Problems with Icon X since update to latest beta of Desktop X
Tuesday, August 17, 2004 by BlueDev | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hay all, just thought I would mention this. Since I updated to the most recent version of Desktop X tonight, once I started it up my Icon X settings were all gone. The icon stayed small, the text was thin and black and didn't seem to respond to the "Clear Type" setting, and I there were no "Themes" as there were with older versions. No normal, no bold and bright, none of those options. Any ideas?

Same here, and if you try to load a theme its a no go, even if you type in the theme? Can you roll back?

Nice idea C C, but nope, that isn't what I was looking for. This only occured since I updated to the most recent version of Desktop X (2.19n[b].003). I have Icon X on my system (0.99[b].003). I have uninstalled both applications, cleared out their folders, restarted my computer, reinstalled, restarted again, then ran them and have the same problems. Icon X makes my icons look great and fancy, just like I have come to love. Desktop X makes them look ugly. Well, okay, it doesn't do anything to the icon, just makes the text look terrible. Not the same problem as in the link you provided, but thanks for giving it a shot.

Yes, absolutely, DesktopX 2.19n[b].003 has major problems with IconX. I had to make a rollback. I will wait for the next version...

Unfortunately I didn't have autoarchive before updating turned on so I am stuck until they fix the problem. Unless I want to go all the way back to 2.10.

Whith the last installation of DesktopX beta the themes for iconX was put
under DesktopX\Themes. There are 4 of them (*.ixtheme).If you make a
directory under IconX with the name Themes and put there the ixtheme-files
then you can choose the theme from the first configuration tab for IconX
configuguration when you are running DesktopX. With IconX standalone the
version of IconX is older and is using the directory Presets under IconX.
The file type has also been chaged, it was .states before so if you did make
some presets they are there and you can change the file type to .ixtheme and
copy then to the IconX\Themes directory.
