Reply to Does Wincustomize need a make over? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

May I point out that if the website separated the look into a CSS file and left the HTML semantic by using HTML 4.01 strict or XHTML instead of the current tagsoup it would save some bandwidth. As it is currently, this webstie rely heavily on tables, something that quickly adds excess code. Remember how much traffic this site attracts, it quickly adds up. If the look of the site where put into a CSS file it'd not only be less content in the HTML file,

In any case. You need to reinstall you soundcard drivers. If you have a builtin soundcard in your motherboard then you should be able to download audio drivers from the motherboards website, or any CD included wiht you PC perhaps. If you have a separate soundcard reinstall the drivers provided by the manufacturer of the soundcard.

Sound very odd because Windowblinds doesn't have anything to do with audio. Are you sure you didn't do anything else?

Windowblinds should be 64 bit compatible now. Not sure about Control Center, it have been worked into Objectbar instead, not sure about that one.

Ah. So that's why for instance "World War II: Frontline Command" is listed on SDC... I was wondering about that. I could swear that I didn't see anything about Stardock on the box I got. ...though, I tried the serialkey I got when I bought it to see if it worked, but no. I suppose it's a different one?

I think this one would benefit Stardock on two fronts... "Get rid of GDI altogether and implement a simple 3D windowing subsystem API and framework." To elaborate the above suggestion, make drawing desktops accelerated using direct 3D hardware calls similar and akin to what OS X does in their desktop. Copying ideas?

The only BBCode like codes it supports is the ones you get when you click the buttons above the reply field. Otherwise it's mostly HTML tagsoup. *shivers*

SATYROBE: Yes I got the message. I tried to reply, but WC apparently was too busy to handle my comment. Thanks though. As Tarkus said, dedicated mulitmedia buttons would be nice. I frequently use the mm-buttons and volumewheel on my Logitech keyboard. I wouldn't have much problem giving up my wireless keyboard for this one. Though I sometimes like to take it with me where I sit in the room to control the music as I use my computer

Reply to new to DesktopX HI! in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I think there should just be one format. Why? It's two different things. A widget is a complete application. Objects could be just a component. For instance, I made a textobject for DX. It's no use for it as a widget, it wouldn't do much except let you type.

Ok, I now know the crash was related to using the non-standard language file. But I have found something else. I was trying to play around with Controller scripts, but it doesn't seem to work. I took the example code from the documentations: Sub Object_OnScriptEnter DesktopX.RegisterController Object.Name End Sub Function OnControl(lType, lCode) 'added this code my self -
