Venom for WB - Released
come to the darkside...
Tuesday, April 27, 2010 by vStyler | Discussion: New Releases
I wanted to make a red and black theme that took advantage of the dramatic contrasts that this color combo can achieve.
It's been described many ways by folks as I have been building it... devilish, menacing, provocative, wikked, luminescent, masterpiece, fierce, ''pushing the envelopes'' However you may feel about it after loading it up I truly hope that enjoy the experience. It has been a challenging and time consuming theme to construct.
All matching skins will be loaded soon on Wincustomize.com, and there are a bunch, and lastly as I have mentioned before all truly dark skins will have a couple of areas here and there that can cause problems, mostly in MS Office, I have included a light version for each OS. There is also a winflag Start button alternative included in the zip that can be dropped in the WB folder.
Please leave your thoughts on this theme, thanks and Enjoy VENOM!

need some quick help here...can i pre-buy DesktopX 4.0? like how it is for Objectdock 2.0
PS DesktopX 3.5 is not Win 7 compatible right?
Reply #225 Saturday, May 8, 2010 11:50 AM
3.5 is as close to Win7 compatible as you can get right now. DesktopX 4.0 is barely windows compatible IMHO.
I can't get it to run correctly on my 7. Tried several times, always reverting to 3.5.
They'll get it worked out eventually tho.
Reply #226 Saturday, May 8, 2010 12:14 PM
anyways 3.5 is Win 7 compatible right? just wanna make sure. might buy it soon
Reply #228 Saturday, May 8, 2010 3:33 PM
Yes.

Not working for me with DX4 / XP (just get the black piece without any weather icon in, even toggle units don't work
)
EDIT: I tried to do a revert back to DX 3.5, reboot, delete the widget cache, launch the venom weather, but still the same trouble ...
N.B: the latest RedneckDude's Blue Wing weather (with which i had changed location to "Toussus Le Noble, France") is working correctly with both DX4 & DX 3.5 on XP SP3

many old DX widgets are not working or just buggy in 7 (not in xp) ...guess i'll just wait for more new DX widgets/theme. and why can't i see the DEGREE mark (the circle 1 before X f/c) but i see question mark ? all the weather widget are like that...am i missing some fonts? and all clocks are missing their hands...sighed...guess i'll keep on using OB+WB+FX on 7 only

I can't reproduce this, nor can I find anyone else with the problem....
I am looking into it.

Sure, anytime. I do , however, have two tutorial links in the download for Venom.

I am looking into it.
I tried to edit both your "BlueWing weather" & "Venom weather" to have a look:
Even with yours (which is working correctly indeed), when importing the widget, i get firstly an error message:
To correct the error, click "Disable & Edit" below
Type incompatible: g'(...)'
line: 1
code:
(not avaible)
N.B: i get a similar error message when importing your BlueWing Weather or Venom Weather same way with DesktopX 3.5 and DesktopX 4 beta ![]()

I have 2 PCs and a laptop in my house and I have not been able to recreate any script errors on any of them, all running DX 3.5 Pro.
Tried on all 3 OSes, Win XP, Win Vista, and Win 7. All 32 bit. I am unable to get this error. Wizard1956, my tester, has Win 7 64 bit, no problems.
I am sorry.

XP SP3 home Edition french / 32 bits / IE7
DX 3.5 / DX 4 (not pro)

XP SP3 home Edition french / 32 bits / IE7

Please send the widget to me at [email protected]
Or you could just copy the script, paste it into an email, send it.
Also, go to your DesktopX directory, and delete the WUexternalscript.txt file. If you have, or have had DX4 installed, you'll have another DX directory in public/shared documents. Run the widget again.

Try this neophil,
When you get the script error, choose disable and edit. Copy and paste this in and overwrite the existing "bad" script. This is the script contained in my working version.
'Called when the script is executed
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
exScript = Desktopx.ExecutableDirectory & "\NOAAWUexternalscript.txt"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.fileexists(exScript) Then
Include(exScript)
Else
fso.copyfile Object.Directory & "\NOAAWUexternalscript.txt", exScript
Include(exScript)
End If
Startup
End Sub
Sub Include(sInstFile)
On Error Resume Next
Dim oFSO, f, s
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If oFSO.FileExists(sInstFile) Then
Set f = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sInstFile)
s = f.ReadAll
f.Close
ExecuteGlobal s
End If
Set oFSO = Nothing
Set f = Nothing
End Sub

f.Close
ExecuteGlobal s
End If
Set oFSO = Nothing
Set f = Nothing
End Sub
That's exactly the script i get in your's with which i get the error message (when importing the widget with DX Builder) mentionned :
"There has been a script error in object "Weather_Back"
To correct the error, click "Disable & Edit" below
Type incompatible: g'(...)'
line: 1
code:
(not avaible)
BTW, as i said your's Blue Wing Weather widget is working as it should but not the Venom Weather
EDIT: just tried to remove the line 1 = 'Called when the script is executed and i don't get the script error anymore
(but venom weather still don't work ...)
