At the moment I would even be lucky if DX would not lose settings from persistent storage from time to time... I gave up on that a while ago, and just have savesettings() and loadsettings() functions i made to write out to the reg and read from the reg. its a pain in the rear, but not much i can do.

All in all it was a pretty disappointing experience for me. Bud, im sorry, it was similar for some things i have tried as well. The main problems with the current "crop"/"glut" of weather widgets is most use VERY old and VERY problematic code. There has been a lot of things implemented in DX that could fix a lot of these issues, but no one wants to bother doing it. I have seen some new weather widgets from Richard but to be honest i dont care

My thought (expressed several times before) was to add into Skin Studio the ability to have images for weather, rss, clock, calendar, etc so that i could code a widget/gadget that used the correct images, and add the functionality i wanted it to have, then have the current WB skin (if it had the images in it) change the skin of my gadget/widget. I have really fought to break out of the same old same old stuff, trying to make DX work in ways most people are not currently using, but its r

Reply to Wallpaper problem in DesktopX in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Bichur, I only found this out when Natural Desktop was not working at all. I spent about a week working on this, trying to figure it out, then someone at SD asked me if i have my icons turned off.. that was it. Im not sure what other programs do this same thing. But i was told how it "turns off" the icons is to take the current wallpaper and place a COPY of it over TOP of the icons, thats how it turns them "OFF".

I have also seen this happen because you turn off desktop icons via windows right-click on the desktop. I was using natural desktop and none of the wallpapers would work. Just another thought.

You could use an RSS feed and read that with DX and have links in there to download the files. I do this for some of my gadgets to check for updates.

Kaspersky is known to block SCRIPTING which is needed to allow DX to work. Try (disconnecting from the internet - for safety) then shut down Kaspersky, and other programs, and see when things start to work, when they start working, look at the program you just shut down to see if there is an option to allow scripts to run.

Reply to Embedding a font in a DX widget in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

no, its good. there are other FLASH Widgets out there so im sure people can find ways of doing it. I have had problems with embedded fonts not working 100% of the time. So when i make a gadget (for sale) i make a SETUP.exe file using a free program called Inno Setup that allows you to install fonts, programs, etc. It works great.
