Going for a trip down GUI memory lane in Websites WinCustomize Forums

I came across this website today with an extensive collection of various graphical user interfaces from various Operating Systems dating back to the learly 80's. The site is very nicely organized, making it very easy to find spesific information about whatever system you are looking for. You can find anything from, startup screens to shutdown screens, even sounds can be sampled. If you are looking for good images to create nostalgic skins/them

Yes, they are making it in the hope that it will decrease the amount of security vulnerable computers. Computers with out of date security isn't just a threat and annoyance to the owers of the computer, but everyone else connected to that computer, such as through the internet.

Not quite but close. I live in Denmark I'm from Norway. Though, I'm in England at the moment for my studies. Have WC considered going from HTML tagsoup to pure HTML+CSS? I'd think it'd be easier to maintain...<

Is that skinning in the XP style? Or have you managed to skin the Aero style? (I know Aero wasn't properly implemented in the latest WinHEC build...)

I ordered a glass of Margarita, the bartender said something in spanish, I nodded not understanding a word, assuming he repeated what I said in spanish,.. he gave me a whole jug of the stuff...

Yes, Virtual Plastic should like that. On the framework note: with Longhorn .NET 2 frameework will be preinstalled, so people won't have to download the large download.

Reply to Object_OnMouseEnterEx sub doesn't work... in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Right, I had a look at your object. The reason why nothing happends is that the *Ex function gets tha messages from the child objects of the objects containing the script. In your widget you got an object named "scripts" to handle the scripting. However, none of your other objects passess any messages on to the "scripts" object because none of them is set as child to it. Select your other object, right-click, go "Set Parent" then select "scripts".

Ah, yes it does exist. Even in the documentation. Hm.. Didn't notice that.

Ok, the -a*(x-b)/(x+a) function works perfect. However I have two different functions now. Is there any way that the -a*(x-b)/(x+a) function can be adapted to create a curve like the red one? I feel I got better control over the curve with this last function.

For what program? There are several programs in the ODNT suite that let you create viritual desktops.

Reply to Object_OnMouseEnterEx sub doesn't work... in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Of course, you have to add the check for what object calls the event.

Reply to Object_OnMouseEnterEx sub doesn't work... in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

The reason why it doesn't work is because there is not event availibe in DX for that. Yes I know, annoying isn't it? But the workaround isn't all that bad or hard: Sub Object_OnStateChangeEx(state) If state = "Mouse over" Then &nbsp

Reply to Could Wincustomize have a Blog Template Category? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've allways been changing the design of my website. I spend more time on that than the actual content. Not sure about the blog template category though. Suppose it sort of is skinning, I think this site is more dedicated to software skinning as oppose to webpage related skinning.

So, does it create an actual desktop icon, or does it emulate an icon by overlaying an picture on your desktop?

Reply to DestopX and Control Center in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

If you are a ODNT subsriber you can try their new beta version of Viritual Desktops 2. You install it and then add it to your Windows Taskbar by rightclicking the taskbar then choose Toolbars -> Stardock Viritual Desktops. It seemed to maintain the DX objects visible as you changes desktop. At least with the build I had installed. I just updated it as I type this. Have to restart.
