Reply to About "AnimatedShortcut" docklet on RocketDock gallery in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

You might want to get in touch with Jafo or another admin here, as they have some experience dealing with this kind of stuff and might be able to help you. Ultimately if the RocketDock admins do not want to cooperate, there isn't much you can do (unless you have a lot of time to write legal letters or lot of money to pay a layer).

This one fails for me. And that one too :D Oh, and the link to install the Framework (shown when the gadget cannot be loaded) is broken, looping endlessly.</

I'm not sure copying files will be enough to make it work correctly, but simply running the sidebar in x86 mode will work around the problem. There is an explanation on how to do that here .

Reply to DockletX in Sneak Previews WinCustomize Forums

The final version is now available here . Only ObjectDock docklets are supported at the moment. Please report non-working/crashing docklets in the skin comments (I know Weather and SysStats are not working, will try to see if DockletX can be fixed to make SysStats work in the future).

Reply to OnAcceptDropFiles?OnDropFiles in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Just for reference, a way to know which docklet was called is to save the docklet data pointer in the call to OnAcceptDropFiles and use that in the next call to OnDropData (and hope that ObjectDock does not start to cache the results in the future...).

First test version available here (expires 04/01/2009). This is full of bugs but a lot of docklets are already working ok, so enjoy it!

Reply to DockletX in Sneak Previews WinCustomize Forums

Yep, it's a DesktopX plugin implementing the Docklet Host interface. Pretty much every docklet works (apart from Weather, but it's more of a stub than a docklet anyway). Drag&Drop isn't implemented on the DesktopX side yet, so the docklet never reveive those events. Weather is not working and probably never will. Harcoded in OD, tsk tsk. Export is not working (ie. it doesn't package the docklet with the

Reply to Animator Script Component in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I finished rewriting some parts to remove external dependencies a few days ago and the animator component is now entirely self contained. I also fixed a few bugs along the way and it's much more robust now (until all you people proceed to break it [e digicons]>_>[/e] ). It includes the FrameAnimation component given as an example in my latest reply too. You have to initialize it with the total number of frames and the interval as it doesn't seems to be exposed to script. It then inte

[quote]a script(?) thats basically says ....Play animation 1 time starting at 10% opacity ending at 100% ....Then loop animation at 100% opacity ( X ) # of times then start animation at 100% fading to 10%[/quote] You can write your own FrameAnimation that takes a loop number. Everything in my script is time-based, so you will have to convert the loop time to a length in milliseconds. The fading will be done by the included FadeAnimation.

Reply to Animator Script Component in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

[quote]ex...10 frames for fade in 10 frame animation 10 frames fade out[/quote] My FadeAnimation object only deals with the opacity property, so if your animation is using frames, you're going to need to do the work by hand. Yahoo Widget provides a CustomAnimation class, but it's easily replaced with a timer and a callback function. You can write your own animation class easily anyway (2 properties, a constructor, one Animate method) and use it with the animator component.

Update: You can find the script along with a sample widget in the DesktopX Objects gallery.

Isn't it the same regression as posted here . If so, it's already been reported by at least a few people (but one more won't hurt [e digicons]:typo:[/e] ). Broken since 3.5. Worked fine in 3.1 and maybe 3.2.

[quote]"Customer, I am sorry, but we don't have any in stock at the moment.

That's what happened, right? You contacted them and they proposed to give you a refund?

Reply to Could This Be Made into a Digsby Docklet? in Docks WinCustomize Forums

There is the MSN Messenger docklet that does just that for MSN Messenger. Does Digsby expose a COM object to query the status programmatically? If so, someone will have to write a docklet to do the same as the MSN one. If not, you're out of luck I'm afraid.

Reply to .Net SDK for ObjectDock in Docks WinCustomize Forums

No, I renamed it for the 2.0 version and forgot to update the documentation [e digicons]:|[/e] Another thing that is gone in 2.0 is the autorun feature that allowed to bypass the docklet selection UI and always load the docklet specified in an ini file. I don't know if the documentation mentionned it as it was a little bit buggy and never worked the way I wanted.

demorrison47psyc : You should contact [email protected] and tell them you cannot use it on Vista. They should be able to issue a refund if you can't run it on your system. Almost everybody is away on Christmas vacation, so it might take some time to get an answer though.
