Reply to Widget gadget idea-- can DesktopX load... in Customization Software WinCustomize Forums

To answer your questions. I think the only way to load on .xaml animation is through an additional com object if one exists? It's not natively supported. To answer your second. You can only use/load an swf file in an Explorer control which wouldn't suit your end goal. IMO you could easily add those effects using animated png's. It would also be significantly smaller & more efficient.

Creating/Allowing User Defined Icon in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

As I'm not that great at icons I was wondering if there is away to allow the user to use/select their own Icon? Guess I mean more specifically from a gadget perspective as we can changed them by editing widgets.

Way to go guys. Unfortunately, I should have added a negative feature into that Butt Out Widget. I find quitting the easy part, it's the not starting again that always get's me. Quite for five years during college & early 20's. Trust me it gets harder to quit the older you get.

Wouldn't that be essentially the same as an IF THEN ELSE statement? Because that didn't work...and apparently neither does the CASE ELSE. I'm thinking it's most likely using the zero based array? Even though there's nothing specific in the DX documentation most likely zero is a default? So, I'll work on adjusting my arrays accordingly.

Actually, I did put it into a sub. Not only is it easier you'll find it runs up the RAM if you put it into the right click since it calls the code every time you initiate the right click menu. RomanDA, that's a great idea. It also is probably easier on resources & maybe less likely to break the code with repeated FSO calls? I've created one little glitch. If you click the right click

It's getting there. I've nested an array within an array. In simple terms what I'm trying to accomplish. 1. Get all skin subfolders into array. Done 2. Pull each skin.ini path into an array. Done 3. Pull the skin names from second line (variable1) of the skin.ini file into another array for display in the right click menu. Done 4. Build the right click menu. On clicking the skin name calls skin.ini into the applyskin sub & automatically updates the default settings file. Sti

Okay. I think your script just pointed out where I was going wrong. The array is being built from a the collection of subfolders & redim is used within a For Each statement to add each folder into the array. Example Folder Structure: Main Folder | |- Skins Folder | -------------- | | | Skin1 Skin2 Skin3 Then I went and put an additional For Each Statement within the submenu structure then forgot to use redim wh

it was all they way into the 1960's that marrying outside of the faith was enough to get disowned that's how deep the clannishness went. It goes back a lot further than that and not just for people of the Jewish faith.

While I find your article interesting. The general assumptions and vague analysis is quite flawed. There are a number of contributing factors of interest such as How often wealth changes hands (or grows), immigration levels, etc, etc. If your going to do an analysis based on religion then what percentage of the overall population is Catholic, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish, Protestant, etc. Also, what are the percentages of business ownership by religious belief's in general? I wouldn't be sur

I'm having a brain fart. Any help would be appreciated. So, I'm working on my first "Skinnable" Widget/Gadget which uses the ImageMagick Com object to create a reflective PNG. This came about after a request over at Aqua-soft. My goal is to populate a portion of the right click menu with a list of the skins. At the moment I'm using a Subfolder Collection to pull all of the Ini file's. Has anyone got an idea on how to dynamically populate the right click menu with the nam

Hi ya and welcome. First, that's a screenshot not a DesktopX theme and it looks like Vista. Much if not all of it can be done with DesktopX. My suggestion is to spend some time looking through the forums, gallery, DesktopX Documentation, and of course the new Wiki
