Ok, I don't really like using the DX client, since I change themes pretty frequently.  Is there another option?  It's very annoying.

Right click on DX helper, properties, uncheck run at startup.

Yeah I don't have that checked.  I also tried deleting the dx helper widget, but it just replaces itself when I reboot.

if by change themes, you mean load new themes...you can do that in client
if you mean modify, when you're ready - right click the systray icon and switch to builder - modify away - then right click systray icon and switch back to client

Oh, I didn't realize that you could change themes from client (no option when I right-click).  I've always changed my themes by just right-clicking and loading a different theme.  I see what you mean though, it does work out. 


I don't really think I should be precluded from using builder because DX is forcing me to deal with the DX helper, though.  Maybe it's just me, but it's annoying.  I'm very particular about what programs I load with Windows so I can eek out as much performance from my system as possible, plus I just don't want to have to close out of helper every time I reboot.  Thanks for the help guys.

Christ.  I was trying to post only once, but my post wasn't going through, some website problems, I thought.  Then it registered every time I tried to post.
