Reply to DsktopX widgets wont stay put in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I think widgets are supposed to remember their location but in my case it doesnt seem to work. I have been adding scripted support for position remembering as a workaround for this issue on the widgets I have been making lately. Hopefully Stardock can implement this feature properly in a future update, until then it is up to the widget author's to provide a solution on a per-widget basis.

Reply to Is the windows enhancement community ready for heavy graphic skins? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

pjpowell: yeah that looks really amazing I have to admit. As you mentioned in your earlier post, I think learning to use a 3D program effectively takes alot more time than I have so far invested in it. And I also agree it is probably one of the best ways to create effective animation (of a certain type). Whilst the image you post could be done relatively simply, albeit not quite so realistically perhaps, in photoshop, to make a believable animation a 3D proggie must have the advantage. Oh we

hehe, I knew you knew that I think maybe when you render a scene in 3DSmax you can render a mask layer as well. One of the most important elements in creating the illusion of depth, or height, is creating realistic looking shadows. Which kind of stumps me in those 3D proggies because to render a shadow you have to render it against a surface, whereas what you really want to do is render it against,

It will of course depend on what type of weather is being shown in the little window - but regardless, when the postal is covered up by a window, cpu useage should be at a minimum, with only the audio impacting on it to any degree.

is it the issue I heard about where if you have SP2 installed, windows downloads the *.dxtheme file and renames it to *.zip? if the file you are downloading has a *.zip extension, try renaming it to *.dxtheme and see if that installs when you double click it

Reply to Need some DesktopX scripting Help in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

to change the hue on all states of an object use the following code: DesktopX.Object.("myobject").States("").Hue = 158 if you can't get the array deal to work then just change each objects' hue one by one rather than loop thru them [Message Edited]

Reply to Need some DesktopX scripting Help in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

you could try adding the following code at the top of your script: Dim theobjects theobjects=Array("obj1","obj2","obj3") where obj1, obj2 etc are the names of the objects whose hue you wish to change then later on in the script, just after where you're adjusting the hue of the object add the following code: For x = 0 to UBound(theobjects) desktopx.object(theobject(x)).hue=thehuevalue Next where thehuevalue is, you've guessed it, the value

Reply to Whats happening to OB?! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

OB is far from being obsolete, for me it's one of the best program launchers there is - way more adaptable and versatile than anything else. (I use OB every day and I don't use it to skin my taskbar, startmenu or my desktop righ click menu - it's uses go way beyond those gimmicks ) I would guess there aren't many new themes because alot of author's are probably waiting for OB 2 to be released - that'

Skryme - yes! The script uses a vbscript command called "invokeverb" which fires the relevant command on the context menu of a ed item. So...for example, the options you say don't work, are executed with the following lines of code: objFolderItem.InvokeVerbEx("Empty Recycle &Bin") objFolderItem.InvokeVerbEx("&Open") objFolderItem.InvokeVerbEx("P&roperties") if you look in the brackets, that text you see there mirrors the command on the recycle bin right cli

what version of desktopx are you using and what OS? also, another thought...what language version is your OS? This is the most probable cause for it not working (ie: if you aren't using an English language version). If this is the case could you email me so I can ask you some questions?

Skryme, go into the configuration for that theme, then look at the textual information section. About line 26, Weather - temperature....on the right there is an input box labelled "format" - change the F to C
