Using DesktopX as screensaver?
Monday, June 28, 2004 by DarionFawkes | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I was contemplating how I could use my DesktopX fishies as a screensaver. I thought of putting the "show desktop" command in the task scheduler, but that didn't work as it only runs once per day. Any suggestions?

I'm not a DX scripter (yet) but I think with a little effort I can manage it. I assume its possible to set the Z-order in script. Can I make one fish the "leader" so that if he's behind everything, all of the fishes linked to him are? I have some experience in other programming languages and script languages, so I am not too worried about the complexity. Thanks though. I thought there might be a simple way, it almost seems like it should be a built in option.

Well, I don't know about one fish being the "leader", but you can group a set of fish, then you can "see" the fish as one big group instead of individual fish, know what I mean?
