Very interesting. Though, one of the quotes on their website seem a bit pointless: "I've been fiddling with a great program called Amnesty Generator; it enables you to add HTML content to you Windows Vista sidebar..." Just shows that whoever made the quote don't quite know what he's talking about since the vista gadgets are simply HTML + Javascript. Just like the Google gadgets. Just a different wrapping.
Came across this page with a few interesting UI design elements. I particulary liked the fisheye menu. Not sure how "innovative" the drag and drop is though. It's been around for a long time. Does people have link other similar things?
Just noticed an user comment on slashdot about computer AI: http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=228857&cid=18557545 Well, one of the greatest experiences (And still is), AI wise, is Stardocks XXXX-type space strategy game, Galactic Civilizations 2 [galciv2.com]. I especially like, when on easier levels, you do something, and the AI race sends a message "It seems that you are making a massive buildup for war. However, with this difficulty level, I pret
hm... maybe it was just the menus...
Yea. It's not an ideal position. Why not just make each star clickable without the dropdown menu?
How long after purchasing OD+ am I able to get updates? A year, like the ODNT, isn't it?
Evil wickedness you tease! meh wants. Dangerous to toss a bloody bone out for the wolves... auoooooooooooh!
I didn't, copy --> paste. hm... I wonder. do you use IE? does WC have a WYSIWYG editor for IE? Cause I can only paste plain text...
If you go to Control Panel\Performance Information and Tools, under the table is a "View and Print" link. That's what I used. I'm WAY too lazy to type that stuff out. how did you get the HTML code?
I think the awards are tossed around by pure random anyway. Just to make life interesting. Or keeping the masses occupied.... o_O *twilight zone music*
Though it said something like "All Your Skins Are Belong To Us" o_O
Anyone else seeing this? Or is it just my system? And what is it saying? Some Unicode issue?

I think I accidental hit the Discussion tab in SDC and it started to download files form the news server. However, the dialog window that popped up was a bit weird:
yea, awards are glitchy. sometimes claim I got top 1 download of sidebar and DX widgets even though I'm far from it. btw, does anyone know that the "Top 2 Veteran" stand for?
hm... Didn't the Arrow skin have shadow and reflectionmap? How was it done there?
Set the one you want to be at the bottom to be the parent of the one on top. If the top one should extend beyond the area of the bottom one then set the Child property to false.
Whoohoo! That's good news.
The big thing for me in this release is 64-bit applications. Is it? I thought they where waiting with that until the next release or something..
I'd have to get it. The quirks in CS2 on Vista is too annoying and I don't want to boot into XP just to overcome them.
No. not quite like a wiki. More like a website with a project management system.
I was going to propose a DesktopX community site. A place where people could upload tutorials. (With this I had the intention of integrating it to my DesktopX Script Manual gadget so it'd automaticly update a list of tutorials available. There are many good tutorials here at WC, but with the overhead of the site it'd make it more cluttered and harder to cache.

I'm planning to add categories for the next release and include links to external tutorials as well. Let me know if you know of any good ones besides those on WC.
