I'm sure ya'll catch more hell than it's worth sometimes and probably don't hear it enough so I want to say a big thank you to all involved in fixing DesktopX. 

I installed 3.5.058 on my Vista SP1 system and all of my gadgets work again. Much appriciated.  

Today I have installed DesktopX 3.5 056 through Impulse. Alas the Script Editor has ceased to work. Now it doesn't load any scripts (not only from my old projects but from Tutorial DX Objects too) and I'm very sad and disappointed again...   

So I compiled a widget I finished last night and go to run it and this is what I get?
Geez guys come on.

Just a simple example of using cloning to create a grid mode.
In normal view the objects are locked.
Click the upper right button to activate edit mode.
You can drag the objects or resize (bottom right corner of object).
When dragging is done the object snaps/aligns to top and right gridlines.
Has guides for moving and sizing.

Just found this MS Access based app called VBScriptMania.
Requires MS Access 2002 or newer, sadly I'm on '97.
Thought I'd share and it's suppose to allow you to store your scripts locally and comes with 2000 scripts.

Can someone refresh my memory.

I recall Frogboy writing a post concerning the System Performance Meters not functing and that they were aware of this problem.

I just dont recall why .

Was it the newest version of DesktopX or is it that the meters will not function if your using Vista OS ?

Thanks in advance.

This was asked a while ago (I think) and in my quest to learn the shell application object better I stumbled upon some doc's in my knowledgebase.

This script is based on the "Accessing Windows Shell with WSH-Scripts" article under the samples section at http://freenet-homepage.de/gborn/WSHBazaar/WSHBazaar.htm.

This script will toggle minimize/undo minimize the windows.

Today I have installed Vista SP1 RTM and then tried to test DesktopX 3.49 rc. The results have surpassed all of my expectations - IT ALREADY WORKS!!! (The minor bugs are not corrected but the standalone and Sidebar gadgets, DX widgets as well as DX Builder are really works)

But there is one thing you need to do for this - adjust the UAC through Stardock Tweak Vista:

1. Press "Security" button. Then select the "Medium-low security" item into the "Overview" tab.

2. Go to "Advanced" tab an...

Hi all! I'm trying to revise an upload of my DX Widget Azenis2 Theme Clock. I made it in a WS mode and at lower res. screens won't appear on screen doh! So, I fixed it, but I can't find any way to modify it. It's in my gallery pending approval. What do I do?  

Hey all,

I'm sure most of you think i have given up on DX. Its been months since I posted anything on DX scripting, or creation. Just been working my butt of out-of-town for most of the past 4 months.
Actually I'm sitting in a hotel room right now.  Anyway, I was looking at something the other day and wondered how many little SIMPLE tricks are hidden in DX. I was talking to miksama the other day and he pointed sent me some cool things.

I wanted to share some things that not everyon...

So, I'm working on a fairly large widget/gadget and have been noticing some lag's in responsiveness when I apply/save the main script.
This morning I moved most of it into an external file and have noticed DX's refresh time to be significantly better with just the main callbacks internally. Not to mention it's easier to navigate the subprocedures/functions from Notepad++.

Wondered if anyone else had noticed this or if my mind's playing tricks?

If it matters my base objects consist of 47 ...

So, in my never ending avoidance of learning xpath I'm working on a "File Sorter" Widget.
Usually, I begin with a rough script and basic objects that will accomplish things, then plan out the rest after.
Surprisingly, that took less than an hour.At this stage I'm deciding whether to use scripted object controls (Some of Skarns Bits) for user input or to just go with the standard forms/widget preferences options.

Having read a few articles on Gui design, the primary goal should be to make ...

Since I can't develop anything that doesn't look like a 2 year old put it together..lol..I was wondering if any of our wonderful DesktopX Devs could possibly make a layout for windows that looks similar to this I love the tabs at the bottom and the buttons at the top. I think it would be a great desktopX theme.

Thank In Advance,
Angel

Or how to add a tab to any window for that matter.

This requires the AutoItX Com object that comes with the full install & takes care of registering it for you. Also, it includes substantial documentation.

Since I use Rainlendar 2 then you might need to change the "Window Titles" use the Au3Info.exe that is in the AutoIt Folder. Double Click it, select freeze from the options menu and drag the finder tool over each Rainlendar window to get the title.

I think I've found a way to protect external scripts a little better then the standard MS Encoder. Just have run into a little snag.

In order to make things a little more secure I package the decoder script into an executable using vbstoexe. However, I can't get the package exe to run from within the object. Have tried Exec Method, Run Method and the run method via a command line string without success.

All the files are included at the link below. Your AV may flag the Decoder.exe as a tro...
