Reply to Taskbar issues... in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

First of all I'm not sure what sort of problem your talking about. What do you mean by big icons in the taskbar? Do you really mean the Start Panel? It would help if you could upload a screen shot of the Icons you mean. If it is the Start Panel, then simply right click on the taskbar and choose properties. Next, choose Start menu and then Customize. On the general tab you can select small icons and this will reduce the size of program icons on the Start Panel. If you are referring to the

Reply to Fonts in WindowBlinds5 in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Try saving your Font settings in the regular Windows Display settings as a Theme. After you change Blinds open up your Display Setting and reload your Theme. Keep in mind doing this will also change the Wallpaper. With a bit of work you can organize your wallpapers and use a program like Wallpaper Exchange to get the exact background wallpaper you want. This will solve most of the problems of resetting your font sizes. Any additional font size settings you make in Window Blinds are automatic

Need a little more info. Like What kind of themes? I'm assuming these are Window Blinds themes. If that's the case look in your task bar for an icon that looks like a painters pallette. Right click on it and select configure WindowBlinds. Scroll to the left. The first 2 chioces are Windows Classic and Windows XP style. Select either one and apply. Close the configure window. If this works, right click the icon for WindowBlinds one more time and this time select Unload WindowBlinds. Thi

Reply to Systray Revisited in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Have you tried reverting to plain XP. That is, don't let WB5 load, if it does select Windows Classic then unload WB5 and reboot. If your systray is restored (this can often work for me) manually restart WB5 at this point. You should then also get a startup manager of some type that will allow you to visually check which programs load at starup and of course a registry cleaner. These will enable you to find the culprit software that is causing the conflict and stop it from loading. I've used

The only time I've had any problems with DX objects and/or widgets no longer working, its been because of a cache corruption problem. As CorkyO pointed out awhile back clearing the cache fixes these sorts of problems when they occur.

I don't know what program winXP manager is, but it sounds like you need a good virus scan software. I use Norton 2006 by Symantec. Other people use different products. In any case, you need to get a good virus scan software installed on your PC, read up on how to use them, and follow through. I always have my firewall running, whenever I'm online I have my Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security products running. I also do a full system scan once a week. Stopped infesta

Icon Developer & Icon Packager in IconPackager WinCustomize Forums

I'm trying out recoloring an Icon Package for my own personal use and will also probably include in a screenshot. But, although I have successfully recolored the icons, I can't seem to figure out how to complete the task. The large Icon Library is in the folder, but the folder is missing an IconPackager Theme file. I'm probably missing a needed step somwhere. I used the Batch Processing capacity of Icon Developer to do the recoloring. What else do I need to do? Thanks for your assistance.

I've thought about this a litle more and finally took a look at your link doh! The only other things I can think of is I think what you want to do would be awhole lot easier if they had an RSS feed. The other idea is there are ActiveX objects available in DesktopX and you need to consider using an ActiveX Browser object to display the whole page.

Reply to Show/Hide Destop Icons via script in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

There's two ways to solve this problem. If you can use DesktopX objects as pseudo Desktop Icons then the answer is straight forward and can be learned by studying how popup buttons work and how grouped objects can be made visible(pop-up all together) from a single button. Minimalism by gef has such a button that works in that fashion. If you want the real Desktop Icons to do this in DesktopX the answer is not directly. This is because Desktop Icons being visible is a configured property from

Sounds like all you need to do is check the Object.Top, Object.Left, Object.Right, etc corrdinates in your ondrag and your OnL/RButtonUp script. For example If Object.Top > 189 and Object.Top 289 and Object.Left < 201 then VBScript statemnts doing fades and calling other functions, etc end if.

Why not just use mouseover and mouse away states directly? And different images depending on the object state. These objects can be invisisble completely until you click your central Icon. Make these objects a group and have them be popups. You can yuse an animation sequence to create the fade effect.

Reply to DX - Empty recyclebin in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

whitedragon33 what Murex says is correct. The best I've found is to create an object. Give it object type shortcut and set the location just below to Start Menu. Drop down and add additional abilities Trash bin using custom states. You can then have an empty and full state trash bin anywhere on your Desktop, once you also assign the appropriate Icons on the states tab (by selecting image and browse). I customize many of my downloaded DX themes with this and it works. You can also ma

Hi there rkk03. I'm not a skinner so I have no real experience to evaluate learning how to skin. I'm no graphic artist either. When I first looked into your post on 7/9 I noticed it had been sitting there since 7/1. I realize the 7/4 holiday was on, but I felt like if I commented the way I did, it would stir up a response looks like it worked. I'm sure you also kept looking yourself.
