I have sent you both emails with an updated ocx in it that should resolve your problem after you go through the instructions for getting that set up. If anyone else has an issue with this, please post here or email Stardock support at [email protected] (official support line). Mike
Congrats, seabass! I like that suit on you, really brings out the yellow in your eyes ;)
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, KG. [e digicons]:([/e] Losing family is difficult, especially when it's sudden and unexpected. It sounds like Holly passed peacefully, which provides at least some comfort in such a distressing situation. I wish you and your family the best. Mike
Thanks everyone! Much appreciated [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Once we get settled into our new house, you're all invited to the party [e digicons]\o/[/e]
I think this kind of utility is a really nice idea and could see a great number of uses derived from it. While creating a utility like this in DesktopX would make the gui creation easier and overall design much nicer, it would be very difficult to implement the features you're looking for natively. DesktopX unfortunately does not include support for encoding .png or .gif images. DesktopX is very flexible though, so if there were some kind of library that offered support for these file
Hey ID, it's great to have finally met you in person. Be sure to come visit again soon :) Mike
Actually we stole Darth Vader and the storm troopers from Wizards of the Coast for a while after he mentioned how much he loved GalCiv2 and Sins ;) Whoever they got to play Darth Vader was truly a well-chosen character though; he loomed over even me (I'm 6'4"). As far as any other pictures... I'm sure there are many instances where I do not even remember what was going on at the time. (The bean bag chair surfing sure was fun though! ;))
I admit it took a little while to get into the flow of things, but I think I am getting the hang of it now. How is this: "Thanks Jafo!" :CONGRAT: I think you're just jealous, Jafo, everyone wants my cushy codemonkey position! :LOL: By the way, you may notice my previous posts are after 10pm ;P They don't have me working at home ...... yet Mike, official codemonkey (it even says so on my car)

theAVMAN: looks great! I am looking forward to throwing that into a gadget.

Very impressive Spencer! Congrats :CONGRAT: Mike
Hey, thanks a lot everyone! It is much appreciated. I know that even though I will be physically moving and have projects on my plate, I'll still be (at least partially) mentally there in support. mike\apps isn't going anywhere and I hope to actually finish some of the support projects I've started recently so I can finally fill that directory with some apps rather than batch files :p There are a lot of people I would like to thank, th
I've also tried to repro this here to no avail. I've installed WB clean from Impulse, using the US-1 server, rebooted, then applied a skin after rebooting without a problem.

I think having something like that, where it opens a dialog and gives you some options about what to download might be interesting. I could have it initiate a search and parse out the results to include direct links to each of the themes. Having it download them automatically would definitely be doable I think, but might become more complicated if there is a download limiter in effect because the user is not a current subscriber/customer. I was thinking of something like what ThemeMa

Well Ctrl+Shift+C is reserved for CursorFX (Enable/Disable toggle), so you may want to instead use something like Ctrl+Shift+D. ( D for DeskScapes ?) Ultimately, it would probably be best if it were user-configurable. Think of the apps (like visual studio) that have hundreds upon hundreds of shortcuts... if just one were already regularly used by someone, it wouldn't be good if that conflicted. Really cool idea by the way... I believe I suggested something like
That is really some excellent work, Stefan! I look forward to seeing some more of X3GC2! Mike
Automan: Try creating a shortcut to "DesktopX Builder.exe" (located by default at c:\program files\stardock\object desktop\desktopx) and putting that into the start menu->programs->startup folder. Mike
cl1ckm3.exe: The only way to modify anything using the DesktopX Runtime client is if modification is supported through the user interface. For example, the theme might pop up a context menu when you right click, giving you the ability to adjust certain options. When you use the DesktopX Runtime client, the option to enter builder mode is unavailable, as you are only able to run objects, widgets and desktops. <IMG alt="'Builder mode' option unavailable" src="http://sd.sta
Vad_M: Great idea! Thank you for sharing this code with us. One of the greatest things about DesktopX is its flexibility in being able to perform the same function in multiple different ways. Mike
There is a known issue at the moment with the DesktopX System.Ping() command. Do not attempt to use this as it will crash DesktopX. I am providing some code that can be used within your script as a workaround. If you prefer to download this, the article link will bring you to an object I have just uploaded. Note that WMI will need to be available on the system on which this is run. Feel free to copy the following code into your script
Keep in mind that any widgets you have running at startup (of extension .exe) will in turn load DesktopX as they require this runtime environment. Though they may have the extension .exe, widgets are not standalone. Generally clearing the object/widget/gadget cache can get things to run smoothly again. Try running this batch file: http://sd.stardock.com/mike/apps/clear_cache_dx.bat Mike
I can't imagine it would make a difference into which object it was that you had added the custom file (they should really all be fine, in my experience). I personally will include any custom files into a parent object, so I know where to look if anything needs to be changed/removed in the future. The point of the custom file process is to have DesktopX add a reference to some external file that needs to be included. When you add in images through the states tab, you are implicitly cr
