I have noticed,although lately cooperating,the Recycle Bin and various other placed Icons must be re-positioned every load.Many of the Objects do not work well for me.And it seems even if they did the CPU draw/increase is not worth it.If I add 1 Object DX go's from 15k to 36k.And of course the more Objects the larger the load.The email checker will not work for me no matter what I've tried.I had it working once but came back to find My CPU spiking 100%,started to shut things down one by one and lo and behold it was the DX Email checker.I have no Idea.I have a fairly large system and Run Windows Media Center,the Moving/Drawing Objects of any kind will ruin your TV watching or Recording.Runs much smoother for me without any DX Objects.Gotta love that IconX though,,eh??

Mine works well, sometimes CPU stays at 100%, but it could be from email notifier.

The only nitpick problem I have noticed is the state of the Recycle bin doesn't change to empty from full using IconX. I believe they know though about it, was fixed once, then broken again.
Otherwise seems fairly stable.

I get an error on some schemes, those that use a CPU monitor, and with some apps (BoxRam etc, also using CPU monitoring)-this is it:
Unable to locate "Processor" performance object.
It gives me an infinite loop error. I know it's been mentioned before, but I can't find a reply to solve it. I also know that it probably isn't necessarily a DX problem - I'm just hoping someone has a fix for it! Other than that I have no serious problems worth mentioning, only minor niggles (occasional crashes when I try to amend too much at once, 'user error'?)
Overall I love DX2 and use it all the time. A hope is that there will be more themes for 1600 res, although I like the challenge of amending what there is.

Well, the first time it was MetalX2. Then it happened with various ones all the time. I got afraid to drag a rolled blind so for awhile I didn't. But to test, I tried again and it seemed ok. Until I opened tab launchpad, which again opened rolled. When I tried to drag that, the desktop froze, including all the windows on it. I couldn't get the windows to close at all and athey all left ghost windows scrambled with each other. I manually shut down the computer and started again.
Though tab-launchpad seems to have a special problem, it has not been a common factor on many of the freeze ups.
