All great suggestions. Definitely add my vote for toggling all scripts on/off. As we all know a few seconds quickly turns into minutes. Edit: Just a quick thought could you build in a backup function of some sort? More specifically backup/export script at interval x. Another Request: Is it possible to leave the object browser open until we load all of the objects we want?
In order to script, this would require you knowing the name of each particular window, then somehow hooking it on iniating then diverting it to the coords you want. While theoretically possible this is just not practical.
Look under Scripting/Namespaces. From the manual Object.Setfont Syntax: Object.SetFont fontName, size, boolBold, boolItalic, boolUnderline, boolStrikeOut, lfCharSet
I think he wants you to ask before posting a widget?
Occassionally, I like to browse through the older objects for learning, etc. I'd forgotten & hadn't tried pjpowell's SlideBar X https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=40&LibID=3&comments=1 For those of you just starting out. I personally think this is one of the best examples of using desktopx without any scripting. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Wink.gif" bo
Is this in addition to already using single click? If not Object Properties Relation tab Start With - Change to double click. Edit: Sorry, misunderstood. I think this needs to be scripted.
Based on what the site is saying I'd say yes. I'm not sold (from a tech perspective)on this being as wonderous as they say. To me it sounds like a beefed up RSS feed with some ranking/sorting features & definitely sounds similar to Klipfolio. I've got an eBay gadget in the works with similar sounding features.
There are a few freeware apps Desktop Corral (Donation Coder?) and Hawkeye Shell Init (http://www.hawkeyetech.com) but, they function like toolbars. That said with Hawkeye you can easily set up a widget to start then destroy this area on an as needed basis.

You've got to wonder whether any of the policy makers actually listen to their tech staff. Then again common sense and bureaucracy seem to be lacking.
Sorry to bump FYI you've got to lock the child object (object being masked).
thx a lot Po. that never even occured to me but, definitely better to max out these existing features. great.
Here's one using Opacity. Make sure you set objB to 0 transparency before starting. Function Object_OnLButtonDown(x, y) If DesktopX.Object("objA").Opacity = 100 Then DesktopX.Object("objA").Opacity = 0 DesktopX.Object("objB").Opacity = 100 Else DesktopX.Object("objA").Opacity = 100 DesktopX.Object("objB").Opacity = 0 End If End Function
Depending on what the animation is doing I'd say use the normal settings. Mouse over, Mouse down, etc. I started out using normal settings but, at this stage I prefer scripting as it gives a lot more flexibility.
What Jaramia said is even more accurate. Often when you look at the underlying codes the actual data is coming from the same Environment Canada location as you'd get normal. eg. Waterloo, Ontario. is actually Waterloo-Wellington and covers Guelph, Cambridge, etc etc.
Yes. Use the Run Command under WSH. The won't launch at exact same time but pretty close. Something like this: Dim App1, App2 App1 = "C:\Program Files\Program1.exe" App2 = "C:\Program Files\Program1.exe" Sub Control_OnMouseDown Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run App1 WshShell.Run App2 End Sub
Here's a simple vbscript. You need to adjust it to dxscript. set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "rasdial [connection name] [username] [password]", 1, true (fill in the [] parts) To connect and set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "rasdial /disconnect", 1, true Source: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.scripting.wsh/browse_thread/thread/872e649ff506c6e5/1de53
Your point of view is kind of skewed...then again so, is mine. For the skinning community & those more avid computer users then the desktop environment is king but, 95% of the rest of the world has no use...more apt patience for dealing with what we see as simple. They may want a few gadgets to run whenever they want to but, not all the time. The real power for gadgets is the simple development environment & potentially rapid deployment of small programs. That's my two cents. <br
Good point. Actually there's a simple timer example in the DX Manual Scripting Intro Link
Excellent. No idea why this didn't occur to me but, a lot easier on resources than using the plugin. Great. PS. Also, a good source of information is to download Microsoft's WSH Help File which includes both vbs & jscript references as well. Using search you will get an abundant amount of date/time example codes.
Don't go over the top on the design side either. There are plenty of nice flash designed sites but, the average user is not impressed by this. Content is king. Maybe reviews, a blog. Try a google search on search engine optimization (SEO). Recipricol links but, don't become a link wh@re. I've read somewhere recently that the average user ignores the right column due to the abuse of ad's in the past but, survey's can be flawed.

Don't mean to bump this but, here's a link to his Iconpackager theme at deviantart. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/32299598/
Prefer Stardock Gadgets. To me it just makes sense. Look for my forthcoming Gidgets - not quite a gadget or a widget and I'm working on Midgets (mini widgets) as we speak
Well put Sir Zubaz. Also, remember many large organizations (gov't/business) are working to more open standards. An integrated, GUI as part of the MSOS definitely has a strong chance of dominating
Going to give it another try.
The subject matter is interesting (at least to me) but, the spelling/grammatical mistakes are not impressive in this day & age. So, I've decided not to grade this on a percentage or grade point average. You get a C-. Re-read, edit, re-write.
