Concept to Reality?

from WinCustomize Forums

Sorry if I created this in the wrong forum, this is the only "desktopx" one I found. (If there is a better place for this topic then by all means correct me)

I made an objectbar theme that I am hoping to make in DesktopX Pro 3.5 to export as a standalone executable. Here's what it looks like in objectbar:

 

Is something like this possible to make in DesktopX (I really hope so, I already purchased the Pro 3.5 XD  ) 

What really concerns me is that I have not seen themes that have customizable menus. They all seem to be fixed with no way that the user can adjust them. Is there a way that these menus can be deleted/edited/ or add another item (of course I'm meaning from the .exe user standpoint)?

Thank you for your help. I hope to make something like this to share. 

 

P.S. Any links to tutorials that would help in making this would be greatly appreciated. I have been messing around with DesktopX for a few hours and feel overwhelmed. I didn't know it was this much.

ObjectBar can export to an EXE if that's all you want.

The easy way to do this is using DesktopX's capacity to display folders, sub-folders and related shortcuts as menus.  The customization for an end user would be directly in windows and by using DesktopX builder.

Vad_M made the SD Launchbar for XP found here. https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=742&libid=34

And, SD Launchbar for Vista found here. https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=1238&libid=34

Please note that Vad's are compiled gadgets done with DesktopX pro and require proficient use of VB scripting to make.

Purrball - I bought ObjectBar thinking that, yet when I exported to EXE, and tried on another PC it said that ObjectBar needed to be installed. And that was the full version that was needed. 

Yeah, I tried out the SD Launchbar and it is similiar to what I was trying to make. Though, VB scripting is bleh.
