DesktopX 2.21
Thursday, September 9, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
DesktopX 2.21 has been released. DesktopX is a program that extends Windows to support true objects on the desktop. These objects are used to do everything from have "super icons" to being combined together to create "widgets" as well as building entire desktops.
Version 2.21 is mostly an update for those who like to create widgets and themes but has some memory saving features as well:
- Smart-Bitmap Loading to support animated multi-state objects/widgets
- Widgets now have their own name space
- Holding down the Ctrl Key will always move/select an object in DesktopX regardless of how it's grouped
- Sub-Child activation fixed (clicking on a parent object will activate its children and those children will activate their children and so forth)
- DX labels not responding correctly to resolution changing
- Includes new Weather widget that has features for changing color on the fly and other goodies.
- Bundled objects and widgets updated to better show off what DesktopX can do.

I'm running SP2. I don't know why it's doing it at all as I don't have any registry protection programs running. I don't believe AVG 7 Pro could cause it and thats the closest I have to that sort of program.
Great widget by the way mormegil, thanks.

Damn, can't edit.
One thing I have now noticed. I ran the .EXE widget and closed it using the "X" button you added. The location is now staying in the dxobject I imported from it. Are you saving to the registry on exit? I'll leave the widget running then just shut down at night, if it hasn't reset when I turn the PC on once I'm back from work then I imagine that is the issue.
As I used it as an import from the .EXE and you cannot close that through the "X" I don't think the settings are saved. Hope that helps a little.
