Journeyman, I expect that most current DX developers will both release a free widget for Desktop X user and as well as sell the standalone gadget for people who don't have Desktop X. The point for gadgets is that it doesn't require DesktopX, so they are quite pointless for most people here.

Cygnus, it just so happens that Stardock while developing Desktop X realised that Desktop X was moving along into something quite powerful that could be used to develop seperate applications. So they thought, why not try to sell it to developpers too, not just end users who want to customize their desktop? And also, you must realise that Stardock in a way is shooting themselves in the foot with this. No longer now do people need to purchase Desktop X when applications made now with Pro will no

Cygnus, DesktopX continues to be available on ODNT, I don't understand what you are trying to say. It's not like they discontinued or even crippled DesktopX and released DesktopX Pro instead as a standalone application. DesktopX (as part of Object Desktop) and DX Pro have two separate target customer. While Object Desktop (and therefore DesktopX) is meant as a Windows customization software, Desktop X Pro is targeted towards developers, programmers who may want to make standalone programs that

There are way more people with invites now than people who want them. Especially since GMail have now increased the number of invites to 50. It IS possible that somebody asked for one then received more than one invite back, therefore not using the other(s) one(s). I now have 50 invites and have no idea what to do with them.

I know we have loads of calendars already, but what I'd love is a calendar that stores the data in the standard iCal format (.icl). Apple's iCal uses this format, so does Mozilla Sunbird, and a lot more calendars will in the future, since this format has been adopted as a standard. Ok, so Outlook may never support this format since Microsoft doesn't like standards, but most other calendars are starting to. Rainy is talking about supporting this format in future builds.

Doggy P: instead of highjacking this thread, you should create a new post in one of the Support forums, specifically the DesktopX Support forum if the clock was a DesktopX widget. https://www.wincustomize.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=168

Why Java, may I ask? Since you said you have no knowledge of programming at all, I am assuming you don't know HTML, or any scripting language such as javascript and VBscript. If you want a job a web development, I strongly urge you to master these before throwing yourself into Java. If you already know these, then disregard my post.

Don't be surprised if you get no answer for your Firefox extension thread, it's impossible to add any comment because your have a second submit button in your post that has the same name than the submit button to add a comment (name='submit'). So, in answer to you post, here is what I wanted to add: I made a few custom search engines that are added to the list in the search dropdown box. They're easy enough to make. I can make one that would search the Forums and one that would s

UpsideDown, the question you have to ask yourself is: does this organisation SELL accessories with their logo on it? If so, then consider that the freely distributed use of their logo may be considered a loss of revenue for them and they would therefore object to its existance. Sports leagues almost make more money from TShirt, hats, etc then they do from ticket sales...

Yes, Black Xero, if you could explain a bit more in an in depth article would be interesting. I'd like to know more about this. If, at last, I could run Linux when I'm just casually using my computer, then instantly switch to Windows when I need to work (Photoshop, Flash) or play games without having to reboot, that would be such an amazing long-waited possibility.

TN Brat, the those virus-infected emails never REALLY comes from the email address that is shown in the "from" box. Here's how the virii work: They infect a computer then look at the address book on that computer, pick an address in the lot, and send a virus-infected email from that email address to everybody else on the address book. Some virii even look at the Internet cache (Temporary Internet Files) and scan the recently visited pages for what looks like email addresses and send the nasty e

I've only had good experices from DELL, that's what we had at work. And most importantly, they have GREAT customer support. I've bought my own computers from little corner computer stores, and I've always regretted it. I've ALWAYS had problems with these computers, and I've ALWAYS had problems getting some good service after. They always tried to blame it on me. DELL never once even hinted that the problems were our fault. Good purchase dabe, enjoy your new toy! <img src="http://images.star

Ah, the UN. A flawed system, at best. I wouldn't go so far as calling them communists, but I think it's time it went the way of the League of Nations before we hit on World War III. However, some organization similar to the UN does seem like a good idea to me. Ah! Thank you! A reform of UN wo

For the past few months, I have a new job teaching to grade 11 students in a local high school, and I have quickly become good friends with my co-workers. For some reason, the other 2 grade 11 teachers there are also guys. No women in grade 11, strange since teaching is usually a mostly female job. Anyhow, as I said, I have become good friends with the other guy teachers (age around late 30's, early 40's) and lately we've been talking American Football and had a few friendly arguments (I'm an Ea

Island Dog, something else that makes me think these are legit is that they are all Photoshop 7. Since Photoshop is now at version 8 (marketed as Photoshop CS), it's possible that these maybe be clearance items, which can be bough for cheap since nobody would buy version 7 at full price when version 8 is out.
