That works.

Reply to A Problem With Object_OnMouseLeaveEx(obj) in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Ah, now I see what you mean. But I believe hyrax wanted the parent object to disappear OnMouseLeaveEx as well-not just the child objects. When you do that, OnMouseEnter the child objects = OnMouseLeave the parent object, and everything disappears. Like this: [code="vbscript"] Sub Object_OnMouseLeaveEx(obj) object.visible = False For Each elem In desktopx.GroupObjects("grpObj") If elem.visible=True Then elem.visible=False End If Next End

You're right, SirS, but it still triggers OnMouseLeaveEx when I interact with the child object. I've update my article with the For Each statement as that is much cleaner. (I've got to update my Script Helper now too!)

Reply to A Problem With Object_OnMouseLeaveEx(obj) in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

As far as I know OnMouseLeave only applies to one object. I had the same problem and created a work around script. It's a bit crude but it worked. Here's a link to the article- LINK

It really is up to the author of the DXtheme. As already noted, an author will make a theme for a specific resolution and that includes the placing and the sizing the objects in the theme. DX would have to know which objects to move or stretch. You can find resolution independant themes. Skarnivorous had an object (can't find it now) that would take a snapshot of your theme and save all positions etc of the objects. It would be a great tool to include where the author would sav

Imagine a CPU gadget that shows: 40% as the ICON in the tray????? Ir the current TEMP or weather condition, or hell, the phase of the moon. That'd be cool.

Reply to Creating/Allowing User Defined Icon in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Wouldn't this require finding the default icon's location and then replacing it? I have no idea where desktopX icons are stored. As I understand, sometimes icons are compiled in DLLs or EXEs so would that mean rewriting the file? I'm not even sure you can replace the icon for a program like you can with shortcuts.

Reply to Testers/Feedback on iReflector Gadget in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Yesterday I had problems with getting the Metallic Iron skin to apply. Then anytime I selected an item from the menu the second, default hide/close/about/preferences menu would appear. But when I unregistered the com object, deleted everything, and then started over from the zip it didn't have that problem anymore. However, today when I load the iReflector up again I can't get the custom r-click menu. All I get is the standard hide/close/about/preferences menu. Are you using th

Dropping it onto the regsvr.exe file worked! Thank you and thanks for this awesome gadget!

The r-click menu option worked, but I still get an error when I drop an image onto the widget. Something went wrong. This will only accept images as drag and drop files. I'll try to continue through. Detail: Object required.

I'm having some probs. "Drag'n'drop ImageMagickObject.dll onto RegSvr to register the com object" I did and I got this error: LoadLibrary("C:\Documents")failed - The specified module could not be found Then when I drag and drop a PNG image onto the first spot of the widget I get an error saying something went wrong and the widget only accepts images by drag and drop. What do I do now?

Congrats everybody! Awesome choices.

So class the lesson for the day is, when dynamically creating a right click menu one can't use a zero based array! Glad to hear you worked it out. I'll certainly keep this in mind in future.

Reply to [Help] Dynamically Create Right Click Menu Or Portion in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Thanks, SirS. I get all confused if I don't format my codes and comment the heck out of them. I feel embarrassed to show mine. But, but, if you don't, then who will I snag all these useful codes snippets from?! I always learn something new from studying your scripts. If you click the right click menu then don't click a menu item (ie. close the menu) for some reason it automatically calls/applies the firs

It could easily be setup to read the entire ini and all info at startup (or at a set interval in case of updates). Then read that into the menu. Yeah, that's what I was doing. I just wondered if there were any benefits to retreiving the info on r-click instead. This is the r-click code I used for it: [code="vbscript"] Function PopupMenu() Dim submenu Set mainmenu = nothing Set mainmenu = DesktopX.CreatePopupMenu

Reply to [Help] Dynamically Create Right Click Menu Or Portion in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

This is interesting. I was doing something like this for a skinnable clock. Wouldn't it be easier to retrieve all the information and set the arrays in a separate sub on startup and any time the information changes instead of in the r-click function?

Just watched the promo and it looks very practical. I think the only real benefit is instant sharing, which is big these days, I know. Their accounts aren't free either (except for the trial version). I already have a photo/video account & it'd be nice to be able to upload my stuff there. It does make the process alot quicker but as far as editing goes, the instant add-ons to screenshots like text, draw, and arrows can easily be done in mspaint, IMO. The instant video creatin

You need to make the background image another separate object. Then put the progress bar on top and group them. OR if you want to skin the bar itself you need 2 images: one for the fill space and one for the empty space. Change the drop downs to image and click the button next to it to browse for your image. Make sure to set the width and height of the bar.

The 1000 downloads you see on others profiles means they have downloaded 1000 skins from wincustomize. Its not really an ' award I'm pretty sure I haven't downloaded 1000 plus skins.
