I mean some people will have to face facts. Object dock which is being sold by stardock is an immense violation of the intellectual property of Apple's OSX Bar. If that was patented I wouldnt have my object dock. That is just freaking nuts. I think you are a bit off topic. ObjectDock, while it ma

And some countries dont impose Intellectual Propety laws. If you dont believe that such and such intellect is property, then whos right is it to say that the author can charge for it. Its not that hard of a concept to understand. So, by your logic, because some countries practice genocide, then that m

Ka806: So are you saying that software (and other so-called intellectual property) should paid for unless someone doesn't want to, and then they can have it for free? So, my work as a software developer and a recording studio owner/engineer would be as a volunteer? Exactly how do you see this working? As for the soap boxes, it seems to me that you've been on yours quite a bit here.

Reply to New Object Type - Suggestion in DesktopX Wishlist WinCustomize Forums

I agree that what your suggesting would be a good thing. In addition how about exposing properties like z-order, activation, start with, and all of the item type properties to scripting. Also, it would be nice to tie object size and placement to states. Oh yeah, and have the object make me some coffee.

Reply to Some thoughts on the file-swapping ruling in Industry WinCustomize Forums

Or maybe it's because nothing on the Internet really exists. It's virtual. I really don't get this argument. Try this: take away your thoughts, feelings, and memories (all virtual). All that's left is your body. Do you exist now? Some of the MOST valuable aspects of our existence are

If/when some such feature/section is added it'd need close supervision to ensure people were NOT actively discouraged rather than encouraged. Why not make commenting contingent on having submitted a skin to the library?

DesktopX has two plugins that allow for email checking and both support IMAP. Several of the DX objects and widgets are built around these plugins. Check the respective libraries.

Sounds like a good idea. Kind of like a workshop area, and perhaps the right to comment would come with the act of actually uploading a blind. That way, people can still look "over the shoulders" of those doing the work, and people IN the workshop can dialog about it. I myself have yet to embark on a WB project, but I am interested, and it would be encouraging to see "works in progress".

Reply to the custom files folder in DesktopX Development WinCustomize Forums

According to the Windows Script documentation, the Exec command only works for executable files (as near as I can tell). The Run command, on the other hand is supposed to work on registered file types also. The only caveat with using Run is that it doesn't deal with spaces in the path unless the whole thing is bracketed in quotes. You need to do something like: Dim strCommands strCommands="%exedir%\Techno.pdf" WshShell.Run(chr(3

Citizen MountainDragon, I only get the channels from my antenna. I see nothing wrong with that. Poor choice to make a comparison with. WOM - I was in no way disparaging getting tv by antenna. If that's what works, no problem. I was suggesting that if someone pays for cable or satelite, then they
