Saving a theme

Thursday, October 27, 2005 by JohnnyPants | Discussion: DesktopX

Hi, Im trying to save my current desktop theme on my pc at this time...I have gone to the menus at one point and saved it in the theme folder, but I dont see it there even though it was saved in that directory with all the other themes...Is there a proper way to save a theme...Thanx

builder mode, desktopx helper, save desktop or save desktop as...i use save desktop as when i modify one and just add to the name, then i still have the original plus my version of it.

Thanx, all good now...I have another prob which u may know how to fix...When Desktop X is running, and when I try to open any program it will freeze when my mouse is in motion moving over any one of my programs...I assume its a mouse conflict, but dont know where to fix it from...Thanx

Yupp they are up to date...Is it possible that after installing a new Logitech mouse and then un-installing it that my current Logitech mouse is conflicting with the old software even thought it was removed...I just remembered that...Thanx again...

I'm learning that pretty much anything is a possibility. After the uninstall did you reboot?

Yupp, did a reboot...I have to use the keyboard to access the Program menu, and again to access the sub folders. After that program opens Im able to use the mouse without it ever freezeing again. It just seems to freeze at the start cux my desktop X theme doesn'l load at the start, I have to do it thrwe the ODC and load new desktop...Thanx

which program is that, the mouse or desktopx?

in the SDC browser, tools, settings, general, do you have the smart startup enabled?

Start up is enabled...When I turn on the pc it will load my old desktop only..I then have to go to Start, programs, chose Desktop X and then load the new Theme...All this is done using the keyboard, except when I press start, mouse will allow that function...

do you have dtx set to run at startup? right click systray icon, configure, preferences.

If dtx is not running at startup, and you can't use your mouse...i'm guessing the conflict is in the mouse somewhere.

after installing a new Logitech mouse and then un-installing it that my current Logitech mouse is conflicting with the old software even thought it was removed


is the order correct here? what i'm reading is you installed a new mouse, then uninstalled that mouse. Is you current mouse the new mouse or the old mouse? and did you uninstall the old one or the new one?

Sorry for the confusion, I uninstalled the new mouse and currently using the old mouse. When I did the initial install, I named the program Logitech 2. I looked for it in the add/remove list and did not see it there. I think it maybe running somewhere but dunno where to look...Thanx

Can you find it in your all programs list? programs folder?

How did you uninstall it, if you couldn't find it?
