CLEAR CACHE BEFORE REINSTALLING PROGRAM. There is a "cache" used to save user preference settings for items like - Widgets, Docks, DeskopX themes. To find cache: Go to "C:\Documents and Settings\"user name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock" folder (where "C" is the letter drive, and "user name" is the name on account when you are logged in). If you cannot see the "Local Settings" folder mentioned above - go t
WALLPAPER IMAGES IN DISPLAY PROPERTIES LIST. Microsoft includes a number of backgrounds which can be used for wallpapers with Windows when shipped (i.e., ascent, autumn, azul, bliss, etc.). These are stored by default in "C:\Windows" (where "C" is the letter drive). To get your wallpapers to show up in the "Backgrounds" list of "Display Properties" under the "Desktop" tab - just copy your wallpaper image (.bmp, .jpeg, .png files) to "
Looks like this one worked out well. Thanks, Teach.
I just wanted to say "Thank You" to Jeff Bargmann and the Stardock crew for including the new "Icon Dragging Lock" feature with the new ObjectDock Plus update (version 1.11.518u), which prevent people like me from inadvertently dragging an icon off the dock and watching as it disappears in a "POOF". The feature is found in "right-click dock > view" menu on tabbed dock, and "right-click dock" menu o
Conrad, I would first try unloading all widgets, then go to - C:\Documents and Settings\"user name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock\DesktopX\WidgetCache (where "C" is the letter drive, and "user name" is the name of the account when you are logged on) and delete any widget folders. This should remove any remembered settings for widgets that your computer is having problems with. If you can't see the "Local Settings
sophiesboy, I don't think there is a way to have individual folders automatically show their name in flyout mode. You can show entry name below each icon on a tabbed dock, but this does not change the behavior of the flyout entry names. On second item, is your dock a tabbed dock which extends into screen center? If you create a vertical dock (normal or tabbed) and attach to the side of screen, your flyout will appear to the side (towa
Congrats, 47songs. I drool every time I drop by the University of Washington's Computer store and see all those amazing prices for the really good, really expensive software (about 25% of cost to regular consumers - including Adobe, Microsoft, Corel, Sony). It pays to be a student or teacher in a lot of ways.
Frogboy, I apologize for indicating that 3.5 stars or above are required for skins to be viewable by casual viewers. I did as you asked (logged out and looked) and saw that you were 100% correct. I will prevent any more incorrect technical statements by not speaking before complete verification. Again, I apologize.
The Rated PG, I have not seen anything in the Sysmetrix or Logonstudio yet. The suite is somewhat complete as is. I use the Icon Package for system icons and for dock icons which are easily created with the Icon Library (.icl file) found in the IconPackager themes directory within the Oxidized folder. Are you looking for something specific, perhaps someone (Mormegil or someone with permission would be willing to tackle the pr
Great opportunity to use the techniques we are learning. Thanks, Teach.
If you are applying a theme that includes a WindowBlind, you can load WindowBlinds and go to the "Basic Settings" (left side of panel), and select "Apply any wallpaper supplied", then try to apply the theme again. This may solve the problem, and is the first thing I would try. When the theme is applied, the files are written to the various directories, so in the case of a WindowBlind - you will have a folder for the blind in the "Star
I have to agree with Phoon's rules in the original statement to open thread. If I am not mistaken, the ratings are also used to specify which art is displayed to general public users who do not have an account. I believe that only 3-1/2 stars (7) or above are viewable without logging in. Unless this portion of the ratings use is changed, it might be a lot of work for the Administrators and Moderators to identify which art is to be dis
stardancer555, After download, are you ending up with a ".zip" file which upon opening you see ".png" images and ".ini" file? If so, rename the ".zip" extension to ".dxpack" and place the file in "C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\DesktopX\Objects" folder, (or "C:\Program Files\Stardock\DesktopX\Objects folder if you don't have the full suite). If you are running Windows XP, you may need to go to "Tools>Folder Options>
Wow! How fun is that. Definitely useful and not too long. Thanks, Paul.
Lots of homework to catch up on - I better start tonight. Thanks again, Paul.
True, Excellent environment for Japanese gardens. In fact, when I was running the Children's Aikido program, we used to do a demonstration on "Children's Day - Japan" at the Washington Park Arboretum's Japanese Garden. A fantastic garden which included a nice grass area beside a miniature lake surrounded by cherry trees and other common flora found in Japanese gardens, enhanced furthur by a small stream complete with foot pat
Studying in CorelDRAW with Mormegil's Icon-A-Day tutorials now that I have some free time during the weekend as well as enjoying the Sunny 40 - 50 degree weather we are supposed to have here in Seattle.
Thanks, Teach. Have a nice Friday evening.
Thank you, Paul.
8thNote, It may be because I ordered the Object Desktop snapshot CD at the end of the year, and that is what came on the disc. Not sure on this one, just that the Help>About and SDC lists it as 2.19.003. If you are running the free version, I have recently read in a number of posts that the free version currently goes to version 2.11, it may be that purchasing the full suite gives a consumer the most up to date version? Sorry
Thanks, Teach.
Ah, a true my documents folder with a little bit of everything. Nice one, Paul. Thank you, will download whenever you are able to post it.

Okay, I see the issue. These themes were created with an older version of DesktopX, which had that modified Desktop right-click menu incorporated into DesktopX, and appeared as soon as the user loaded the program. I don't think this can be changed without creating the theme in the current version of DesktopX, but I may be wrong. The only options I found were: Install IconX and in the "Configure DesktopX" dialog go to "IconX"
