So what's being developed?

Thursday, May 5, 2005 by _Martin_ | Discussion: DesktopX Development

Just wondering what's on the horizon for DX?

I know I've been out of the loop for a bit, but everything seems to have gone really quiet since the release of DX3.

Any chance of finding out what's being developed?

Any chance that we're doing anything re the following? :

1) Scripting fonts (face, size, bold etc)
2) Font styles - defining styles so these can be quickly applied to objects rather that manually configuring the font's for them each time? Even the ability to define a default mouse away, mouse over state etc would be a good start.

Cheers,

Martin

I think that Microsoft really need to look at the whole concept of DesktopX and have it built into Windows Longhorn. It really is very powerful. A year ago, I wouldnt of dreamt of being able to make a stand-alone program with fancy graphics with a quick program turnaround. I bought the Pro version of it as I was looking forward to selling my gadgets on DesktopGadgets.com. Unfortunately, it is taking longer than I would like to see the website up and running. Any ideas on timescale now?

Stardock, keep up the excellent work with DesktopX.

p.s. I would also like to see some development re the fonts. It is very frustrating not being able to change the font type, size etc on a certain event in the script.
