Reply to Clear controls? in Authoring Stardock Forums

RR - Very good! You actually don't need the script to assign the transparency, you can do it in the properties, as long as the control object is a child of the other.

Reply to Problem with Computer in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

It has to be something other than just Desktopx and Windows, since many are running it and not having the same problem. Perhaps if you listed the other software you have running in your system, someone would have an idea about what is interacting with DX to cause your problem. Or, alternatively, you could use Msconfig to do a selective boot, taking out all your startup items and putting them back one at a time to try and isolate the problem

Reply to Is there something like 'Sub System_OnWallpaperChange"? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I routinely use objects that are partly transparent on my desktop, and I have never noticed the kind of problems you have when changing wallpapers. Have you tried creating a simple object, making it transparent (or translucent) and then doing the wall change? That could narrow down whether it is your system or a problem with the particular object you're using. If it's related to the AppBarMode property, there are other ways to create a doc

Reply to WinCustomize Skinning Contest in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I guess I'm chiming in here a bit late. I saw the original post about this contest, but missed this "official" announcement. I was thinking of entering a DX theme, but the thing about using download counts is that it means that I (or anyone) could simply put together a theme that looked really cool but didn't work all that well. I've downloaded themes that looked great, but once I got them, it only took a couple minutes to realize that I c
