DesktopX has become invisible
Wednesday, May 31, 2006 by MikePiff | Discussion: DesktopX
The other day, after some update, DesktopX stopped showing any welcome screen or widgets. They are there in the Task Manager, but nothing shows on-screen. Being as I had set DesktopX not to show its icon in the system tray, I don't have any way of accessing its properties anyway. Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks. Most of my gadgets I have restored now, and I see that if their icons are not in the system tray they just vanish somewhere and you can't get them back. The only thing I couldn't retrieve is Fishy, whose icon I have no idea how to get back to the system tray. I think this is a bug under the conditions I set up, namely, gadgets at desktop level, no system tray accessibility. Clicking those icons in the tray makes gadgets appear and disappear, but Minimize All causes them to vanish completely, and then you can't get them back without the icon being there.

What I'm thinking of could also possibly be in the gadgets or widgets folder. I'm pretty sure it's in one of the 3.
