It looks like FormatDateTime is not recognizing your system time as valid data for whatever reason. I'm not sure why that is. You can try skipping the formatting step by finding and modifying these three lines in the script to how they appear below and see if that sidesteps the problem: h= hour(now) m= minute(now) s= second(now) (Where you'd put 'now' [thats your unformatted system time] in the parenthesis instead of 't') Be sure to

Learning how to at least modify scripts is major. You'll be able to do so much more. Keep at it and you'll get the hang of it. Like Jim said, there are a lot of clocks in the gallery you can import to DX Builder to see how it works. Here's the simplest one I made that uses the same analog clock script: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/desktopx_objects/4560/ Onc

What you're asking for takes time and energy, which I and others will not always have to volunteer as promptly as you might need, so you also need to famliarize yourself with the DX User's Guide and WC Wiki (links in one of my previous posts,) as it will help you learn how to figure out many of these issues on your own when no one is available. If you see something in another widget you want to try, import the widget into DX Builder and study and reverse engineer how it is done.<

Easiest way I know of, you'll need to call another function from those places: Sub runApp(app) On Error Resume Next Set Sh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Sh.Run (Chr(34)& app & Chr(34)) Set Sh = Nothing End Sub That function will run any URL (or program) passed to it. Now, for each Case in the PopUpMenu function use the line below to call the runApp function and pass th

Define 'menu'? If each of your 4 help options is a separate object, then you need only make each of these objects a URL object: Properties > General > Change object type

Okay, I ran the gadget. It's not much of a sidebar. The bar is just a static background image which doesn't dock the screen (can be dragged away) and none of the 'gadgets' actually dock onto the bar. They sit on top and can be dragged around. From what I can tell, they are *not* separate gadgets. It is a large collection of widgets/objects (which you can find here in the galleries) into one gadget. It appears to me that the author used show/hide toggle to 'open'

Also, if you're saying you already have the mouse over state set and you want additional functions or whatever, see OnMouseEnter: [code="vbscript"] 'Called on mouse over object Sub Object_OnMouseEnter 'do something here End Sub[/code] There is also OnMouseLeave.

The reason they all close when you close gadget is because they are all exported together as a single gadget. It seems like to do what you want you need to make each object (weather, meter, drive) a separate gadget. That's the only way to close them independently of each other, but you'd also have to run them separately, too. Other than that, you could write a script to delete the individual objects within the gadget, though I wouldn't recommend it. For one, it gets a litt

Why would you want the main object to close out but not the subobjects? It can be done, but I just wondered if that's practical. Or do you mean 'hide' not close? ETA: if they are all part of the same gadget, then closing the gadget will close all the subobjects therein.

Been this way since the beginning on IE9. The last column doesn't show up at all . Turn on compatibility and I get maybe a sliver of the column. Log out and I can see the whole thing.
