I am VERY new to scripting. In a way, I'd like to not have to learn it because in my current state I have a problem retaining information that is new to me. This is legitimate, and in no way do I simply want to get code for nothing and call it my own or what-have-you. But I am having a problem understanding what would seem to me a simple thing to do because I've seen it in various aspects with widgets or objects.
Please keep in mind I have searched here and various other sites on scripting, and have also read [but possibly not understood] the documentation for DX 3.1
What I would like to do is make my own desktop picture viewer that on a click of the currently displayed image would apply that image as the desktop wallpaper.
I have 'modified' the included 'Silica Picture Frame' so that there is no resize, no color changer, no exit button, no name display etc. Over the past two days I have edited the scripts so that I get no errors in my widget and in fact in works perfectly except I want to add the ability to simply click on the current image to apply it as my desktop.
I have downloaded and looked at [extensively] a couple of wallchangers that do work, but require the drag and drop of files, or making of a list to be read etc. They are just a bit too complex for what I want to do though, or just too flashy as a widget. I like the fact that the Silica viewer can read a dir and simply display the images in sequence. I've also spent some time modifying it to look the way I want it to, so that time invested is kind of important to me ... I just need that one added function to make it perfect.
So, what I'd like to know is, how can I add an onLbuttondown [or right] to the silica script? [either one in the widget] Or, isn't it that simple? The reason I ask with regard to the Silica widget is because it came with DX and I figure anyone who is willing to help would already have that as reference.
