[quote]I don't know how to learn vbscript. Everytime I start, my mind diffuses...[/quote] Hmmm... Three years ago I didn't know nothing about VBScript. Bu I much wanted to make my own widgets! It was my Great Dream! And I began to study DesktopX Documentation as well as to find the VBScript Tutorials and Script Examples through Google. I agree. It took a lot of time for this (as for any other Knowledge by the way). However now I even can't imagine a thing I will not create with Desk

Reply to Can I use scripts from widgets or objects which come with Desktopx !?! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

My thoughts about: 1. You may take the scripts and use them if this is really "[B]Tutorial Objects[/B]" and DesktopX [B]End User License Agriment (EULA)[/B] allow you to do that. 2. Any of [B]Widget's Scripts[/B] has their own [B]Authors[/B] (if this is certainly a "[B]WIDGET[/B]" but not just a "[B]SKIN[/B]" for some old script). So... Open About Box to find the Author's Name, then email him to ask about permission. Get it and use the scripts.

Thank you, my Friends! Sometimes it seems to me that my home is here and all of you are my big second family! This is good because I never have so many positive emotions in a real life.

[quote]I don't think the album image is stored in the playing file, is it?[/quote] Yes. It may be stored (for example into the mp3 file through Winamp). But this increases file size on the disk so I never use this option.

Reply to How to bring back a desktopX gadget invisible? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

[B]Vista Weather[/B] is a usual DesktopX widget (not a stand alone gadget). This widget keeps current data in the simple text file (named "[B]weather.ini[/B]") which doesn't contains any widget coordinates. Just temperature units and location... So your problem isn't a bug in the widget script and you can't correct it in the DesktopX Builder. However it may be a bug in the Widget Manager! Try to run it and clear the widget cache (total!). Hope this help you.
