Hang In There for DesktopX
Now on a desktop near you......
Monday, June 28, 2010 by RedneckDude | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Just a sneak peek at my upcoming DesktopX theme called Hang In There DX.
There are slideable hangers across the screen, hanging from a pole that will autosize to your resolution.
Each hanger contains a slide down menu into which you can drag and drop your shortcut icons.
There is a hidden media player, with speakers that show when you hit play, hide when you hit stop, an object panel, and an analog clock that also hangs from the bar. Also a folder drop.
The bar can be moved up and down your screen. Hope you like.
EDIT: It is now in the gallery. Here.

That's right! I noticed that you've been doing separate weather widgets of late. Still, I'll have to ditch most, if not all of these older themes... cos if they're applied the weather component is going to go guts up again and give me grief.
As for the sleep I needed muchly.... didn't get a lot (about 45 mins) and I've been feeling non-compos-mentis all day, so doing a clean install of DX 3.5 hasn't happened as yet.
It's 5.05pm and I'm just starting to come together, so maybe later.... and hopefully then I can try out this u-beaut theme.

Starkers, disconnect from the internet (disables the weather error), open DX in builder mode, right click the systray icon, choose "list objects". Find and delete any and all weather parts. Save the desktop sans weather.
Do this with each theme you want to keep. Then reconnect the internet. No more error.
Then go download every weather widget in my gallery....they all work...thanks to sViz!
Need more help, holler.

Thanks for the heads up on those ideas, Jim, I'll do that when I get to sorting through the themes. There's a few from way back when that I'd like to keep, so that's the go from here on in. As for your themes and weather widgets, I'll stop by your gallery over the next week or so and check out what's needed. Like I said earlier, DX hasn't had as much use as it could have in recent times, so there's a few that I wouldn't have gotten when you released them.
As for DX itself, well so far so good... fingers crossed it stays that way. Did a clean install of 3.5, so it should if I don't mess with updating it to 4.0.
BTW, Hang in There is lookin' n' workin' mighty fine.

Starkers, you'll notice that because of TWC, I no longer include weather with my themes. Most of my older work has no weather. Most of my newer work, has a matching weather widget as a separate download.
