Reply to The Beginning of Birth Pangs in Misc Stardock Forums

I noticed one thing you haven't mentioned in your article is the Rapture. Perhaps it's not a theory you subscribe to (in which case I'm glad). Perhaps we are headed for the end, perhaps not. There have been signs for centuries that people were positive that the second coming was about to happen and they were wrong then. It's possible they'll be wrong now. Jesus told us not to worry about the day to day things. To trust in God who clothes the fields and fe

Reply to DesktopX 3.5 Guided Tour in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

How about the actual release? I renewed my Object Desktop subscription because the email I got said that all new versions were coming out "any day now" (don't exactly recall when they said, but it implied shortly) - that was back in September. I've been hearing about DesktopX 3.5 for quite some time and ObjectDock still hasn't been updated since October. I too saw something about version 4 of DesktopX - does that mean 3.5 is not happening and when is v4 going to be released?<b

Reply to DesktopX 3.5 Guided Tour in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I see from the site it still says "version 3.5 is coming out this month", but it doesn't specify which month I saw comment above stating something about version 4? Is 3.5 going to ship or will you all jump straight to 4? When will we get a better manual on writing widgets? The tutorials that exist are "OK" - but not in the least bit comprehensive and the help available is basically

I think we could also call "carbon credits" indulgences. And if I remember my history correctly (I graduated from public school before they started revising history) - Martin Luther had an issue with the prelates in Germany selling these indulgences to get into heaven. He was correct in saying that it was allowing the wealthy to buy their way into heaven (which you can't do, regardless of what a piece of paper says) and part of his complaint to the C

Reply to Must a Presidential Candidate Believe in God? in Religion JoeUser Forums

Mormons do not believe that Jesus is God in the same way that Christian's believe he is God. What they believe is that when Jesus died, he became a God and was given his own planet and people to worship him. (God is the "god" of this planet - and no relation to Jesus). They believe that when they die, those who were good and faithful Mormons will become Gods themselves and be given their own worlds to populate and be worshipped in. This onl

Reply to Some stuff about ObjectBar 2 in ObjectBar Stardock Forums

How do you get the object bar on the secondary monitor? I run the program and it replaces my system bar on my primary and I couldn't find any options to get it to move.

Reply to More info on development in DesktopX Development Stardock Forums

I have read both of your articles and they were a big help in understanding how to get started. But now I'm looking to get a little deeper into the product, but find the included documentation a little short of what I need. For instance, how do I create a "form" object? I think this is what I need to put a scrolling text region on my object, but I'll be darned if I can reverse engineer another component to figure it out. Any sug

I'm interested in creating some widgets for DesktopX, however I find that the "Developers Guide" is somewhat lacking in how to go about doing this. Something simple like using an image as my "window" for the app, and then writing text to the widget is not explained in any clear manner. I finally did figure out part of it, but I haven't been able to figure out how to make it scroll (the text is too long for the window). Are there any books
