DX Default Wallpaper

Tuesday, February 24, 2009 by angus1949 | Discussion: DesktopX Tutorials

Is there anyway to change this (default?) wallpaper that covers up mine when DX loads?

If I understand what you are asking you could load the same wallpaper into DX that you have on your desktop. Go to desktop tab then down to wallpaper and change it out..

There shouldn't be a wall loaded with DX. That could be from the last theme you used. If you're trying to get rid of it completely, go to the DX Settings window (seen in your screenshot). Then go to the Desktop tab, click on the 'wallpaper' button. Uncheck 'background image' if it's checked, click the 'none' button. Close then apply.

Got it.  Thanks to you both for the help.  Could you tell me if there is any possible way to lengthen the arms of the analog clock widget.  I found how to make them wider (thicker) and how to change colors, but not how to make them longer.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yeah Ed, I don't get a wall loading with DX

 

Ed, in the Summary part, of the clock hands, you can adjust the height and width, but right click on the hands themselves, and select the config option, you can change the color, and thickness there also, and anti-aliasing

I don't know where the wall came from but it's changed now.  I'll work on the hands issue Diane, thanks.

Please be sure to make the background image big enough to contain the clock hands.

So, if you wish to make 150px long hands, you need at least 300px x 300px image for the backgroud/parent/clock face object.

So that the hands can rotate 360 in it.
