DesktopX 2.3 released

Monday, November 8, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

DesktopX is a program that enhances your Windows desktop by allowing users to add widgets to it or change it all together by loading themes for the DesktopX environment.

DesktopX widgets are .EXEs which means they can be run outside the DesktopX environment. Widgets are mini-applications that add new functionality to your desktop.

DesktopX widgets can be brought up with a hot key (Avedesk 1.2 and Konfabulator both have this functionality as well).  Popular widgets include weather monitors, media players, stock tickers, calendars, and more.

Version 2.3 updates DXPlayer to support Windows media player WITHOUT needing SDPlayer installed.

Well, I said I'd do it, and I did!

Get this one if you want ObjectMedia to be the default if it is active: http://www.zen9361.zen.co.uk/tmp/DXPlayerSPPriority.zip
Get this one if you want ObjectMedia to be the default and run when you press a button if it's not running: http://www.zen9361.zen.co.uk/tmp/DXPlayerSPExecute.zip

Either way, extract into C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\DesktopX\SDPlugins and maybe the ObjectMedia directory as well.

Work any better?

OK. Note that the default for future versions will probably be that it will not load ObjectMedia by itself - you will have to do this yourself either by running its shortcut, or by making a DXPlayer object calling the ObjectMedia function and clicking it.
