Adding menu items to DX destops
How to add items to DX menu panels in the Office Extreem Desktop
Sunday, April 13, 2008 by AikonEnohp | Discussion: Skinning
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this!
I am using the Office Extreem theem an I am wondering how does one go about adding new menu entries. Specifically for instance, the short-cut menu selection for games opens a small panel showing game 1, game 2, etc. How would you go about adding game 5 for instance.
I am new at this so I appoligize if this is a stupid question
thanks

gotta be in builder moder
once in builder - right click on one, say...'Game 3"
choose 'clone'
then ctrl+mouse to drag the cloned 'game 3' off the top of the original
you can hold down ctrl and use the arrow keys to position better
then right click on the new game 3 and choose properties then states tab
you'll want to highlight each state (mouse away, mouse down, mouse over) and change the text for each state to match the text you want it to be
click 'apply' - 'okay'
save the theme

Thank you, this was the info I needed. This is the first time I have ever attempted to use DX but I need a desktop that is more like a functional GUI as opposed to "pretty". DX is not as straight forward as I was hopping for. I will likly be posting more stupid questions.
Thanks Again
