if anyone cares i have been detailing how to make the countdown gadget here IF anyone cares.
I have some more to do here.. I need to add some animated "flames" to the candles, and then do something unique on the actual birthday, not sure what. if ANYONE is reading any of this, please leave a comment.. i dont think anyone is, but i will continue for my own future sake.
Update, found a bug: [code="vbscript"] Function SetMode(Mode) Select Case Mode Case "Mini" desktopx.object("Birthday-CD-LargeBG").visible = False desktopx.object("Birthday-CD-MiniBG").visible = True Call SetINIValue("Mode","Mini") Case "Large" &nb
This one is going to have a lot fo code but I am not going to go over it all line by line. What I will do is to cover each function in basics. I will list ALL the new code here in one block, then go over each section one by one below it. [code="vbscript"] Dim BDate,BMonth,BDay '-- for INI FILE Dim IniName, IniCnt, IniTitle(100), IniDetails(100) Const ForWriting =2 : Const ForReading = 1 : Const ForAppending = 8 '--- End INI <br

checking.. dont see anything
Quick Update to the code that checks for the birthday. I added a simple function and check to see if the date selected was a "valid" date. So far this is all working in the USA, i dont know about other places yet. New code: [code="vbscript"] Function GetBDay() BdayToday = False testDate = BMonth &"/" & BDay &"/" & year(now) CheckDate = IsDate(testDate) If CheckDate <> True
Welcome back. I hope someone is getting something out of all this, thanks for the great comments. Moving on. In order to make this useable for everyone, and not just for ME (IE My Birthday!), we want to offer the user a way to change the birthday (Month/Day). To do this we want to add a button to the object that calls up a custom preferences window where the user can select the day/month for their birthday. One thing that we will be changing here to the origi
yep u r right
i was kidding all.. chill
will this thread EVER die?
thats the key or make the timer faster if that is too slow
Continuing the previous tutorial. If you look at the 2 images below you will see the 2 images we want to use for "Mini" and "Large". To keep everything in place and make life a LOT easier, i have made a very simple "box" image that is just a 5x5 pixel image that i make whatever size i want and then when im done, i make it transparent. This searves as the "parent" object for the differnet Modes of the gadget. In this case we have 2 main images, that we want to lin
Continuing the Birthday Countdown Gadget Tutorial. What we are going to do here is make some individual text items and place them so that they fit into our graphic. If you look at the image below you will see "Days/hrs/min/sec" Each has its own text object. The names are simple:
Part 2 on its way
This is the first Tutorial I have done in a while. I have been working, sick, busy, and to tired to do much of anything for a while. I am working on a Coundown Clock for the BIRTHDAY community project and I want this to be a multiple part Tutorial on how to make your own. The First thing we need to do is be able to figure out the Days, Hours, Mins, Seconds between now and Midnight on such-and-such date. For this example we will use a REALLY important date in DX histo
is there an update?

DexktopX.. Done.. nice... but not 100% correct... id love to re-do about 90% of the documentation taking a day-by-day approch to learning DX, starting with the basics and working up to basic scripting. It would also be awesome to have the website a little easier to navigate, etc. But.. time = $ and im broke

i looked at the work that was done on the countdown gadget.... On the graphic (whomever made it) can we split things into pieces? So we can "show" Winky and the cake only on the birthday? There is a png for a cake "explosion" or something? Im not sure how that was setup, if you have the origional images (png's) i can put it together into an animated png or something. So the idea on this is to allow someone to put in their name, and birthday, and have it cou
