Weather ting and Clock thing

Monday, July 28, 2003 by avs3323 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I downloaded the weather checker from this website and when i load it, it just displays some random town and doesnt do anything. is there some kind of help that i can find? and also with the calendar i cant set the dates. any help would be appreciated

I haven't tried the calendar, but double-click the town on the weather object. That displays a dialog box in which you can enter your own zipcode

Component Manager is being phased out. You need Stardock Central which has the latest version.

BTW: If this helps, most of the screenshots that show a calendar it is not a DesktopX object but a seperate program called "Rainlendar", you can easily search for this on the net.

I assume since you ask about paying for the update that you do not have Object Desktop, since with OD, the update is "free". If you own just DesktopX then upgrades prices I believe vary depending upon when you purchased it.

Also there is in fact a DX2 calender object. It is not, however, tied into any kind of scheduling program, etc. That isn't to say it can't be done of course, just the object is an example. The Rainlender, as previously mentioned can tie into Outlook.

One other thing, all the newer objects will specify in the listings description of they require DX2, which I believe is 1.98 and above.
