One thing that you missed is to ask for a scripting language Believe it or not, that is included in CXP 1.09! One of the things it does is to allow for better control of each frame in the animation. /me tries to use the script to add a multi-media player, but is worried that the controls will end up on the cursor itself. How would you click on such controls? <img src="http://images

Try irc.stardock.com (port 6667) at #Stardock. Good time to visit is during the US day-time or European evening. Skinners, users and Stardock developers meet on that small server. Alternatively, you should also visit CavNet at irc.thirty4.com (port 6667). You will find various irc channels of skin sites there. Maybe we will meet and chat for a while

Story line and docs in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I was given the opportunity to play with GalCiv (thanks for that!) and it looked promising. The graphics are well done. For some reason I missed the original OS/2 version ;) There are no online docs and there is no introduction. Therefor it is hard for me to figure out how to play it. I understand that the game is in development, but maybe help should get some attention. In a game I was working on we made an in-game interactive tutorial. It worked rather well. That even saves y

Reply to per brad: msstyle v uis skin format in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Another point is the WB basic skin format (UIS1+). This format is designed to skin apps that have trouble with regular WB skins. These are are not only faster, but have features like skinning minimized MDI windows and 15 border styles. The format is a subset of the regular WB format, but I doubt that it has less features than MS styles.

BTW, Feline: SDPlayer allows you to assign a hotkey to the viewer. Right click the SDPlayer icon in the system tray. Select Options. Select Viewer. Select Hotkey. In time there will be an easier to manage hotkey configuration. At least it works

Reply to desktopX animations on mp3 playback with SD player in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Currently there are no plans to do visualization stuff. We need to address other features first, like clip names showing on a DX object, the viewers title bar, the system tray icon and the taskbar button. Next thing we will implement are volume, pan, bass and treble controls (faders/sliders). More features are planned. I think it is not possible that third party software can do visualization stuff, without the help of SDPlayer.

Reply to Media player included with DesktopX 1.1 in WinCustomize News JoeUser Forums

On the news groups another user had problems with objects responding to double clicks too. I also have another object (not player related) which contains several buttons. Some of them are activated by single clicks and others by double clicks. I think this is a DX bug and have nothing to do with my player.

Feline: That is odd. The object on my machine works with single clicks. And if it does not respond then maybe the player has been moved. The player should be in the SDPlayer folder of Object Desktop. To reinstall (just for the security) terminate the player and double click SDPlayer.exe. DXPlayer should then be able to find it. MadIce you say? Never heard of him. Weird name, BTW.

Media player included with DesktopX 1.1 in WinCustomize News JoeUser Forums

DX 1.1 not only includes the new scripting facility, but also has a media player called StardockPlayer. Unlike other players it does not have its own skinning format. Instead it is skinned by DesktopX. Later on it can be skinned by ObjectBar and WindowBlinds too. The player supports variou
