Reply to Microsoft Office 12 screenshots in PDC 2005 WinCustomize Forums

I have to say that as much as I have disliked the guis of Microsoft's applications before as much am I starting to get a feeling that Microsoft has finally understood the importance of a good gui that focus on the workflow of the users. It is my belief that it is thanks to Apple, and other developers that Microsoft will now find the advantage of designing userfriendly guis since the above screenshot gives m

Reply to Default Icons Disappeared in IconPackager WinCustomize Forums

Here's a guess... Did both of you download a beta[b] version of IconPackager? When I last did that it still had the much dreaded iprepair.dll included in it which messed up all my icons too ( I managed to get the beta version of IconPackager uninstalled and then could install a NON-beta version of IconPackager. Try th

Aha! Brad, I believe I found what you were referring to.. https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/documentation/dev/custom_files.html I found the Summary Tab But again, from what I can gather the running Gadget still extracts all referred files into a temp directory =\ My hope was that it would be pos

Reply to DesktopGadgets.com: Launch date is September 13th in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

What I forgot to say above was that I would also love to see a "Save Object" and/or "Save Widget" function instead of "Export Widget" and "Export Object". Or "Save Project" or something similar and only use "Export" for Exporting to a Gadget since Gadgets can't be imported for further editing. Sorry to be nitpicking but logic workflows are part of my daily work <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gi

Z³Fx: Check in your Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\DesktopX folder =D I would love to see the "Save Object/Widget" in the Builder menus too, not just the "Save Desktop" which make things quite confusing now. Brad: "(just check the summary page to link in files)" ?? I'm stumped =\ What summary pages? The "DesktopX Documentation" link from my start menu doesn't work =\ </fon

Reply to Supporting Jark in a real way in Virtual Communities WinCustomize Forums

Of course it's about money. It's only about money. With Jark out of the way Spyed and minions will have no one demanding to check that they are not spending all of the member fees on personal luxuries. The financial records were withheld from Jark even before he was locked out. It's a good bet that Jark wanting to make sure the checks and balances were in order was the big reason Spyed felt cornered and decided

Reply to Skinning Sales Trends: DesktopX in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

It's a pretty good bet that it's because of two things. 1. the possibility to make standalone Gadgets. 2. and the very nice discount(only valid in august) to OD costumers, like rabidrobot mention(that got me buying a pro license).

Reply to Where can I find the country code (weatherapplet) in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Hihi borix! =D To find the code for the weather applet do this: 1. Right-click on the weather applet icon in the dock. 2. Select "Weather Docklet Settings..." 3. In the popup window click on the Weather Channel logo. 4. Once the Weather Channel website loads type in Holland in the "Enter city or US zip" field, and hit Enter. (Tip: you can also search using Netherlands to get the Amsterdam read

Reply to DX won't save anything? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Hi Richard! I was equally confused when I tried to see how exporting something as a gadget would work. Since it's impossible to reload a gadget to change it's behaviour etc. I figured I would have to save the project as a widget or an "object" incrementally through the project. It's not a very good setup but it seems to

Reply to What is wrong with these planes!!!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Bash2cool: yes, I agree with you. Too many in quite a short timespan. Maybe checking up on who the passengers were may give some hint of if there was something else beyond plain accidents. Today you have to do all checking up on things like that yourself since the media will not do that anymore =\ I would start checking the flight lists for politicians, security related people, military contractors,
