When can we expect an IconX update?

Is this new version of DesktopX going to be 100% compatible with the new IconX? The two haven’t been nice to each other since DesktopX version 2.3

I think the plan of splitting the two up in hopes of generating more IconX buzz has failed miserably. Will we see these two programs back together again?

It breaks my heart.

I'll be looking forward to this. Hopefully it will finally clear up the blank icons issue in IconX.

I always get "windows can not find IconX.exe" when I shutdown Windows XP. It would be wonderful if that problem went away.

IconX will never be back with DesktopX I'm afraid.  But we've been doing a lot of work with IconX.

DesktopX is so cool. I never knew I could have so much fun with my desktop. I look forward to the new one.

With DesktopX Pro 3.09c[b].002 it crashes when I rightclick the systray icon. (Windows' systray) But it works fine when running in client mode.

Ok, I now know the crash was related to using the non-standard language file.

But I have found something else. I was trying to play around with Controller scripts, but it doesn't seem to work. I took the example code from the documentations:


Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
DesktopX.RegisterController Object.Name
End Sub

Function OnControl(lType, lCode)
'added this code my self - never triggers
script.msgbox lType & lCode
Object.Text = "lType: " & lType & vbcrlf & "lCode: " & lCode
End Function

'test code to see if the object processed scripting at all
Function Object_OnLButtonUp(x,y,d)
Object.Text = x & y & d 'this triggers
End Function

Does the object actually has a non-blank name?

I personally am glad that IconX split from DesktopX, since I hated running DX just for the icons.
