ([email protected]).

Unfortunately, to make sure the problem wasn't with the install on my computer, I did a complete reinstall of DX3 (including deleting all themes, etc). I wanted to run a registry cleaner to make sure there were no conflicting entries left from DX2. But I plan on rebuilding the same exact theme, and if I have problems with it, i will be sure to pass it along. This is also probably a dumb question, but I can't find it in the docs. What is the difference between saving as a .desktop and a .dxtheme?

.desktop has replaced .dxtheme, though the .dxtheme's will still load. It's somewhat clearer on what it's doing/for, as opposed to a widget, gadget (from DX Pro), or individual object.

Not sure if it is something i have done or not, but DX3 will not let me use ANY text based perf mon 2 meters...automatically changes all to big red/green meters...even with previously used themes and whatnot...?
