Reply to Changing IP in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

This has been something I've been trying to figure out for a while now - either trying to use WMI or Registry Settings (although, this still needs checking thoroughly) as I move between 2 places where in one place my wireless is required to use DHCP (aquire an IP from the router) and another place where I use a static IP - would be nice to have a script that at the click of a button would either switch between the two or allow you to configure it straight frmo the desktop - if anyone has any ide

Orrrrr go to C:\Documents and Settings\"Your User Name"\Local Settings\Application Settings\Stardock\DesktopX\"Theme Name" This folder contains all the individual graphics (and Script codes) for that particular theme.

Well the specific numbers given for the left values (i.e. Object.Left = 2 & If Object.Left + Object.Width <= 236) are relevant to the width of the parent image - the image is 238 pixels in width - 2 for a border. You might need to adjust these values depending on the parent image you use.

Reply to What do I do about WebBrowser Errors? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Yeah that error is page-specific and, as far as I know, there is no way to code the error out via DesktopX - You would have to use Internet Explorer's Settings, either in Custom Level security or in the Advanced settings - try looking for "Scripts" or "ActiveX" sections and it may be there I am unable to check at min as using locked-down systems at work - will get back to you on where exactly to find these settings. Have a play around in IE's settings see what you can find.

Reply to Can this be done? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

You can tweak the registry as well to disable the Windows Keys & Right-Click (even though that has no effect when running DesktopX). The Windows key is an important one though as pressing the Windows Key + Pause/Break will bring up the System Properties, saying that, pressing Ctrl + Esc brings up the Start Menu as well... So it would be pretty difficult to completely lock a system down to just the desktop. You may want to delve into more Windows specific articles about locking down a system

I see what you mean now... Usually the Radio Streams just display the title of the stream not what is actually playing (although through ShoutCast & Winamp it is possible to display track and artist info) But in the case of DX using winamp to display track artist info. DX generally splits the playlist item (i.e. "Rammstein - Mutter" at the " - " then says the first part is the Artist (returning "Rammstein") and the second part would be the title (returning "Mutter"). Now having said tha

Eee I made a few browsers for my desktops.. I think they all included a "Favourites" list - effectively a Drop down box for saved websites. The best version is in my "Fresh" theme available here Not Too Sure Theme

They can if you use Winamp! Just use the Clip Name (found in Additional Abilities!) and you should have the stream details there

Reply to Test Drive a DXtheme for me? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Yeah, I found out recently (being yesterday) that there's a link between Timers and CPU usage.. Currently working on a program that reads and writes files alot (written in VBScript, designed in DX) and Timers running once every millisecond (i.e. Object.SetTimer 1, 1) swamps the CPU, slowing the timer to at least 1000 (a second) seems to be alright - As to the other part an icon not reappearing again... no clue O.o If you don't ask you'll never know! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/

Reply to Scripting of DXListBoxControl in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Ok carl, this was a fun experience for me. I wrote a small web browser using activeX controls inc ComboBox control... I had to make it so values were set for the particular items listed. For this I used the Object.PersistStorage method in script, I suppose the answer would be an If, ElseIf statement depending on the ListIndex of the ComboBox - i.e. in the ComboBox the first item is selected (ListIndex(0)) then TableDisplay (whatever object this is) = Object.PersistStorage("FieldName") ? If thats

Reply to Just want to say thanks in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Ha! Murex no need to say thanks really its what this place was made for but it is nice to know we can help people other than ourselves. I think the most complicated script I made was a drop-down list of saved websites.. That was nuts to get right ku. Anyway, Thanks for your thanks but no doubt there'll be a time when you provide to me or SirSmiley or even RomanDA (the Script God.. or so it seems)

Ha Figured it out.. sorry about that I missed a bit to make the object Visible again... Try this for Timer1 Sub Object_OnTimer1 'Stops the timer once the object has reached full opacity If DesktopX.Object("icon Ie").Opacity => 1 Then DesktopX.Object("icon Ie").Visible = True ElseIf DesktopX.Object("icon Ie").Opacity => 100 Then Object.KillTimer 1 Else 'Fades in the object DesktopX.Object("icon Ie").Opacity = DesktopX.Object("icon Ie").Opacity +1
