Oh my. Blast from the past. Another life ago, for sure. Thanks for the reminders. I'd totally forgotten about a few of these. :)

There are more things to do with computers than gaming. I for one have been waiting not so patiently for these quad-cores. I'm at my 18-month new computer cycle, and have been holding off until these come out.

Gawd. Or just disable process that are useless for 99% of the people, even power users such as myself. On system boot I only have 22 processes running, and that includes Windowblinds, two instances of Sysmetrix and Trillian. Nice an lite!

Greater and expanded taskbar and systray support. So many additions have been made to DesktopX functionality and abilities, but the taskbar and systray objects have remained the same since 0.74. Makes it difficult to create full themes that work well. Taskbar: Currently there is no way to set the font of the taskbar type objects. There is no way to support a "double-height" taskbar, currently there only one row is supported. S

One on the Sysmetrix bar, and a larger one in DesktopX for when I don't have any windows open.

StealthOS. Modified backgrounds from pure white to slight grey. Not so bright on the eyes. Been on the computer for almost a year now this way.

Sounds cool. Everyone seems to be complaining about features being "removed" from OS 10.4 and all that, but I'd love to see an XP that is just the OS, instead of all the extra tools I never use anyway.

System tray has nothing to do with DesktopX but rather a buggy MCP. Ah, so you do admit it's a known issue. Thank you! Progress at last! And as for constructive feedback, I've posted in the newsgroups with screenshots, multiple steps I've tried to correct the issue, and lots of helpful hints.

Well, I and several others have reported in the forums that the system tray object does not display any icons. Don't take me wrong, I love the software. I use DesktopX (v2.3) every day. I've spent the last 6 months developing a new theme, and just as I go to release it, v2.4 comes out... and it doesn't work with my theme. So of course I thought it was just the theme. I recreated the systray object from scratch from within dx2.4 and still no icons

Mr K. Yeppers. Been done for a while. Here is my personal version: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/5436280/ Everything works, but I had to jury-rig the taskbar object to be colorizeable, and it screws with taskbar notifications. Or rather taskbar notifications screw with it.... And always adding new tweaks and features... I should just release it and then update it as I go, eh?
