Still trying to shut the aquarium down. Running: Windows XP Pro Intel® Core™2 Quad Proc Q6600 (2.40GHz,8MB L2Cache,1066FSB) 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM 800MHz - 4DIMMs 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce 8600GTS, 2DVI Aquarium Desktop Elements Pack3 Aquarium Desktop 2007 Hope this helps! :)
Um, I have a similar problem in that the Aquarium Desktop, while very nice, interferes with my QODBC Driver so I shut it down when working with that; however, now there is no Aquarium Desktop icon in my system tray or whatever you call that on the bottom right hand corner of my screen so I can't shut it down and don't know how else to do it? Anybody know how to shut it down?
I had no idea what the problem was but would never blame the software unless I was positive. I did think this forum was the place to go though since you all are experienced with DX and I figured someone might have already run into the problem. This is some great application, isn't it? I mean, it was easy to understand from the get go and is so refreshing not to have to look at the same screen 24/7. I stumbled on the DX site by going to Microsoft and looking for icon editing sof
FIXED! The problem was this: To apply transparency to my image, I had to switch to Indexed Color and that made the distorted image.

Thank you people for all your interest and help!
I didn't remove the script because I want to play with the movement part, but good point so I just now created a widget from scratch and the first thing I did was upload a png with transparent background that I created and it is corrupted and distorted. Next, I uploaded a png with no transparent background and it looked fine. Is it the software I'm using to create the pngs? Corel Draw X3 and Photoshop 6? What applications does everybody else use to create pngs with tra
Yes, afraid I already did that and it made no difference. This is stumping me.
Oops, hit the enter button. What looks fine: images created by others transparent or other images created by me - no transparency What is distorted (sometimes no color) images created by me with transparency, even though they look fine in other apps. Thanks so much for replying to my post. I sure appreciate your help.
I'm so new at this. Have had this less than a week. Okay, I'm modifying the Fishy widget to try and learn how to make these widgets. So I tried replacing the image with one of my own. I can't give you a screen shot. Not sure why. I'm running the Aquarium Desktop and neither Corel Capture nor SnagIt will capture anything. Anyway, I'm using: DesktopX Version 3.49f[rd].017 Windows XP Professional 2002 Service Pack 2 Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz
