Reply to DX SUCKS!!!! in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I had this happen once with a desktop theme I was working on. Everything was fine for quite a while until it crashed, and then the current theme (from the DX current theme folder) would crash the program and the saved (long before the crash) version would also crash the program. It didn't make sense, since the saved version was quite a bit older than the crash event. I tried long and hard to get it back. I even sent an email to Alberto ab

Reply to DX SUCKS!!!! in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

In DesktopX 3.2, scripts can be seperate. This sounds like a great idea. Now, has anyone looked at my recent post on DX requests? There are a few more items that would really make a difference to those of us trying to unlock the potential of DesktopX, which IMO is really great.

Reply to DX Requests in DesktopX Wishlist WinCustomize Forums

Thought I'd revive this. Is anyone listening? Priorities: 1. Make the DX Builder auto-save an option that can be turned off. 2. Make the Font properties work like the doc says. 3. Fix the bug where moving an object with a label via script doesn't move the label. 4. Fix the DesktopX.HostType property - it has never worked correctly for me. 5. Have the script editor automatically save a backup copy of the script

Substantial memory overhead for each widget It's things like this that seem unfair - nothing in the review to substantiate this or give comparisons to other similar programs, just the statement, and people read it and take it as fact. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Mad.gif"

Reply to DesktopX client question in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Hold on there, cowpokes. Why not just toss a script in a string of lights: I guess I did give DD quite a bit to do, just to avoid a simple script. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Laugh.

DD: The key to making a new object is the Clone command in the context menu. As far as changing colors goes, if you're using objects (as opposed to Widgets run as .exe) then you could use my Color Adjuster to do it very easily. Link

DigitalDanes: If you're in DX Builder mode (right-click DX icon in system tray, select Switch to builder): 1. Right-click on the object, select properties, go to the States tab 2. You'll notice that the image being used is "christmas lights.png". Cancel out of the properties. 3. Now, you'll need to find that file on your drive. The easiest way is from the DX configuration dialog. 4. Right-click on the DX icon in the system tray, sel

Don't know if this has been posted before, but I just found it, and it's pretty cool. It's a screen saver that cycles images and displays information, sorta widget-like. Check it out. from the site: With the new MSN Screen Saver (Beta) you can: * Personalize with background photos and news and weather information from MSN® or any RSS feeds from websites you choose. * Search the Web and click news headline

You're right Bichur - Client means no Builder, no editing, no cloning. (Kinda makes me wonder how people not listed as customers are creating the DX Themes they are uploading... )

Reply to Need help with wma files, please in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Are you creating the file? There are different settings for wma files that determine the quality/size ratio. If it's a file that already been created you can probably convert it to a small, lower quality version. Check Tools->Options in Media Player.

Reply to HELP! Anyone!? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I do believe there is a function in WB for doing just that - a button on the titlebar can be configured that way if I remember correctly. Perhaps you inadvertantly implemented that. I'm not really a WB skinner, so maybe someone with more experience will chime in...
