Scripting for Balloon Pop ups and Alerts
Tuesday, August 1, 2006 by JukEboXAuDiO | Discussion: DesktopX
Greetings
I made a bar on the left of my screen with DesktopX with my systray icons and everyone once and a while when something that involves a balloon on my systray come on it comes from the bottom right and not the systray icon it belongs to on the left. Is there a why to fix that?
Also I have a bar for taskbar programs but when someo IMs me nothin happens to the icon to alert me. Is there a way to fix and or code a way for that as well?

The reason why the ballontip appear to point to the bottom right instead to the left where you have your DX systray is probably that the ballontips only recognize the windows system tray and can't tell that it's being called from a custom one. I don't think there's a remedy for that.
As for the taskbar flashing to alert you about IM messages: I'm not sure, I thought DX supported that feature. But I could be wrong. It's be odd if it didn't because ObjectBar is capable of that.

In order to script, this would require you knowing the name of each particular window, then somehow hooking it on iniating then diverting it to the coords you want.
While theoretically possible this is just not practical.
