That does sound like my widget, but I'm waist deep in the middle of another project right now so I'll have to pass on his offer. Thanks for the referal, though.

Aw man! It was up earilier today. I made one little update (I unchecked "show on my personal page only") and I have to wait another 5 days for approval.

So what's going on with my widget? I know it hasn't been 5 days yet, but what exactly is being done? Is somone trying it out? Looking for bugs? Tweaking it or something? Has anyone ever had to wait longer than 5 days for approval? What happens if the widget is rejected?! Okay, I'll stop with the questions now Seriously, what exactly is going on?

Oh, okay. This reminds me of a question I've always wondered about. Does anyone else get slightly discouraged when they get a good idea for a widget and then find a superior one that already exists? That kinda happened to me when I found out about Tiggz's OMNI Wallchanger-- but I went ahead, finished mine and submitted it. Not quite as pro as Tiggz's but, oh well.

Give Tiggz's OMNI Slideshow a look. I thought you can't use any of Tiggz's scripts?

If you're using desktopx, I may have part of the answer: 1. Create 2 objects, "collect" & "display" 2. Set the height and width of the "display" object (e.g. 200 x 200) 3. Insert script below into the "collect" object Sub Object_OnDropFiles(files) desktopx.Object("display").states("").picture= files End Sub [[[ desktopx.Object("display").states("").picture= ]]]] --- That is how you set object pictures remotely. (*Remember, that's stat

Hey, Garibaldi! I've uploaded my widget here...[it's awaiting Moderation]-Admin It hasn't been approved yet so, what do you think of the look?

Thank you.

Submitting a widget in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Not sure if this is the correct place but I have a few questions about uploading my widget here. 1. There is a checkbox in the submission process that says "Show only on my personal page". Does this mean that it won't be shown in the main library? If so, can I still add it to the main library later on? (I would like only a few people to try it out first) 2. After submitting my widget can I remove it later? (If I need to change something) Thanks.

That did it! I put the FormatDateTime with t=time before. Thank you very much! You're a great help.

I've changed everything you mentioned. I still get the same problem. It only happens when the times are on different days (e.g. Sunday my time-- Monday GMT).

Thanks for the tips you guys. I’m already trying to work out the script for the world clock. I came across this problem (*The math is according to my time for now.): t= time desktopx.Object("gmt").text= "Greenwich Time " &(DateAdd("h",8,(t))) desktopx.Object("utc+1").text= "UTC+1 " &(DateAdd("h",9,(t))) The 2nd line returns the time : 11:00:00 pm The 3rd line returns: 12/31/1899 12:00:00 am Any thoughts on why the 3rd line returns an incorr

Reply to how do i make time and date like this??? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Well that just simplified everything-- reducing the time to just 2 objects. Good catch, Cyberium. I certainly have learned alot from this thread. Question: Is there any way to set the time/date to somewhere else in the world-- a specific country? I kinda had an idea for a widget..... UPDATE: It is now after noon and it is back to the 23 hour time format....

Reply to System.setwallpaper: Why is it copying my pictures? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

IT WORKED!! Thank you very much, Garibaldi99! You've been very patient and extremely helpful. To deal with the problem of having to use only jpegs I added a function to check the file extension. If it is a jpeg then I go through the code you gave me. If it isn't a jpeg (i.e. if it's a bitmap) then I se

Reply to System.SetWallpaper: why does it copy my pictures? in DesktopX Stardock Forums

I'll take that as a 'no'. Alright, Garibaldi99 over at the WCdxforums has been great at trying to help me out. He gave me this code : Dim fso, sourcefile Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set windowspath = fso.GetSpecialFolder(0) Set sourcefile = fso.GetFile(Object.PersistStorage("picpath")) sourcefile.Copy windowspath & "\wallpaperfile.jpg",Tr

Reply to System.setwallpaper: Why is it copying my pictures? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I finally got around to trying the code you posted. I kept getting a 'file not found' error until I changed this line: Set sourcefile = fso.GetFile("picpath") to this: Set sourcefile = fso.GetFile (Object.PersistStorage("picpath")) That stopped the errors. Now, when I tested it by dragging and dropping a picture onto the object the wallpaper did not change. I'm not sure what to do now.( I wish I knew more about scripting <img src="http:

Genius! Thanks a lot thomassen! You sure know your way around scripting.

Reply to how do i make time and date like this??? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Simple and effective. It worked! Thanks again. But it is now after noon and the hour object still displays in the 23 hour format. I'm not sure what I did wrong. I used exactly the code posted above.

Reply to how do i make time and date like this??? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

One other thing. The time now is 3 minutes past the hour and the minute object only displays '3' instead of '03'. Any ideas?

Reply to how do i make time and date like this??? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Thanks, thomassen! I couldn't figure that out. That's so much easier! So now the month script looks like this: Sub Object_onscriptenter object.SetTimer 1, 10000 End Sub Sub object_ontimer1 Dim m m = month(date) mo= MonthName (m, True) object.text= mo End Sub ------------ And the Hour script looks like this: Sub Object_onscriptenter object.SetTimer 1, 1000 End S

Reply to how do i make time and date like this??? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

You’re right about the timers, RomanDA. I forgot about that! The script needs to check what day/time it is at intervals. Here is what the Date object script would look like with a 10 second timer added: Sub Object_OnScriptEnter object.SetTimer 1, 10000 '---(a ten second timer starts as soon as the object loads up) End Sub Sub object_ontimer1 Dim d d= day(date) Object.text= d End Sub Just do th
