DjStoic - I often find a glow (with offset 0,0) is more subtle than a border. Re the registry, I personally use the Local Settings area as this means that different users can store different preferences. Cheers, Martin
Randahl, Personally I suspect that this functionality has been superceded by the ability to manipulate object position by script.
This would be very easy to do if the data is in Outlook as the Outlook object model is extensive.
Close the widget and clean out C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock\DesktopX. To be clear User in the above directory structure is actually your username e.g. for me: C:\Documents and Settings\ Martin \Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock\DesktopX
Have you used the DXPlayer plugin? This should do pretty much anything media related.
Not got DX to hand, but this should work. This script in an object would cause a predefined URL to launch. Dim myURL Sub Object_OnScriptEnter() myURL = "http:\\www.stardock.com" End Sub Sub Object_OnLButtonUp(x,y,dragged) If dragged = False Then Dim WshShell Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run Chr(34) & myURL & Chr(34) Set WshShell =
Not got DesktopX to hand, but the following script should do this for a text object: Sub Object_OnScriptEnter Object.SetTimer 1,10000 ' Ping every 10 seconds End Sub Sub Object_OnTimer1 Object.Text = "Ping is: " & System.Ping("www.wincustomize.com") ' Change URL as appropriate End Sub
There is a high colour 1024x768 version which was created a good while ago. It looks great when working, but my understanding of why it was never released was that it wasn't possible to make it fully compatible with the video cards/systems out there and therefore it was anticipated that a huge amount of support would have been required which couldn't be justified on a free product.
I think one of the key features of 3.2 that is critical is the "reusable code" which essentially plugs in. This will be crucial in getting more people into leverage the power of DX. I know that I use this in many areas myself, and have objects that I transport between widgets for things like manipulating XML. The key is making this easy and flexible. If a developer is creating reusable code for themself or others then we need a simple syntax
As per aufisch's comment this application does have a specific purpose and you should not worry about it. Because it has use across a range of Stardock applications it is (I believe) installed by Stardock Central. It isn't practical to uninstall this immediately you uninstall a specific application as this may cause problems with other installed applications. As has been stated this can be switched off using Stardock Central if you are reall
Another minor issue that occurs is that if a user is using large fonts then the image for all programs can start to tile which looks pretty ugly. This occurs on many otherwise "high quality" skins.
I had this a while ago and reported it. Things with DX are generally more stable but this does happen occassionally. From memory, when I reported this, I seem to remember I thought the issue was caused by several scripts that interact with each other all running at the same time following a script change.
Yes, but one of my gripes is that it should be possible to set Rotation via the GUI rather than having to do this via script. In addition to the above script I would recommend that you set the objects default visibility to Off via the GUI, and only show it after rotation. This looks cleaner on screen. Sub Object_OnScriptEnter() Object.Rotation = 90 Object.Visible = True End Sub
Fairly easy to do via script and custom widget prefernces I would have thought.
From memory one of the default themes is a "limited access" type theme.
Certainly reinforce (1). I'm adding an AOT feature to DeskNotes, and again using a template to clone. Not a huge deal to do, but not as tidy as I'd like. Re (2), yes, I'd like this, and the ability to set font etc. Would also like the IconX label backgrounds migrated over to DX. Positioning and rotation of labels relative to objects ... also good. My biggie at the moment is a modular concept that would allow the equivalent of DX p
BTW, you shouldn't need to user to enter the feed title, you should be able to extract this from the tag in the feed. Just thinking of saving you space and the user some time
brncofan7, just drop me a main with what you are looking for and I'll see what I can do. Email in account details
If you want an MSN search object you should import the Silica search object and modify that to search MSN as well as the default searches.
DC: I don't know on the grounds that don't currently do much work specifically for Stardock - the [Stardock] tag probably relates more to my [email protected] email address than anything else. I'm sure something will work out, I just hope that my bank doesn't charge me too much for cashing US dollars! Exchange rates and bank charges are going to further diminish any returns I make.
That feature does exist (Object.RegisterHotkey and Object.UnregisterHotkey) I guess people just aren't using it. I know it's on my To Do list for DeskNotes

For Copenhagen try "Copenhagen, Denmark" or "DAXX0009" For all Danish cities look here: http://www.weather.com/common/drilldown/DA.html
Thanks for the updates. We know we are trying hard on this project and there are bound to be some teething problems. I guess it's just frustration when we're all so excited by the opportunity
Thanks ever so much for the feedback, I look forward to seeing the updates. Re contact details. I can see the need for data protection etc, but developers need supporting too. Think the risk of developers abusing the system is about as likely as individuals claiming to have purchased the product and seeking an "update" to be sent directly. How about when a customer downloads a gadget, there is a checkbox where they can opt to not
