Reply to Loading a desktop with DesktopX (Newbies #15) in Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

Hi, your articals are the only thing I go looking for on this entire forum. Do you need to do anything to your weather thingy to keep it working working? For some reason I have to re-load DirectX to keep mine working. The real question I had in mind here is why aren't all objects made into widgets? Should you use one or the other if you know you want it there all the time? I try to shut my comp down in stand-by when ever I can. It see

Reply to Widgets Crash in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I read some posts that said the last version of Desktop X was just really buggy. They just moved to a bigger office, but I keep looking for the next update. For some dumb reason I put Windows SP2 back on, and things got really bad. I went to the Microsoft page and downloaded Direct X, & I just keep re-installing it when the widgets go wacky. I was looking at AOL, and it attempted to put McAfee virusscan on here for me. That really messed thing

Reply to Problem with newest beta of DesktopX in DesktopX Stardock Forums

Well..... I'm feeling a little better about not knowing a thing about programing. If you really want to screw things up, try loading McAfee's virusscan after you've given up on DX for a while, (AOL did that for me). I might actually get get a little sleep, now that I read all this, & I got the last DX update to play with. I deleted both the themes, and curent themes folders to start over. A lot of work, but most of the time the new d

Any tips for Buildlng Desktops in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

So far I've only made 2 ro 3 desktops that haven't crashed. I think the one I'm running now is OK. Should Wall Paper size be a factor for making a 19 inch screen? The ones that came with windows are all different sizes. Is there a reason Windows uses BMP files for wall papers? Can you leave the minimum resolution set at 0 in Beta DX? Will a maximum resolution setting of 1280 x 1024 change itself to work on a smaller screen? Just wondering why

The "Tips for new users" thread is getting close to 200 replies, so I snuck in here. I've saved my first desk top, re-loaded it, & re-booted just fine. This one is with Win.XP, & the beta DX. (Windows SP2 was removed some time ago). If this desk top crashes, what's the first thing I should look at. The crash makes even the error window is blanked out. I end up with parts of a few objects on a blank Desk top, (a pointer but no clicks). I use a

Morning??? I think I almost have the desktop building down. I'm loading my own wall paper to get an idea of what size images I need. When I reboot I see paper I didn't want in back of what I loaded. If I delete a desktop from Theme Manager, will that empty (C:, Owner,Documents & Settings, Local Settings, Aplication Data, DesktopX, Current Theme ???) I'm seeing image files for more then 1 desktop in there. How much Aplicatio
