I think you could expand the idea to an virtually unlimited input device, something the size of a keyboard that can BE a keyboard or a "hand manipulation" screen or a wacom type tablet, etc. with a separate monitor for output. The input device could bring up pics of a keboard or paint colors like he was showing or thumbs of pics etc etc Kindof like the Optiumus Keyboard without the physical keys?
Best of thoughts Jeff. Stay positive.

I would get tired of looking down..I like my screen in front of me and it seems like WAY too much moving around to accomplich the same things I can with a wrist click. The thing is that it's not suppose to replace the PC. It's a completely new way to interact with services.
meh wants! Imagine skinning that beast. you can imagine that this might actually include the kitchen sink....
If you haven't heard about Microsoft Surface yet, or seen the videos already, then prepare yourself for a treat. These concept videos are to drool over. I saw a short video of what Perceptive Pixel was doing a while ago and was thinking it'd be cool to see something like that mainstream. Something, like in the video's from Microsoft Surface. Instead of me trying to explain how cool this stuff i

I just noticed that I got the same settings for my dock and I also only get a preview for the minimized windows.
Right'o! Will hold off any further reports until the real beta comes out. I've got a list of my own of things I'll be testing.
man you guys need some landscaping. install some bioswales and go green! yea. the scenery need a new skin.
o_O whooopsie! So that's why there was no docs for the new beta features. Well, the exported seemed to work fine. ... thomassen runs and hides!
Explorer just crashed on me. And then it restarted I found this new icon on my system tray. It's a blue plus sign and the tooltip says "Stardock SideBarPlus". Right click menu got two items: * Release All Associations * Exit Clicking on it does nothing. Double clicking opens notepad. What is this thing?
Yup! DesktopX 3.2 and 3.5beta works on Vista.
It's been a while now since I messed around with WB skinning, but I think that unfortunately the height can't be changed. (Someone correct me please if I'm wrong.) I remember making concept graphics in Photoshop where the top header where slightly bigger, but I found not way to increase the size. So I had to adapt the design for smaller headers.
Damn!....you know, mine does that too.....bugger of a thing.... I had a computer that just kept going when you turned shut it down. Resistant bugger.
5.) One of my nemesis bugs: When you clone an object with it's child objects, it also clones ALL the objects which share it's Widget name property.
4.) There is no "My computer" folder shortcut option.
3.) On Vista: when setting an object to be a shortcut object to open the control panel, the control panel icon on the desktop repositions itself to the top left part of the desktop.
2.) The Script Editor still doesn't save the changes you do to it's font. (P.S. I'm impressed how effortless it was to export DX gadgets to sidebar gadgets. Worked like a charm. It's great as I now can focus on only developing the DX version once I know the API for the sidebar stuff.)
(P.S. There was no changelog entry for the beta. Any info on the new sidebar features? )
Didn't see any thread for it yet, so here it goes: 1.) I only just started it and noticed that the DesktopX settings window only got the border skinned. The rest got Classic look.
worked now! whohoo!
oh... SDC crashed....
There is?! whoho!!!
I ditto that request!
I set up my old comp wiht triple boot with XP, Vista and Ubuntu. It's going to be a supporting developement machine. The XP install will have IE 5-6 for webdevelopement and other XP related testing. And the Ubuntu install will be my Linux playground. It's be just experimental. I'll be looking into Linux gadget engines and such. I split it the 120GB HD into four primary partition of 30GB each for I can have a total of four OS's. It'd be nice to have OSX on it as well, but it
