wbload.exe is coming back, or the SysTray, err, system notification area icon is coming back? CaptainWin, for the time being you can put a shortcut to wbconfig.exe in your quicklaunch or wherever you like shortcuts to be. This won't have the right-click options, but will get you to the panel.

I use FWMX2k4 a lot. Some skins, in the past, have looked just terrible on Fireworks, but lately I have had no problem. Certain parts just don't get skinned, it seems, like the title bars for the panels. Is this what you are referring to? I have noticed this, but with most windowblinds it is OK. It'd be cool if macromedia products were fully skinned, but I thin
I like guessing which warnings are lawyers being careful and proactive, and which were inspired by actual morons...I'm thinking the hair drying while asleep and ironing of clothes being worn stem from actual incidents.
IconX will also show thumbnails of images (or direct shortcuts to) put on the desktop, if that is what t3hj03 meant.
I have posted a couple screenshots which coincidentally have docks similar to those suggested by Lantec. But I usually change the icons, because I find the defaults look poor at any size. Otherwise, my OD SysTray has been fantastic, no probs. Anyway, in both shots the SysTray dock is in the lower right, where you may expect. This one shows a zoomer (regular) dock as a SysTray: http://rabidrobot.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinI
That is, the ability to create a hotkey which will hide a gadget exists, but the gadget author must set it up themselves; it's not a default option as when exported as a widget.
I think the SysTray icon referred to in the readme is for WindowBlinds itself, not other windows or apps that may be minimized to the SysTray. Personally, I like the "feature" of not having a WB SysTray icon.
About time! Good for you, JJ!
I think you're right, Skarnivorous. Cascading parents/owners is probably the only way right now to ensure what stays on top of what. But actually making objects children would mean the entire graphic of the child would have to be contained in the parent.
thomassen is right, puts it much more clearly than I did. I'd only add that you may want to UCase() the extension once you've split it off, and compare it to a upper case extension. I mean, ucase(theFileExtension) = ".MP3" will accept *.mp3 files and *.MP3 files. I also wanted to stress that in my experience there is a null char at the end when only one file is dropped. Perhaps this is not intended and a DX bug, but for now, if you <br/
About time! good for you, SD!

Here is a thread: https://www.wincustomize.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=176&AID=82506#657768 Make a folder containing only the shortcuts to the commands you want, then set the object dock flyout to that folder. So, create a folder, named whatever. In that folder create a new shortcut (right click->New->Shortcut) . When it asks for the location enter (include quotes). "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe" -r Then n
Accessing this thread from WinCustomize and I cannot see comments #1, 3, or 4, which sound really interesting... EDIT: Also don't see comments 7 through 11!!
Hi there. I used this very technique in my Hardest Button to Button: http://rabidrobot.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=579&LibID=34&comments=1 Essentially you'll need to use some string manipulation functions to find the file's extension, then compare it with the acceptable extensions. Import my widget and you'll get the idea. There may be one thing you find odd, though, so I'll try to explain from memory what was happening. When
Second Meowy before I go try it myself.
I too have had this happen. It has only happened to me a couple times, but after the first time I became much more redundant in saving methods. I haven't been able to reproduce it, but it is such a massive failure and potential loss that I haven't tried too hard to reproduce it either. I now export frequently and any script of any complexity or length gets pasted into ObjectEdit (notepad) and saved from there as well. Barring
Look here for some hints: http://www.phdcc.com/shellrun/autorun.htm Right at the top it mentions putting icon=xyxyxy.ico in your autorun.inf Then later it says more.... # You can provide an icon for the CD drive in My Computer by adding a line that set the icon command to an .ICO file. # You can se
I think the whole export process / dialogue could be streamlined. Storing of previous value sets would be a great additional feature.
The Aura WB looks great. Looking forward to trying it out.
Right on! And many more... /runs off to check join date.
I always figured *.ico's go in the Misc Icon gallery, and *.pngs go in the ObjectDock gallery - and if you're nice you'll include both in the file but upload to only one gallery (I choose the OD gallery myself). I hear you on the package deal, though. Even if there isn't a full IconPackager set, a skinner could conglomerate some images. A Start panel set, say, instead of a My Pc icon, a Search icon, a Network Places icon... you get the id
Virtual pets eat free! What were we talking about? Oh yes, Suzy's screenie. I can't see it, I get an error. (Assuming the one in her list is the one that was rejected but now "fixed"). The only reason besides offensive material that I've heard for a screenshot not being accepted is when the wallpaper is not obstructed enough. It would be nice to know not only what is frowned upon in screenshots, but also what qualiti
Change is good, and I am always impressed with the communication by Stardock and WinCustomize. Letting us know what to expect, and why, makes us feel part of the loop, involved, and respected. It'll be neat to watch the drive progress, another stat to check.
The object you define as the close button should be grouped into the widget group with any other objects that will be exported with the widget, as a rule. Also, the close button object won't work unless the project is exported and running as a widget or gadget.
