Link to the wiki will be added. Not sure if I'll be able to cache that. Will have to see.

nope! it has updated itself as well since I posted this. and it still appears like this when I click the Discussion tab.
It is currently sunny & 12 degrees C in London, United Kingdom Really? There was run today? ah yes. on mouseover for tabbed docks its currently not possible. if i can think of a low-impact way to make it possible that'll be enabled on tabs too. hrm. I'm personally not that interested in the mouseover action. But the flyout clicks are more interesting.
Not in terms of WB. But got a little something brewing in DX that'll be quite different from you everyday weather and clock gadget.
Be aware the tutorials images are going to be moving, so you might want to hold for a few weeks? Don't worry. I'm not updating the widget just now. Just trying to prepare things.
Good. It's very annoying that MS removed the feature to change filetype's icons in Vista.
didn't know that came out on mouse over. I just had a look at the settings and that option is disabled to me. Maybe cause it's in a tabbed dock? I think the click to stick option sounds good. Because then the user have made a deliberate action to activate it and perform further actions. And more flyouts = good! I love the flyouts. Only thing is if the item that's the source of the flyout is at the corner of the screen and the flyouts go outside the monitor area. Like the Folder
Couldn't find anything there that let me hook up DX to MSN Messenger.
This gadget got nice clean code and interacts well with MSN: http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=5f6450f8-8876-4a81-a32b-46eac16fd69f&l=1 Want to make DX be able to do the same thing.
I'm using Windows Firewall and there's a Router Firewall...
I had a look at some of the Sidebar gadgets and noticed there was a few that displayed the MSN messenger contacts. Looking at the source I found that they all created an OBJECT element with classid clsid:B69003B3-C55E-4B48-836C-BC5946FC3B28 something like: Now, this got me thinking. Can this be referenced in a DesktopX object? Went though the list of ActiveX controls, but couldn't find anything. Anyone else got an idea of how we can reference the same object
Just had a though: It'd be nice to be able to click the flyouts from the weather docklet which would bring you to a webpage with more details for that selected day.
hm... "London, United Kingdom" worked now. Didn't yesterday... go figure.... United Kingdom it is then!
thomassen: alright, i got the inspiration to do it fixed for the next refresh that we have which should be sometime probably start of/early next week. added lightweight code to detect if an icon has been crappified by explorer and if so it loads the regular size version. no more mini-icons Love you man! I'm trying to get weather info for London. But I can't get
I thinking of maybe try to update my Matrix screensaver. Seeing that it requires allot of text rendering which becomes really heavy on large monitors or multiple monitors. I was wondering if I can get it to speed up by using DirectX to render the text. I've been looking for simple examples on the net, but I only seem to come across game examples which include allot extra. Can anyone provide an example, or link to one, on how to render text in C# with DirectX. I've never don
Or at least all icons which doesn't support the size of the dock.
Do you mind if I convert your tutorials to a format similar to the DesktopX manual so I can implement them into my Script Manual gadget? It'd be allot easier and better if I could streamline them into the same format. Cache pages from complex sites like WC isn't easy. As well as it's brings on a lot of extra clutter not needed.
My games tab is the best example of the tiny looking icons. By the looks of it it's all icons that doesn't got a size over 32x32.
never mind. posted in the wrong thread. ...too many tabs open....
Icons which doesn't have large sizes end up tiny with a square box around it. This is running Vista. Vista display that kind of icons when a file doesn't provide an icon in big enough size. But it appears that OD+ now uses that icon itself instead of stretching it up like it used to. Makes the icons nearly impossible to read. I know I can replace the icons, but I'd prefer to have it the way it used to so I wouldn't need to replace them.

what about the mic? these two ports would be useful for when I Skype. much easier to plug in the headset and mic in the front panel than having to crawl to the back on the comp and unplug my speaker system.
doesn't seem like anyone knows really. one of the big mysteries of WC.
I got a new computer recently. Got everything plugged in and set up. .. Nearly everything. I can't for the love of sanity work out how to connect the front panel audio port of the case to the motherboard. This is the case connectors: This is the motherboard connectors:
