Having a Longhorn Desktop now

Brad's Toybox, November 14, 2003

from JoeUser Forums

Been having a lot of fun at work lately. Very busy but still incredibly fun.  For one thing, been working on a bunch of different programs at once. Namely:

  • DesktopX and DesktopX Pro
  • IconDeveloper
  • WindowBlinds 4.2

Today I discovered the joy of combining Flash and DesktopX together. Holy cow can you do some neat stuff. I took a Flash Tetris game and turned it into a DesktopX object.

I also made a movie of my desktop for this month. Here's a screenshot of it:

Way cool! I had the sound off but got the gist ;) Just kidding, I watched (and listened to) the movie. So, it was about 6:30 and 41 degrees out. Better bundle up and go home :)

Help, I can hear you talking about your desktop but am not seeing a thing. What am I lacking on my new computer causing this. I do have Windows Media Player but nothing's showing up. Again, help!
ObjectDock - Access shortcuts and frequently used applications from an animated dock.

You may need to upgrade to Media Player 9.

Got it but still have some tinkering to do with it - hopefully I'll figure out how to make it clear now. Thanks.
