Reply to Hue Slider in Properties in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Thanks guys, this is what I was afraid of. I knew we could remove the slider from the properties so users can't control the hue shifting that way, I was just hoping that Stardock had made that a little more 'designer friendly'. For me it would just make sense to specify that only certain elements are shiftable from that slider control. Easier for me, as I don't have to add more buttons or elements to my widgets, and easier for the usres of t

Hue Slider in Properties in DesktopX JoeUser Forums

Referring to a widget or gadget's right-click proerties, in the appearance tab for the Hue Shift slider... Is it possible to have that slider control only one element [like a background] of the widget/gadget instead of everything within?

Image Filters Plugin? in DesktopX JoeUser Forums

NOTE: wadget= widget/gadget I got this idea, admittedly from Longhorn/Vista. We all know how the transparent window borders actually blur whatever is under them in Vista. But, I was wondering if this can be done with DX? Either through scripting or with a plugin that would be attached to the object. I think this would be neat for wa

Currently I would not feel comfortable sending the widget to anyone yet as it uses a design concept by another artist and I am still trying to get in touch with him for permission. BUT, I did use the "Silica Picture Frame" widget as the starting point and building block for this widget. In fact, the scripts are almost identical, even down to the naming of the images etc. The only thing I added was: Function Object_OnLButtonUp(x, y

Ok, so now I got it to do what I want, sort of. Basically it DOES it fine, but I'm wondering how to do it differently. When I click on the image it takes any image that is not a BMP and makes a new image with the same prefix, but adds the BMP extension in the folder that the original is in. Also, when I close the widget, it resets my desktop wallpaper back to what it was before I ran the widget. What I would like to do [I think] i

"If you know how to obtain the path..." THAT was what was killing me. I thought I had to put a path similar to the reference material into the script, but since the widget does all the image loading and displaying via a script I couldn't just put a simple [fixed] path in there. Eventually I found out that putting "System.SetWallpaper Object.Picture, 1" into the equation worked perfectly, since the script does the full path and image s

*Perhaps mistakingly posted to DX Support Forums ... I am VERY new to scripting.

I am VERY new to scripting. In a way, I'd like to not have to learn it because in my current state I have a problem retaining information that is new to me. This is legitimate, and in no way do I simply want to get code for nothing and call it my own or what-have-you. But I am having a problem understanding what would seem to me a simple thing to do because I've seen it in various aspects with widgets or objects. Please keep in mind I have s
