Reply to Misc Icons Versus Objectdock Versus IconPackager in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

The biggest question here ladies and gentlemen, should be WHY are png's even allowed? ObjectDock will run just fine, in fact better than normal, using ico's instead of png's. ICO is a native Windows format, and this will operate better than any pngs. If an icon is properly made at higher resolutions, there should be no clarity problems at all, and therefore, no reason to use pngs. This just begs the question as to why there are any icons at all in the OD section now. Since Misc. Icons can h

Hmm, I see I have a small bug. Due to a caching problem in the XmlHttp object, I've had to randomize the URL that the feed goes to. I do that like this: url = "--xml feed here--" & "?" & Int(100000000*Rnd()) What this does is add a ?--random number-- to the end of the url everytime it retrieves it, hopefully removing the caching problem without having to deal with deleting caches etc.

The moderation ques are having some issues, I think. I have an updated gadget in moderation too, but its only been there for 24 hours, so I cant say whether there is a problem or not. However, I did note some wierd things when I updated it, so I've got those being looked into. As for moderation volunteers, all that is still being worked out. In time, I think there will be a moderation team, but right now its all internal Stardock staff, I

If you click on that bottom bar in SkinStudio, look on the right side for the section "Size of the Bottom Bar", where you can change the width of it. As for the username at the top, I cant really help you. I know its a sucker to get to work right, and I've never quite gotten it, but hopefully someone will swing by who can give you a hand.

Reply to For the site coders in Site Suggestions Stardock Forums

Another bit of trouble. Here in the forums, the "new post" icons just dont seem to go away for me no matter what I do. So far, I've read every thread on this site, but every single one has the "New Posts!" icon beside it. Kind of a funky bug... Hope its not just on my end...

All Gadgets are fully tested before they are approved. Moderation teams are still currently being established, so patience is key at this point. I know that the approval/rejection email system is experiencing hiccups, so notification is iffy. Your best bet is to be patient for a little while longer and see how things go.

Reply to Script Help in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Hypothetically, as long as you are signed into gmail, this widget works. It doesnt matter if you have a password or not, since 'intruders' can just go to gmail.com and they are already logged in. However, if you DO want to have that ability put into the widget, I can take a look for you and help you with the code.

HighCommand, what do you mean? As it is, it is more like the *scripts* are associated with the *graphics*, since the script is within each object. Sometime this week, I think I'll put together another tutorial. I like Murex's idea of the roll-up menu and fading text. I'm trying to think of the best way to do that, but I have some good ideas. OldHack, it sounds like you want to modif
