Okay, updated version. BETA 1.1 DOWNLOAD LINK Updates: - Fixes to recognize files with (.) in their base names - Fixes to delete items that have been moved or otherwise gone missing. - Fixes to rename menu - Fixes to facilitate drag and drop files with identical names - Added menu refresh button (click on the menu name text object to refresh)
[quote]yeah it works till I'm trying rename the new bar.. then dx crashes.. on builder mode too[/quote] I'm seeing some odd bugs there, too. I'll try to iron it out by tomorrow.

What exactly did the error say? (copy & paste it here) If it can't find the xml file then your xml file has been moved or otherwise gone missing. While testing, I usually use a spare xml file that I place on my desktop. That way I can easily check the file frequently to see if the operation worked, or if something went wrong. Make sure to check your xml file after each application of the script to see if the operation has already been successfully executed.

Hmm. The first menu that loads by default is everything from your desktop. I have a hunch what it might be...do any of the shortcuts, specifically folders, on your desktop have period in their file names? This caused an error in a different project I once worked on and it might be the same catch22 here. When you create a new menu, it will be blank, save for the My Computer shortcut. To restore the previous menu click on the menu options icon and choose it from the list. T

Ah, ok. Line 7 of the code looks like this: parsecontent = extractInfo(getcontent," "," "&vbcrlf) Yours should look like this: parsecontent = extractInfo(getcontent," "&vbcrlf) Leave out the "prmo"> because that will cause the error you're referring to. This should remove the ad section and rewrite the file without it.
Thank you, Jim. [e digicons]|-)[/e] Always a pleasure to help out where I can.

It's beta testing day! I think I got all of the kinks worked out, but please let me know if there's anything screwy going on with the theme. There's a screenshot with all the specs included in the zip. BETA DOWNLOAD LINK (fyi, the site now has a 30 second wait for the dl for some reason. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e] )

Don't care for them, myself, and I don't include them. I never have speakers on unless I'm playing a video or music.

Another month has passed and so I bring you another edition of "I Love DesktopX." Community Spotlight is coming up next month, and this time I thought I'd include a few questions from you guys. Our interviewee is none other than Master Vad_M! So, you've got all month to come up with some good questions for him on DesktopX and the world of widget-making, and get them to
Interesting. I just binged my username. In the hover results next to my main page, it shows the last comment in my no longer available comments section.
On the Recent Post page, when I try to click on the Go to Last Read Reply arrow, the icon shifts back and forth, making it difficult to click on. Anyone else noticed this?

Congrats to all the authors! We've got ourselves a really cool TWiS icon. [e digicons]B)[/e]
This is just a quickie file parser code. It'll retrieve the unwanted section, erase it, and rewrite the file. Just put in your file path and section tags. You might want to test this on another xml file first, before you rewrite your actual xml file...just to see if it works. [code="vbscript"] Dim xmlfile xmlfile = object.Directory & "hi.xml" '--YOUR XML FILE HERE 'Called when the script is executed Sub Object_OnScriptEnter get
What XML file are you using? Where from? I think you should be able to parse out the unwanted info and then rewrite the file.
Thanks everyone! Several frustrating bugs and a few crashes later, and we're coming in the home stretch, now! We've got color options (I couldn't limit myself to just one color...even if it was my favorite. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ) There's 9 color mutations, something for everyone. I'll be uploading the wallpaper pack separately, otherwise it'll be one HUGE theme file. Don't think I'll do the black version, after all. The custom icon total comes to 12:
[quote] as soon as another sound on the machine is activated, the ticking stops.[/quote] What sounds in particular? Windows sounds? Make sure you set it to 'async sound loop' so it's continuous. I set up an object with a looped sound and none of my Windows sounds interfered, not even media player. The only thing that stops a looped sound, for me, is another DX object that has sound; only one object in a theme/widget/gadget can play sound at a time. In
