Reply to Learning DX Step-By-Step - #4 in DesktopX Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

Thanks RomanDa It now works as expected - without the added function the object runs both date & time (counting down the seconds). The date is in my local format - day > month > year. When I add the function as presented and the adjusted code - the object works as expected. However the format becomes Americanised for me. It becomes month > day > year.

Hi RomanDA, Appreciate a little extra help as 'Step 4' isn't working as expected. Should the script box contain anything other than the cut & paste code ? If so, would it be possible to present either a screeny or text print of the final code as it should appear? I've tried a few variations but haven't hit on the right one yet. The date object works, I've also ran it as a time object just to double check that nothing is stopping the time being called up. Steps 1 to 3

So who am I voting for? Am I forced to vote? If I don't vote, is that the same as being an anarchist? Meh, I've doing it for years and no matter who I vote for, the Government always seems to get back in....

Reply to The Master Debate in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

There was never any expectation/duty for anybody to create a skin, free or otherwise, so that first argument doesn't hold much water with me... Both the community and the actual technology is dynamic - there will likely always be enthusiasts who create skins for a variety of reasons. As long as information & support continues to trickle down from those with experience, I see no reason why those that have put in the time, and learnt their craft, shouldn't benefit from it. It's

I didn't watch, Ok, I watched - but I didn't stare, ok, I stared a little - but I didn't take photos, ok, I may have took a few quick snaps - but I didn't sell them, ok, I may have sold a couple to a web site - but they promised not to publish them, ok, not promised - but it's your own fault - it wouldn't have happened if you'd been watching. phew......

I'd stuck an American station on to catch the weather situation on the East coast when this tragedy began to be televised. I wish all those that need it, the strength to get through the pain of the next few days. I know from experience that eventually, survivors & relatives of those who died, will respond with a dignity that will help your whole Country begin to heal. Andy

So re. my #8, can that not be made to work at all with Dreamscenes ? The calling up of the one video file, which is then sent to each monitor, only from a different point in that file.

Reply to Multi Monitor setups in Animated Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

There's a flash based LCARS screensaver that works quite neatly with dual monitors. Being flash, to save on resources, it is able to be divided into what might be thought of as several episodes or modules. If I remember correctly, it simply directs the same screensaver only at a slightly different point of the run, to the second monitor. This offers two complementary but differing screens routed from the same design. I haven't looked at how Dreamscenes are created and
