2 stupid questions
Snapping & Ocacity
Friday, January 13, 2006 by BAL0228 | Discussion: Beginners
Hi!
1st question: I have got a GT3 CPU monitor, recycle bin and digital clock. The first one snaps to screen edges, the other 2 don't, while at first they did. Does anyone know why?
2nd question (this is where the shame kicks in): I have got this HardestButtonToButton widget, real handy. Last time I made it invisible so you wouldn't see it...problem is now I can't find it anymore.
When loading it I don't see it (duh), and moving my mouse all across the screen didn't work neither. Maybe for some reason the ''Enable mouse over'' and ''Enable sound effects'' are unchecked, so now I have no idea where it is. Is there some way to change the opacity without knowing where the widget is or something?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks!
1: it's a widget, but I'm just a sucker for screen edge snapping, don't ask why
2: i don't see a widget cache, is it a folder? displaying hidden folders doesn't help neither...

Mmm...weird....when you set the opacity to completely invisible, the widget loses all it's functionality...when you set the bar to 1 pixel before complete invisibility however, it works just fine

#1 - If it's an Object, right click, Properties and lock it. Widgets stay where ever you put them.
#2 - Kill the widget process in Taskmgr. Open C:\Documents and Settings\'User'\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock\DesktopX\Widget Cache and clean it out. Re-start Widget
