Multiple Widget Upload.

Wednesday, February 6, 2008 by sphoto | Discussion: Object Desktop

I have a widget that I intend to upload. I made 6 different versions of it with the skins being the only difference. Should I upload them together in the same zip or do them separately?

You should probably zip it up.
Or even better, code it so it's one widget that changes skin on a button press.

Thank you Zubaz. I'll probably upload one to the widgets page, then if approved, put a link to the others at my Wincustomize page.

If widgets same just use another bg....
Ok here sample dxpack: sample
put your current widget to msk2 and switch parent and made trans 0%.
Then choose , bg1 and bg2 images to your own images.
1 widget and 2 bg...

Ya I m agrre with bilbo and Zubaz. Put a button so that one can switch to different skins.
You can do this by just creating six states for the objects then create a menu showing six skins. And use DesktopX.Object("your object").state = "state name" for the different options in the menu.
I made a widget Ultima'nOtes with about 10 different themes. You can have a look at it if you need.
