What Has Happened To DesktopX? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I am just wondering what has happened to the interest in DesktopX themes lately? No one seems to be putting out any new themes. I love making the themes but was noticing that interest seems to be fading.I really hope that does not happen. I will miss DX themes terribly. I am trying real hard to think more "outside the box" when making new themes. Someone recently told me in an email , from support, I think, that Stardock isn't happy with the direction DesktopX is taking. No, I reiterate, it

[quote]Well...one thing I can see already is that this MyColors thing has put an end to creating docks for any future premium skins that come out since they are all encrypted now....at least for us unofficial creators of docks. Well....it was fun while it lasted. Guess I'll have to resort to using screenshots which will limited the amount of docks I can do for a skin.

New I P in IconPackager Stardock Forums

You used to be able to hide the shortcut overlays in the older icon pkgr. I can't find a setting in the new one for this. Can we get it back?

[quote]You know, I think we could make the images available, we'd just not include the UIS file.[/quote] That would be cool, Brad. I hope you choose that route, or something similar. I have the mustang suite, and I am dying to make a DX theme with it. Probably for personal use, unless it turns out real good and I get permission to share. But I can't even make it now, due to the coded graphics. [quote]You may be able to get the graphics from Stardock for unauthorized a

Reply to MyColors Replacing Premium Suites in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I listened yesterday to the WC Skincast. The guys talked alot about how cool it is that a blind is made, and then a bunch of skinners make addons for it, so that you end up with a full suite of matching items for the desktop. The coded graphics will hurt that process, unless there is a way to first get permission to use the graphics, and then have a way to decode them? I hope this is a passing trend that Stardock decides to can.

[quote]Yeah, they encrypted the images to prevent piracy. [/quote] Yeah, I had read that a few days ago. But I just realized that it also means that we can't make addons for the skin, which is a big part of the community joint effort, like everyone doing an addon for the rogue proton gold suite of skins. It stifles the creativity process. (:(

MyColors Suite Delivery System in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I just noticed something about the new suite delivery system. The graphics are coded. Unless I am missing something, this means we can't use any of the graphics to make widgets and such. I do have Mustang working now, on both my XP PC, and Vista Laptop. But in the blinds folder, the graphics are coded. I was hoping to make a DX Theme, for personal use, of course. Unless I could get permission from Stardock Design to release it. But with coded graphics, I can't make it to begi
