DeskTopX Help From A New DX User

June 21, 2002 9:41 PM from

You have seen me around a bit here, I have all the tools, most of the time just for WB's. I have now started using DeskTopX since I saw the port of UniverseMetal. OK, here's the stupid NEW GUY question. When I go to change the lable names in UniverseMetal it is easy by going to properties and type it in and it's changed. But say I want to change the names in Logika DX, I cannot. Is there something I am missing here? Now do not laugh to much on this one. And, Yes, I have posted on the stardock newsgroup for DX twice with no response.

Thanks if you can help.

Mike

OK, I deserved that one. I told you I was new to DX. I guess I will stick to WB's "which I LOVE" and all the great skins you all put out. It's ok, I have universemetal set up in DX, just wanted Logika as well.

Thanks
Mike

Some DX guru will happen along and see this eventually - I'm sure there's a logikal answer to your question...

Umm. Could it be that the labels used in UniverseMetal are really labels, but the labels used in Logika are really bitmaps with text in the images? Just a guess...

Indeed, the ones in Logika are images and not text. My advice would be to create a blank (textless) image to replace them all with, and then add text labels to them.
