Loaded DesktopX 3 and really like it. Loaded several widgets and new themes from the Web.
Read development instructions and tried to modify themes (mostly to either change or add programs on my PC) and ran into a brick wall. Have spent several hours daily for several days and gotten nowhere. Well, did get a tiny text item on a new desktop and then couldn't touch it with a stick. I can now set targets over old text (usually) but can not seem to get them saved. Being an old man I could spend a large portion of my remaining days trying to accomplish a few simple tasks which are:
All I want to do on downloaded themes is to:
1. Rename some existing program texts to mine: i.e., safeclean to CCleaner.
2. Add the text names and shortcuts for my programs ( games, protection utilities, etc., i.e. Snood, Zone Alarm etc.).
3. Save the above so I don't have to do it again every time I reload that particular theme. I do select save when asked but that doesn't seem to get it.
I know nobody here has the time to lead me by the nose thru this, but any hints or any locations of relatively simple instructions would help. I've searched the forums and read the DextopX Development Intro but can't get this dumb brain to make what I've read work yet.
Many thanks
