DesktopX 4 Beta Bug reports
Thursday, November 12, 2009 by ZubaZ | Discussion: OS Customization
Another Desktopx 4 beta has been released. The standard and the professional version have both gotten the same updates This build focuses the feedback that has been recieved after the initial release last week.
Post anything that looks odd. Make sure to give us system information like your OS (including 32 or 64 bit), and if it's hard to explain (or even if it isn't) a screenshot.

DesktopX 4 V 3.91 Beta just avaible through Impulse and it's just a shame that the error showing Desktop X Pro also installed is still not corrected
It was said it's a glitch from Impulse, but perhaps Stardock's guys should have a look at DesktopX itself: for ex, launching the Welcome.exe from DesktopX 4 give a welcome screen with " DesktopX Professional " written on it ![]()

New problem with using Accept Drag and Drop:
Now when you drag other objects (not shortcuts, but actual objects) onto it, it makes those objects children.

I am running 3.5 and have this problem. I have had it before, it isn't new. It does seem to be only happening when the two objects are aligned exactly, pixel for pixel , above each other.

And I must report that when using David's GalCiv net meters, I get a script error, only with DX 4.0. Works great with DX 3.5. Unless you had 4.0 and uninstalled and reverted to 3.5, then it still give script errors. It would seem the errors occur if you EVER had 4.0 installed. Now I've screwed up 2 of my 3 OSes with DX 4.0

Set Impulse to show beta/prerelease programs. But you should stay with 3.5 for now. 4.0 is missing a lot of functionality.

i know i have not been on here in a while.. but is DX 4 dead now? or does anyone know where it stands?

It's supposedly being worked on, but then, so are a few other things. It is my belief that most of Stardock's resources are being spent on gaming....Elemental most recently. Just an opinion, not that I've been told anything.

Well, just FYI, the only good thing about DesktopX 4.0 at the moment is that it features 2 of my skins. Thanks Frogboy, I appreciate that.
Let me go on record as saying that I have faith that, eventually, DX will be upgraded. Maybe I'm naive. It's all I have. ![]()

Has anyone from SD mentioned anything about DesktopX lately?
I just got myself a notebook with touch screen - starting to get some ideas for a touch interface built in DX, but it'd be nice to use a DX4 version instead of the old DX3 - especially since it runs Win7.

DX4 isn't yet ready for use. I can't get half of it to work properly on Win 7 64 bit.

what would be cool is multitouch input support.
some really neat apps could be made.

DX 3.5 runs wonderfully on 7. Multitouch input support is highly unlikely, we can't even get accurate system stats, like Quad core cpu meters, etc.
