DX is Dead R.I.P.
Tuesday, May 18, 2010 by Murex | Discussion: DesktopX
Now that I have your attention!!
I would like to discuss DX in general. With the arrival of windows 7 some parts of DX are really not necessary as a lot of programs that is used often can be pined to the task bar. So I am wondering what parts of DX are really used by the average user. Myself and Jim would like to see more skinners making DX themes. I know a lot of people are saying that DX is broke and to hard to use to make a theme. Well Jim and I both use DX Pro version 3.5 on windows 7 and for the most part it is pretty stable. I'm sure standard DX 3.5 will work just a good. At this point V 4 isn't worth installing.
Thanks to wonderful people like sViz and RomanDA there are now quite a few really good scripts to work with. If any one would like to either get back into DX skinning or would like to start skinning I would be happy to help any way that I can and I'm sure Jim would help out also.
As a user what objects do you find most usable?
DX Player
Weather
Clock
Calendar
Menus
Meters and Gauges
Do you like animations in the themes?
We would like to have your thoughts and comments. Please keep on topic and refrain from telling us how bad or borked or what a piece of crap DX is. WE already Know what does and does not work in DX.

Not true. I have everything working in 7 for DX that I had with Vista. All that don't work, really, is systray support.

I've only done three of these things. Don't get your hopes up.

It's too late, especially now that Eve is on the case.
