This is very cool. I love the zoomed-out view and the fact that all ship components are actually physical parts of the ships. I gotta ask though, why are you putting out the demo after the release, I'd think you would want the bigger exposure by releasing it prior to the game itself?
That's just great! Between this, Civ 4 and my job, when the heck am I suppose to have any sort of social life. Looks awesome, can't wait to get it.
Personally I will never use any kind of sidebar, regardless of how much screen space I have, simply because I don't want to bunch up all my widgets into one area, I like to spread them around. I also agree that there need to be more useful and more variety of widgets than what we have right now but I don't think that's Microsoft's responsibility, it's up to the community. What MS needs to do is make the sidebar flexible and compatible with other widget
I didn't have quiet as nice experience with it. I couldn't for some reason install additional search engines (I click the link and nothing happens), and toolbar customize also didn't work (I realize it's beta but it's still annoying). I did try it for a few days - it's definitely light years ahead of IE6 and there were couple of things there that I think they did a bit better than FF (although in both cases it is easily rectifiable with extensions). Ov
It's cute, but how many more Brokeback Mountain jokes are we gonna hear - it was already old when Jay Leno told one last Tuesday. So it's gay cowboys, get over it.
I'm using the 1.10a.006 version of RightClick and having minor trouble with adding a widget to the menu. The widget is just a textfield and if I focus on the textfield and then click anywhere on the desktop (to close RightClick menu, per its usual behavior) the menu won't close. I have to either click one of the other items, or open a submenu, and then clicking anywhere on desktop works (and it can be closed). Basically it's like half the "focus"
Umm... I believe this is episode 19, not 18. Did somebody forget their cup'o'java in the morning?
Are there any mirrors for this file, ones that link to the actual MOV file instead of torrent, I'm not touching BitTorrent with a 10 foot stick?
Looks like they changed the links a bit, thanks.
When I tried to view the neowin RSS feed at this link "http://neowin.net/backend.php?page=main" using the Silica RSS reader I got an error. Another RSS reader just asked me to disable the script right away. What's up with that? Obviously at one point it was possible to read this link as RSS feed or else the widgets wouldn't have been released. Is there any fix for that? (both widgets work fine with feed links that end with XML files)
If I create a folder shortcut that uses one of the special folders, i.e. MyDocuments, MyComputer, etc. and I disable the "Show folder in a menu" option, whenever I try to open it RightClick crashes. It's possible to go around this issue by linking directly to the folder, i.e. just putting path in the target line, but that doesn't work for all the special folders. Anyway, just wanted to point out that notes for 1.10a release state that this b
Sweet! With any luck, 5 years down the road this'll be as common as cellphones.

There's patent Mark, and then there's a patent. They gotta be reasonable about it. What if artists started patenting the various techniques of creating art like watercolors or styles like surealism. You could argue that someone originated those couldn't you, but patenting that would be just a bit crazy, IMO.

I will never understand the US patent laws. How in heck do you patent a way of selecting a track?? It's like patenting the click or the double-click. I mean what's next, are they going to start patenting the close and minimize buttons on windows, or the drop down box? Somebody ought to knock some sense into these people. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/M
I have an object that I want to use different images based on some condition. The problem is that DesktopX doesn't save images with the object if they don't belong to one of the states and I can't use the default states because they don't fit what I need. What ends up happening is that when the object needs to switch an image it becomes empty because it can't find an image and I have to manually show it where it is. I tried creating custom
Hmmm, looks like it's fine now. It might've been the cache, though I did refresh it several times, or maybe they fixed it/finished updating
I've updated one of my skins, part of the update was a new preview image. The preview thumbnail (which is visible when you browsing gallery or looking at the skin description) has been updated w/ the new image but when I click on it and it goes to load the full preview image it loads up the old one. Other than that everything else was updated correctly. What should I do? Is posting in this forum enough or is there some sort of support email

You are probably working in development mode (DesktopX builder), in this mode the default right click menu (if such exits, like in the case of recycle bin) is overridden by the dekstopx context menu. Unload dekstopx builder and load the object by itself. Before that though make sure that the builder isn't the default environment for dxobjects, for that go to desktopx builder preferences and make sure that the 2nd checkbox is unchecked
Not knowing how you modified the silica widget I can't tell you exactly what to write but... You need to put the Object_OnLButtonDown function inside a script for your "image object", i.e. the one that displays the actual images. Then (inside that function) use the System.SetWallpaper function. Details on how to use the setwallpaper function are found here <a href="https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/documentatio
I agree with starkers, after all there's only so many ways to draw shiny 3D buttons on a 2D screen. More significant to me are the differences or the similarities found "under the hood", and from the looks of it, seems like Vista is going much further than Tiger (or Leopard or whatever other feline species ), especially when it comes to file storage and management. Then
My object navigator takes anywhere between 1 to 5 minutes to update itself to properly reflect whatever changes happened to objects, even if I just delete them. Right-click->Refresh doesn't help either. I have a fairly fast PC with plenty of memory and AFAIK widgets or objects don't have or cause any performance issues, yet the slow update of objects' list persists.

Hmmm, I posted this on DesktopX->Development->Bug Reports (or something like that) forums, is there any other way to report bugs or is that it?
This script is for DesktopX Edit object, basically it's suppose to respond to pressing Enter. For some reason when I run this VB script, it works Sub Control_OnKeyPress(Key) ' if enter key is pressed If Key = 13 Then Control.Text = "1234" End If End Sub However, when I try to do the same thing with JScript, there's no response function Control_OnKeyPress(Key) { if( Key == 13

And thus Intel takes another step towards world domination
