Personalise downloaded theme
Sunday, April 24, 2005 by Ptichat | Discussion: DesktopX
Hi,
I have downloaded the theme Darkzone (which is really wonderfull).I have customed the link about internet etc, but i have a problem with the 7 objects on the left (internet/graphics/office/customize/utilities/media/shortcuts).I can't find the way to change the title, i have searched and searched for a long time, but no way.
As i'm french i would like to turn them into french and change some things i won't use for others titles,but i don't know where are written these titles.
If someone could help me it would be very nice
Another question:
I have seen a lot of weather objects, but i don't know if it's possible to make them work in France
If someone has a solution, a link to a website where i could find codes for french towns it would be nice too
Ps:
Sorry, for my poor english
Here is the link to the theme i'm talking about:

Thanks a lot
//it's ok for the weather problem, it was very simple in fact ^^

I don't have "Darkzone" so you will have to check something for me. Since you were able to personalize the shortcuts, I assume you know how to get into DesktopX builder and how to use it:
First right click on one of the tabs (e.g. the one labelled 'Internet') > Properties > States.
1) if "Text" is chosen in the 'Appearance' tab, you can just modify the text in the box on the 'Appearance' tab.
2) if "Image" is chosen on the 'Appearance' tab. You will have to write down the name of the image used. Then go to the folder where your Darkzone.desktop is stored, change the extension *.deskop to *.zip and unzipp the theme (make sure you immediately change the extension back again after you unzipped). Browse this newly created folder containing the theme for the image and modify this image in your graphics/paint-program (e.g. Photoshop).
Once you have modified the file save it under a new name. Then go back to your loaded Darkzone-theme, right-click again on the same button > Properties > States > and hit "Browse" on the 'Apperance'-tab. Browse for the file you just created and hit 'apply' and then 'ok'

go to weather.com find the town you want:Link - notice that when you run your cursor over the towns you get a code in the staus bar - or if you click the link the code is at the end of the address. Example - Bordeaux is FRXX0016.
I'm not sure if all the weather objects take other countries - I know some do.
