How about a gadget that can do all of my scheduling, mapping, and paperwork for me?

Nice idea, but how about a gadget that tells us when JoeUser is up too...I heard it's gone down to for a while.

RomanDA I would be glad to do some of the artwork!

I am getting very interested in DX.

I actually have been working on a mini Space game right now! I have not gotten very far though,I still do don,t understand enough scripting. ;p

Actually I think that's a fab idea.  Kind of an instant compliment or affirmation. He he.  And hey I want a Spongebob Quote.  That's what makes me laugh.  Spongebob quotes. 

Nice WB skin   :CONGRAT:

Thank ya sir!!

over 90% done now

Above screen shot should say I Have 3 STYLES OF SHIPS and $ approach angles

I did it again ok try 3! ;p

I've done a lots of unfinished projects (its cause I always want to make them bigger.)
A b'day game- I made a desktop mode and 10 stages for it but then I wanted to make automatic unlimited stages. It will take time to do so.
A Mac type dock- I was almost done with it and thought of submitting it on 1st Jan. But then I thought of making it more customizable.
A wallchanger- I wanted to expand it to slideshow of your list, screensaver,saving lists so Its still unfinished.
I knew that I will need a lots of time to do these things so I planned to finish them in these summer vacations. But alas I am spending my holidays in something crazy. I think I'll make my mind to get out of that crush and do some skinning, too.

I would like help in making a visualization window come open in a frame at a set location. My media players don't use visualizations because I have never been able to figure out how to make that vis. window show anywhere but the upper left corner of the monitor.

Also, I would love to have a script that would make a widget configurable. Like the ones made by vad_m.

I love all these ideas, keep in mind im trying to figure out what i can and cant do based on time, brain power, and pc setup (ie no vista).

1. Started on a way to drag/drop/upload pics to photo bucket but i cannot seem to make it work due to how the post/get feature in DX works, i have some ideas on how to maybe make this work with a IE "frame". It wouldnt be a pretty but it could still work in a small area. Have to look into that. The idea was to add this functionality into the File TransPorter.

2. I think there could be some cool games, i like that space game (above) it could work by using the cross-hair around and then picking a "square" of points inside that area and see if any of the ships are in that "square". Then you would need some kind of "explosion" or something. This could be doable. Will play with a VERY simple version of it later (in a few days, got crud going on right now).

3. There is a Quote widget out there somewhere, i think. Those are pretty easy to make.
Basically a txt/ini file that reads in the items into an "array" then picks a random one at a set time or on a btn click. I just showed someone how to make this code on another thread. Found it: Link

Keep 'em coming - have to get my butt back to work.

I'd could use an easy icon changer for Vista. Something I could drag a desktop shortcut and an icon to and switch it.Any shortcut and any icon,with the ability to either restore the last used icon,or use the OS default.

I think VAD_M did something like that on one of his dock/themes.. it read the icon from the program and than added it to the dx object.

I know this is an older thread, but:

- I'd like to have a way to 'draw' using DX. For example, It would be nice to be able to create a 'Line' object and tell it to draw a line from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2), or a 'circle/polygon' object and tell it to draw a circle or polygon at (x,y,radius,numofsides), etc... The objects would have states, properties that could be set, scriptable, etc...

- I'd like have a way to import 3-D model data (.DXF, .3DS, .OBJ) into an object (i.e. instead of each object state having an 'object.picture' property, an 'object.model' property would be cool

I know these are most likely not possible because DX does not have a 'drawing engine' or a '3-D engine'... (:(  I don't know if this would be possible by way of ActiveX controls or dircectly accessing the Windows APIs.

- A couple of 'design tools' would be useful:

- a drag&drop 'form/object designer' would be cool (to allow a DX user to easily build a 'form-like' object or a larger object. (By 'form-like'I mean a window with objects (input boxes, radio buttons, titles, tabs,graphic objects, etc.) like the form designer in Visual Basic or Microsoft Office.

- a right click popup menu designer, with properties like in thomassen's textbox object
WWW Link

- an easy to use and configure(with different options) 'reflection' object - which makes a reflection of the parent object or group. (Using Imagemagic).

Does DX support LOGO with Turlte? 

A Cairo drawing plugin (like in Yahoo Widgets) will allow you to do something like that (except shapes won't be DX objects). Maybe in the future

Isn't there already an object in the gallery that does that?

Julien dives into his experiments folder

I have a few scripts to do that already, maybe 80% done. It needs a little bit of work to use the Microsoft.XmlHttp instead of System.DownloadFile (and drop the dependency on "Shell.Application", but you can ignore that if you only want the latest additions). I'd say a few hours would get you a fully working script.

I also have a widget to go with that, but that one still needs a huge amount of work (as in 20+ hours in scripting and graphics work).

A really simple widget that only shows you the latest skin name, author, preview and other info (along with a library filter) can probably be done in a few hours. Let me know if you're interesting in working together on that.

Even I want to chip in with an Idea I want a DX gadget that is able to tell me the latest happenings on WC in a nutshell..

News,Threads,Walls like the most happening stuff on WC which is like moving at the bottom in the ribbon

Middle portion of the gadget - Just the screenshot or the pic of the day and the top portion the WC logo...the gadget background...black glass....

Even a Sidebar gadget will be awesome ....always in touch with WC :)

Kind-of. It uses the Imagemagic dll. The way it is setup now, you drag an image onto it and it displays the image and reflects it. What I'm talking about is the ability to give the hypothetical 'reflection' object the name of a parent object or group and have it automatically place the reflection (which would be configurable) centered and below the parent. The reflection should change as the parent changes states. If the parent's image animates, the reflection should animate also, etc..

This could be used as a companion type object to enhance the appearance of other objects. It seems like reflections are en vogue right now...

Skin checker?  https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=1086&libid=34

No not them..they are good but not updated to match the new and innovative desktop themes..walls and the entire setup. nyways thanks Zubaz for the links..i think i have the Skin Checker somewhere...already downloaded.

It seems that WC browser do the same... However you want to see a little widget on your desktop instead of large browser! This make a sense!


No problem! I know how to make it and I'll try to make it in a future. Unfortunately all of my time is much busy now - I'm working on a new version of Media Player and I'm only in a halfway to the end. This project is very and very complex... So please wait a bit!
