DesktopX 2.21 objects moving

September 17, 2004 1:56 AM from

hi, I'm having a problem with my DesktopX installation. Certain situations will make my objects move ... most often down screen. I have Winamp 5 installed and running 100% of the time docked to the top of the screen. Each time my problem occurs, it appears the objects move down the same amount as they would be off the top of screen due to the Winamp dock.

Time when this has happened include: Changing resolution due to Alt-tab from game. Taking Winamp out of dock mode, returning Winamp to dock mode, reloading DestopX. Sometimes when I change resolution (eg from 1400x1050 to 800x600) and back again, objects will also move centre to screen as if they moved in with the first res change but not back out again with the 2nd change.

Is this common? IS this a bug? Is there a fix?

Thanks.

I don't know if this is a bug but I have the same problem when I switch resolutions and every once in a while when I re-boot. It seem as if, at least on the re-bott part, that DesktopX forgets the screen position of certain objects sometimes. It also forgets what the state of an object is in, or saved as with multi-state objects with alpha trans such as some of the K-Tek stuff. It's not that big of a deal but it is kind of frustrating at times.

Frustrating it is for sure. Each time I reboot I find some objects have given in to gravity. On re-boot, I find objects that have Movement Locked will be in their rightful place ... but those that are set to default or normal will drop. My main issue is that I have a couple of objects on the bottom edge of my screen and when they drop, I lose them and have to bring up the object list to manually reset the alignment settings (yes, the numbers actually change ... which they shouldn't). Anyone else have a similar problem or know if it's a bug that is known about and is being fixed?
