Nice work and thanks to all. At this moment it doesn't look like I'll be able to contribute to it as much as possible due to some unforeseen commitments that have popped up recently. Hopefully later in the summer/early fall I can get some things together. He he... missing one very popular widget engine, I love it! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Laugh.gif" border=0 align="a

Reply to Icon Organizing anyone? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Great idea. I tend to organize by project but, know some people who organize by file type. This would definitely be beneficial for them being able to set up specific project areas filled with the respective shortcuts.

has trouble with .ico figured I'd try it since objects take ico Haven't gotten around to trying it yet but, if I remember correctly from playing around with this activeX last year is that you have to be specific in referencing the icon. Try dropping an icon with only one layer in it and see what happens?

Reply to Bill Gates.....Dethroned? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Yeah, just going on the stock value is kind of limited. How much are Gates Real Estate holdings from his initial $600million back in the '80s? Probably not as much as the third of stock he sold would be worth today but, I wouldn't doubt they are pushing high single billions!

Reply to Upgrade to DX pro in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I do understand both sides of this. Its just hard to understand why a company would not want to make more money by reaching out to those that have a standard software and not offer a discount to upgrade. I know there are a lot of people out there that would upgrade if they had some kind of discount. But wont because they do not want to have to by the same software with a little more added to it. So, would I get the same discount on Object Desktop since I

Reply to Upgrade to DX pro in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Hey, I understand your thinking and point of view but, I don't know of any "development" application that offers upgrade discounts? A good example is also from Microsoft. I'm fairly knowledgeable in programming Access under the Professional Suite but, there is no discount to upgrade to the Developer's Edition which has a larger gap between the Suite Price and Developer price when compared to DX Pro.

Reply to Upgrade to DX pro in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I remember this being asked sometime ago and I think the answer was there isn't a discount. Your questions makes sense but, also keep in mind that the Vista Gadget feature is actually part of a beta. Maybe they are working on a limited compiler for the sidebar feature? Or if it's possible maybe an online conversion service? IMO it is worth the money because there isn't an easier development/deployment solution out there for creating stand-a-lone programs. Do what I did talk yo

I saw a free activeX somewhere last year but, haven't been able to find it again. You can do text easily though using the Backwards Object then rotate by 90 and use a mask for the fade it looks pretty cool. Edit: Would this be possible using GDI+? Not sure if it's possible to script though?

Reply to Tooltip + weather in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Now anyone know anything about my weather question? So, basically instead of showing Thursday for today you want it to show the number 28? That definitely requires a bit of tweaking within the script. Edit: Depending on the Widget you should only have to change one thing to get the date number in text format. In the Aero Weather Widget if you go into the "weather_image" object change the following code: [code="vbscript"] De

Nice work-a-round Fairyy~! Yes, it can easily be done in script but, it would take more lines of code instead of doing what Fairyy~ suggested.

Reply to Styler Toolbar in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

It's not in development or essentially the original developer is MIA. I use it but, IMO it's still a little unstable and quickly being phased out by QT Tab Bar on one of my computers. So, to simplify it why start a section for an app that is no longer being developed?

They'd then overwrite themself Yeah, discovered that. So, it would only be acceptable within limited use. Wonder if there is a way to block the call until the previous call is completed? Edit: I'm wondering if there's a way to set the other objects to inactive. Like a separate sub?

Advanced Script Help in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Trying to slim down some scripts and/or put everything into one base script. I've encounter somewhat of a little block. Instead of using a dozen timers that essentially do the same thing I'm trying to pass the object down through the function call into the sub's but for some reason I can't pass the object name from the function into the respective timer. Any Ideas? [code="vbscript"] Const mskT1="mskTab1" Const objT1="objTab1" Dim speed speed=50 '--Begin Universa

The only reason I knew it was from the Shortcut Parsing script. Plus I read up in the Windows Script Resource about it. I always find the best search terms are vbscript+FileSystemObject+find file extension
