[DesktopX] How can you make simple textlinks to run programs
Saturday, March 13, 2004 by LukeTheDuke | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to the DesktopCustomization-scene. I'm right about configuring my Desktop for the first time, and wanted to have a link-style list to run my programs (just like I wrote it in HTML, you know, just plain text, captions and Links).
How can I do this?
PS: If that ain't possible in DesktopX (what I don't think actually), how else can one realize this?

Well, that gives me a plain Text. But how can you make links then? I mean, how can you tell DesktopX that he reacts on certain parts of the text, and not on the whole text only? And what would even be better: Can you somehow format the text (I mean parts of it, and not the text as a whole).
I had the idea that you create a a text-object for each link/caption, but I wasn't quite sure if that's good 'style'. I mean, can you
1.) Sum up multiple objects as one object?
2.) Does it have a negative effect on the performance?
Another idea was to have an object that loads html-files, but that would rather be an utopia - and how can you start programs from html... .

Not sure if that is what you are getting at though.
