Thanks for the positive comments. Jafo, I promise that I'll look into litestep integration eventually (work and 'deus ex' addictions permitting :0) ). I have considered in the past just opening up the source to allow others to do just this kind of extension. What do you think? Would anyone here be interested in that sort of thing?
Maybe some day I'll sit down, install litestep, and crank out a version specifically tuned for it. I am a little hesitant because it took a lot of work to figure out how to get it to run on the desktop of the explorer shell, and I'm afraid it would as much to get it to work with litestep. Then again, it's likely that the litestep shell would have better documentation for this type of shell enhancement. The MS documentation is really light on this stuff for the explorer shell. I had to fire u
Ah, cool, that makes sense then. As long as it doesn't replace explorer as the shell.
Thanks for the info Jafo. Now, LiteSTEP is only alternate shell i've used in the past, and I remember that it takes the place of explorer, and given that my program looks for the desktop as it exists when explorer is around, I did kind of expect it to fail with LiteSTEP. The fact that Koasati says that it will work with NextStart (with some problems) surprised me, must be that either NextStart runs on top of explorer (without replacing it), or it does a damn good job of looking like ex
Thanks Jafo.
Koasati, Oh, I see now. I hadn't tested under NextStart, so the fact that it even works is news to me. Thanks for the info, I'll see what I can do about the problem. Z.S.
Mr D, Nope, sorry to say that it hasn't been tested with those shells. So I guess it's up to you to make the call as to whether it's worth trying with them. If you do however, I would appreciate info on how it performs. Z.S.
re: hidden desktop icons. Thanks for the feedback Koasati. However, i'm not sure what you mean by hiding your desktop icons. If your icon layout changes while the program is running, you can right click on the icon for it in the system tray and select refresh... kinda inconvenient, but i *think* it would deal with your problem (correct me if i'm out to lunch). re: latest version. Good eye Renegade. The truth is that CNet just sends download requests right back to my website so the
Hello, I am seeking comments on the following desktop enhancement tool: http://zmatrix.n3.net Before you even bother however, please let me warn you that it is only compatible with windows 2000 or windows XP, and active desktop must be turned off for the best behaviour. So please don't complain about the product just because it doesn't run under 9x.
