Reply to localstorage for arrays? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

From memory it just stores text, so you could loop through the array and build a text string to store with separators. You can then read it back in, by parsing the string. It may make sense to prefix the text string with the number of items to make the loop easier to build. e.g. 5|Red|Blue|Green|Red|Blue

Reply to Mouse over state behaviour in DesktopX Stardock Forums

Yes, I always found this a little frustrating. Personally if I want to do anything vaguely interesting with mouse over etc I tend to use custom states and scripts to control them with OnMouseEnter, Leave, and the various button up/down events. It's a pain, but it's more flexible.

Reply to Text Box with Transparent Background in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

No it doesn't allow a transparent background, and to my knowledge there isn't one that does. I seem to recall however, that if you look in the sample objects there is a text object that functions like an Edit control which will probably do the job for you.

Reply to Plugins? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

If you want to get really sophisticated you'll want to start messing with the scripts. Depending on the media player you use these may help: iTunes - http://martin.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=58&LibID=34&comments=1 WMP - http://martin.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=86&LibID=34&comments=1

Reply to Silica Calendar - Incorrect in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Guys - why not look at my calendar (http://martin.wincustomize.com/viewskin.aspx?skinid=131&libid=34&comments=1&SID=37) I think the Silica Calendar was based on this but missed some items. See if mine works and then look at copying the differences.

Reply to Warning! DesktopX widget security issue in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

If a widget uses the IE control it will cache the content. My advise is that you consider the widgets you use. I cannot see how the content downloaded from finance.yahoo.com represents a security risk (believe me - I know the widget - the Silica object was based on one of mine!). If you are using Firefox as your main browser these will be the only cached files so unless you are overly concerned about protecting your currency conversions I don't see how

Reply to Weather zipcode? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I don't know about the looking glass objects but I know that all of my latest weather objects and Tiggz's will store the weather in the registry or elsewhere

Reply to Yet another DesktopX ideas. in DesktopX Wishlist WinCustomize Forums

I have proposed that we have font styles to Alberto a while ago, and I know he was considering it. Styles would be more flexible that scripted fonts (though this would be included too), because you could set an object's text to a style and then you could rapidly change the complete look of an object by editing the style rather than each individual object.
