Ok, so the diner was not a 3D model then? It was just that the diner itself appears to be 3D. That is why I asked. :D I have got to learn 3D modeling for sure! Those dreams look so much more lively.
Oh I see. Thank you Neil! These hybrid dreams are very nice. Are we going to see a lot of them directly from you as well? I like the Vintage one that is shown in the preview, but I am not sure how that is made. It appears to be using 3D models. Is that assumption correct? :)
Thank you for this tutorial. However, it still doesn't explain how to setup the settings panel to allow the user to enable/disable certain animations. It also doesn't explain what SettingsName is. I am just trying to get a little bit of a deeper understanding of all of the settings that you have available for these hybrid dreams. The documentation doesn't mention one word on how you can allow the user to enable/disable each individual animation.

[quote who="motsrox" reply="7" id="1364113"]well, but if those files already get extracted to C:\ProgramData\Stardock\DeskScapes\ExtractedData when using Deskscapes on Vista-Ultimate, you only increase the number of people able to extract, a possibility already exists...[/quote] I imagine that if they allow you to access the functions/methods from their dll files, you should be able to programmatically launch Deskscapes and make a call to the function/method that they use to set the c
Here is what the hybrid file for my test dream looks like: [Hybrid] BaseTimer = 25 [Image1] Image = 284-1920.jpg ImageHasAlpha = 0 [Image2] Image = logo.png ImageHasAlpha = 1 Width = 100 Height = 258 [Image3] Image = nwa.nwa [Layer1] ImageIndex = 1 TileMode = 0 <b
Any thoughts on how to do that?
[quote who="Zubaz" reply="123" id="2403910"] I have one question. What is a .hybrid file and how do you create it or get it? I want to make hybrid dreams.There is a PDF in the Desscapes directory with instructions on making hybris dreams. DreamMaker is there too. [/quote] Thank you Zubaz. Only one more question. How do you create the animated nwa files or can you use gifs too?
[quote who="CarGuy1" reply="124" id="2404055"]I was thinking about creating a hybrid tutorial if there is enogh people interested. [/quote] I am definitely interested. Have you made any thus far? If so, can I see them by any chance?
[quote who="CarGuy1" reply="114" id="2387183"]Neil, I get the following error from DreamMaker 3 when trying to add additional content files on Hybrid Dreams. I found a way around it by doing the following... 1) Click on the Hybrid Content button and choose the .hybrid file 2) Click on the Dynamic Content button and choose the .hybrid file 3) Click on the Hybrid Content button 4) At this point Dream Maker will allow you to a
I am a subscriber to object desktop ultimate and still couldn't find it. Where is it at? :( EDIT: Nevermind, I had to set the option to show the prerelease software. Sorry about that.
Excellent news! Thank you!

[quote who="CarGuy1" reply="3" id="2238996"] Good! Now Stardock can get in gear with Windowblinds 7, but will they? lol If your an Object Desktop customer, the beta of WindowBlinds 7 will be released later this week. Read about it here [/quote] Awesome! Thank you for that update! I don't know how I missed it. Sorry for the snide comment there. :( I have been very frustrated lately and should not have taken it out on Stardock. You all are great an

Good! Now Stardock can get in gear with Windowblinds 7, but will they? :D lol
Not trying to flame, but why does this seem typical of these forums? :) They are offering this primarily for businesses. If you don't like it, don't use it! :)
WOW!!! The sense of humor is getting rather strong in here! I am loving it! LOL! :)
If they use Silverlight, themes would be very easy to implement! Here is hoping! lol.
I like this idea a lot. It is great to keep up with Web Standards and Technologies for sure. Frogboy, part of your article ("Instead, the site will feel more akin to a desktop application.") says to me that you plan to make use of Silverlight 2. I don't want to assume anything, so I will ask you, "Is that true?" If so, way to go! I really think that Silverlight is an important platform in terms of the future of the web. Keep up the great work guys.
I am seeing the same issue with impulse. I believe it is the msi installer for some reason. I have to look into it more though. :) It happens on 32 bit too.
I thought I had it figured out as the mycolors sunny day theme, but no luck :(
Seems like Masterbaron's cat is chillin' :) lol Here is are my cats: Callie: Ginger (The religious cat lol):
Oh good grief! All of a sudden my screen name tells my personality!?! Besides, the screen name is Vista "CUSTOMIZER"! ;) I am no fanboy! That is for sure! I like the things that Microsoft does, yes. However, I like apple as well. :) Their stuff is quite awesome as well! :)
I like the new taskbar! Sorry, but that is just the way it is! LOL. Also, if Microsoft always caters to everyone that whines, they would never get any innovation completed! Don't trash it until you get the chance to use it! I really hate the fact that when Microsoft tries to do something right, users complain. However, when apple does something right, users claim they can't do any wrong! Ugghhh!!! Fanboys suck! LOL.
I do too pjdark! I don't get what people are complaining about here! I mean what the hell, people haven't even used the damn thing yet and think it sucks! How the hell can they know if something sucks if they don't use it? Also, they must not of watched the demos very close because the productivity increase is far more important than the look. :) I love the fact that it will be easier to get things done. Good grief complainers! Get a life! Programs are not all about look and feel all the time! W
Ah, it is so laughable! I sit back and watch people complain that Microsoft doesn't do anything right like apple. Now, they try to do that but far better and they still complain! Ughh! I give up! LOL. (:( Ok, so now on topic. I love the interface myself. It is a great improvement on Vista and prior Windows versions. For those of you that are concerned that you don't like the size of the new taskbar. It is still resizable. ;) Finally, Microsoft is headed in the right direction. IslandDog, Frogboy
