Reply to Rotational Volume Dial in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Crikey I tried that one ages ago... I failed mind but it would be pretty cool if we found a script that worked.. I use Mouse Over interaction for my volume controls..

I don't really know whats happening in regards to objects moving or disappearing but... I do know about keeping certain objects hidden when not needed.. I usually do this with Text object used for tooltips.. see below for the script: 'This script is in the object you mouse over...

Also in regards to "ToolTips" I usually have only one tooltip label of sorts that stays invisible until an object is highlighted/hovered over then it just says what its for... then fades away thats my tooltip hehe

Lo Po' That wallpaper in KHDragon is the f**kin Bomb... Anyway.. what I usually have in the desktops I make are the following 3: 1. DXPlayer Controls (mainly WinAmp based) which includes: - Clip Name (Track title) - Basic Controls (Play, Pause, Next, Previous, etc) - Volume Controls 2. Common Programs - which are just shortcuts to open my most used programs (i.e. Fireworks, MSN, Blender) 3. Internet - sometimes a custom browser, but always a Quick

A Sweet Feeling of Accomplishment in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

In process of making a "minimalist" theme.. had the idea to put the currently playing track on screen.. but some titles were too long.. So I decided to attempt something I've never done before! A scrolling display! How was it done? Read on... 1. Make a base image i.e. 2. Make a 2nd image i.e. 3. Make a text object and assign it the DXPlayer ability - Clip

Depending on certain settings.. any themes you load using DesktopX either include a Taskbar, System Tray and or Start button in any shape or form.. if you're stuck getting to the Start menu press the Windows key (usually between Ctrl and Alt on left side of keyboard) To shut down your laptop press the Windows key and U I've a laptop with the same res and had no problems at all... but then again not every machine is the same.. there'll be an answer somewhere

Reply to x64 Windows XP and DesktopX Systray in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Errm It may have something to do with the fact that DesktopX is a 32-bit app but not sure... My processor is x64 but I'm running 32bit OS and I've had no problems with Taskbar or SysTray so far I believe in x64 version of Windows you can set programs to run explicitly as 32bit progs.. but really any 32bit program should run fine on an x64 OS.. I'd check Stardock documentation see if there is any known issues

I can't imagine a scenario that would involve 10 timers for a single object hehe.. I might do that just to see what happened....

Tick Tock Tick Tock.... in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Ok, I don't know if anyone has realised this or not but... The DesktopX Guide by Stardock displays Timers with 3 digits at the end as identifiers.. So everyone sets Timers as Timer100, Timer200 etc etc.. Me? Nope I've used Timer1, Timer2, Timer3, etc etc and I've had no problems. So less typing for you. Just something to bring to your attention if you hadn't realised already.

Reply to Scripting Counters in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

OK using Performance Meters plug-in: You need 2 images, 1 for the Filled Area 1 for the Unfilled (Background) then in the Second tab (I forget the label) select which counter you would like to use this ranges from Processor load, Bandwidth (In and Out). Otherwise you can use WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to gather specific system details in Text form.. More info when I get on laptop and have some code at hand.. Be patient! Basically you can open a scripting window for an Object and se

Hey I like the concept.. not sure if I can get it but I like it? Lemme get it right.. There's an Icon center screen, you want to be able to drag that icon to different icons on the screen that represent different categories (Progs,Media,Internet, etc) once the icon is place on the Category icon it opens a window (or some such) with different components for it?

Ok So I'm making an MP3 controller in DesktopX.. I decide to use MouseOver interaction for the Volume control (MouseOver "+" Volume goes up, MouseOver "-" Volume goes down).. And this is what happened and I swear I'm not making this up.. When I set the Volume to go up by 1 each time it only gets to 16% Volume (If I use another method to turn up the volume and try again it goes to 36% and so forth), but it work fines if I'm taking 1 each time.. Here's the code: :: This is for the "-" con

Reply to Scripting for Balloon Pop ups and Alerts in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

The MSN one is a good question.. unfortunately I've been unable (as yet) to find a way to get the name of a Window that is asking for attention ("flashing")... But in answer to your first question.. You can either Just drag your Windows Taskbar (unload DesktopX) to the left edge of your screen or.. You can disable Balloon tips completely with a registry tweak (or so I'm led to believe..) You can do this with a DesktopX object too! Sub Object_OnScriptEnter On Error Resume Next <b

Or 2nd Suggestion... using OnMouseLeave sub have it set a timer that will wait for say 2 seconds after the mouse has moved off the object and then hide it... Code would be similar to....
