Hello, In some visual styles I've imported into SkinStudio, the common task panel (that is in Explorer, Configuration panel, etc.) is horizontal, and is displayed just behind the address bar, whereas in my skin it's vertical, and it's on the left side of the window. How can I move it to go there ? Thanx in advance for your help. Regards, Fix

Yes, Gef skins for DesktopX are coooool... but I think they could be even cooler (and more people like me would skin more for DX) if the DesktopX developpement wasn't so slooooow.
What is important from my point of view is having good skins, so I so no reason why they could not participate. Let them in !
I'd vote for Vista themes (any software), DesktopX themes and DesktopX widgets.
No no no... I won't do it, since obviously it shouldn't work : I just wanted to know if someone had heard about a special way to install it so that it can work on a USB key, since it won't work if I install it in the normal way of course. Who knows...
I'm working in a school, so... I'm afraid it will be very hard. I was asking the question just because I remember having read a message from someone saying he was using DX from his USB key... I don't know when / where it was though, a search with "usb" returns nothing on the forums
Hello, I'd like to use my DesktopX theme at work. So I was wondering if it was possible to install DesktopX on my USB key, since I can't install anything on the computers we have at work. Do I have to install SDCentral on the USB key before DesktopX ? Thanx in advance, Best regards, Fix
Maybe a poll would be a great idea I'd vote for a DX widget contest.
Wow, thank you very much thomassen. At least you've learnt something too
Sorry but I don't understand what you mean : since DX 3.0, the Sub Object_OnMouseEnterEx(Obj) exists (event if it's not documented yet). For example, Tiggz (I'm a faaaaaaaaaan, but he, I'm not the only one, right ?) uses it in his last OMNI objects (dual weather, for example). So what am I doing wrong ? Thanx very much.
Sorry, please read : If DesktopX.Object("Update_" & ObjNum).State = "away" Then etc... By the way, shouldn't DesktopX.Object("Obj.Name).State = "away" work too ? Or simply Obj.State ? I've tried all I can think of, but nothing works... Please help me ! Thanx.
Hello ! I've created several objects. One of them contains a script that should control all the other objects. The name of the other objects is "Update_1", "Update_2", "Update_3", etc. The following script just doesn't do anything, and I can't understand why : 'OnMouseEnter subs Sub Object_OnMouseEnterEx(Obj) If InStr(Obj.Name,"Update") <> 0 Then ObjNum = Right(Obj.Name,1) If DesktopX.Object("Update_" & ObjNum) = "
I've emailed [email protected] twice about this problem. Alberto himself, a few months ago, said he'd look at it, but I never had any answer about wether the problem was lokked at or if it was too much work for nothing or any other reason
I never had any answer about this problem
Hello, I've mentioned this problem several times months ago, but now that DX3 is 5 days away, I hope stg is doable about it : with the actual DX versions (including DX 2.99 available today on SDC), you can create a bar using the .AppbarMode code. Now let's say your bar is attached to the left edge of your screen. If you want to offer the ability to change the side of your bar, you'll create an object to do so. But
I don't know if this is doable, but I'd really appreciate to be able to set DXPlayer as my default player, so that when I click on any media file, it opens directly using my widget. So I would need a script function able to detect when the player is fired or not... I hope you'll have your visa very soon GreenReaper, you have so much work to do Good luck for yo
Hello, Here are the bugs (all of them have been reported) that are really anoying for me when building my themes : 1. Object.SetFocus has no effect in a DesktopX textbox activex control... 2. Each time the Object.BarMode is set to be always visible, if the bar is on the left of the screen, all the other objects on the desktop are moved to the right... 3. The Object_OnDropFiles(files) sub does not recognize urls from any
Sorry, this was supposed to be posted on the new DesktopX forums, not here

Hmmmmmm. I can't edit my message ("you're not authorized to view this page" ) Just one more thing : since there are online TVs available on the net, «radio» should be «radio OR TV», don't you think so ?
Very good work Martin. Thanx very much for it. As far as the shortcuts are concerned, I'd rather «type» as being URL, application, folder, or special folder this way, we'd be able to easily script them : if it's a folder and you click on it for more than 2 seconds, then it opens the Browse folder dialog, so that you can change the folder target... Does this make sense ? Then we should have a «type» info for each shortcut PLUS a «category» info (graphics, office, ...)
Please read *shortcut*, not *shorcut*. Thanx.
Definitely a good idea. From my point of view, what would be needed is : - Shorcuts (shorcut 1, url / target of the shorcut 1 shorcut 2, url / target of the shorcut 2 ...) (eg. Wincustomize, https://www.wincustomize.com Word, Winword.exe etc.) - Weather settings (location (eg. FRXX0145) measurement units etc) - Media Player settings (volume (eg. from 1 to 100) radio names and urls (eg. CNN, http://www.cnn.asx)) - Time zone - Language (is this doable ?) T
Will DX Pro let a user make an exe with SEVERAL objects in it ? Or will you have to create as many exe as objects that you want to use ? That is, can you, for example, convert a THEME into a SINGLE exe, or do you need one exe for each object of the theme ? I think that's a big point to consider too...
Martin has realised (once more...) an incredible work with his Purple Glass theme for DesktopX. I've had a discussion with him, and he said he'd be happy to make a french version of his News objects for Purple Glass... but after many searches, I haven't been able to find XML news resources in french. So does anyone know an on-line newspaper that would provide its news in an XML format ??? Thank you very much, Best regards, Fix
