Thanks again Frogboy. It just keeps getting better and better. 
I'm looking for a tutorial on using the scripting, if anyone could direct me to one I'd appreciate it.

There seems to be a bug in this build of DesktopX, you're supposed to be able to just click on the cty and a dialog box pops up asking you to enter another one. We're looking into it. It worked in 1.98B.

Very nice! And you know what? I can run this with all the fishies swiming around on my old Celeron 333 at home without any performance hit at all! I'm impressed!
Hey, Brad: the weather object looks nice, but it would be nice if it worked for us non-US peeps.

Frogboy - I looked over the code and figured, "All I need to do is click on the city and it should ask me for a new zip code". I clicked and clicked, no luck. Just did what bipp5 said (added a Command Executed to the states) and it works like a charm. Great object, now if I could just get some rain on that thing!

Thanks, Frogboy for explaining how to get the weather. I think you misinterpreted my question about using objects. I know how to import objects into a theme. What I really want is to just use some selected objects without loading a theme at all. Even the "blank" theme puts quite a bit of junk that I don't want on my desktop and deleting the objects sometimes leaves artifacts.
Finally, I'm enjoying the fish, but my wallpapers are aboveground. If anybody wants to make a bird, it would make my desktop.

Is there anyone with 2003 who has gotten this to work? It doesn't work with mine.
