Reply to Feeling left out in Community WinCustomize Forums

Xp Peasants LOL! I feel the same way. I've considered writing a VISTA gripe thread many times. Promotion of this great new OS and all the cool stuff that comes with it is understandable but lately I've been feeling a little railroaded by it. (What with Gates showing up on every channel) I understand that it is necessary but sometimes it gets a

Simulating Mouse Over/Mouse away via scripting in DesktopX Tutorials JoeUser Forums

On a couple of projects I’ve worked on I came across the problem of wanting to use OnMouseEnter to show several objects and interact with those several objects without triggering OnMouseLeave. Quite simply if you use OnMouseEnter / OnMouseLeave in one object and go and interact with another object it will trigger OnMouseLeave. While working on another proj

Reply to Muslims upset over portrayals of their people in War on Terror WinCustomize Forums

Real news should 'give you pause', true stories should 'give you pause', world events should 'give your pause', but a dramatic/action show on FOX 'gives you pause'? Scary. I'm a big fan of "24" and it is not a show for the weak minded (i.e. people who will go out an do something stupid because of something portrayed on tv, people who instantly form an opinion just because someone on tv 'said so', and basically anyone who can't think for themselves) Unfortunately, tv doesn't work that wa

Reply to Creating Clock Confusion in Beginners WinCustomize Forums

Hello Heir, since you've already got your artwork all done follow these steps: Create an object for each graphic (4 objects: second hand, minute hand, hour hand, clock face) Start with the clock face. Right click on one of the objects and open Properties > Summary and name your object (clock_face or whatever you want). Also in the summary tab set the Left and Top positions (lets say 200 left and 300 top). Go

Reply to Who are you? What do you want? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Who am I? I'm nobody. I'm anyone who's channeled their creativity into their unique avenue of self-expression in a world of dos, don'ts, cans and can'ts. There's alot of things I can't do or don't have the means to do. It's nice to find something you are good at and are always getting better at- more importantly something you enjoy. What do I want? I want what everyone wants; to acheive something beyond your expectations. There's alot of things I thought I couldn't do but you can check

Controlling Groups in DesktopX Tutorials JoeUser Forums

In this tutorial we’ll look at how to control groups through scripting, and how to control several objects as a group even if they are not grouped, and we’ll start by a brief look at how to control groups through object properties. Toggling a group of objects on and off (show/hide) through object properties is not hard. You just need to group your obj

Reply to The Ultimate DXTheme: What do you think is essential? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I think that a usable theme for the mass audieance has to be predicatable. Which means........it needs to work like one of the major (or even minor) OSs. I completely agree with this. Deciding on the design of the user interface for a DX theme is tricky. I want it to be uniquley stylish but I don't want it to be alien to the user; I don't w

Reply to Object x in Beginners WinCustomize Forums

You mean DesktopX? Import the widget in DesktopX Builder mode and right-click on the object. Open Properties > Relation. If you want it to be unclickable change 'activation' to none. Note that you will not be able to interact with the widget at all once this is done. Not sure if that's what you want. If you just want to make it so the widget cannot be moved then just change 'movement' to locked. It will still be clickable though. When you're done right click and export the object. <

Showing, Hiding Objects in DesktopX Tutorials JoeUser Forums

This is just really basic scripting know-how that I wanted to share before the next tutorial. Most of you probably know how already but every little bit helps, right? Oftentimes I’ll see someone asking how to show or hide an object in various ways. You can do this pretty well through object properties already. For the sake of being thorough I’ll demo
