Keep a Word - Drop a Word

angus1949 — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 05:02:00 -0400

Quite simple: I start off with 2 words. The next person keeps one of the words and replaces the dropped word with another.

Examples: Run fast

Fast cars

Cars rock

My word to start: Christmas holiday

Weather Script Component

Littleboy — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 02:28:11 -0400

Hey all!

It seems there wasn't enough Weather threads, so I decided to have my own .

For the past few days, I've been working on a weather script component. It takes the form of an independent .wsc script file that you reference in your widget script (setting up license info and registering callbacks), calling a few methods and getting weather/location/alert data in the form of a script object with several properties.

Using this new script means rewriting a lot of the e...

Skinners look here!

2of3 — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 01:56:05 -0400

I've been working on a new blind these days and I'm now nearing completion.

I'm liking how it's turning out, but I think it would be nice to make this an entire suite. That's where YOU come in. I'm looking for some talented artists to help me complete the suite

The skins so far:

Solid State on Vista

On Xp

Rainlendar and docks

I'd love to see a matching icon package and whatever other skins that you all want to do!

Finish The Sentence.

messiah1 — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 00:41:22 -0400

The rules:

I'll start a sentence with a word (one word only) and the next poster will finish the sentence. Then, on a new line, that poster will start a new sentence with one word (one word only please). The finished sentence can be as long as it needs to be in order to complete the sentence, however, make sure it's only one sentence. Here we go.

But where do I download my game? I did a digital download of Demigod and I cannot figure out where to download it at. I think I have to download it through Impulse, which is not working for me at the moment.... But if anyone knows where I download it that would be very nice information to have.

Wallpaper problem in DesktopX

ackland — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:38:19 -0400

I have created a desktop theme, complete with a wallpaper I downloaded. My problem is, that whenever I switch to Desktop Client, the wallpaper disappears and is replaced with a solid grey/black colour.
I am also running a windowsblinds theme with the same wallpaper selected. However...every time I reboot, the wallpaper is replaced by the same flat grey colour.
I have tried clearing the cache...I have the same wallpaper selected in Control Panel.Display, as well.
What am I doing wrong?

Logon files with same name

hg3300 — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:36:27 -0400

When I try to load logon files of similar names e.g. Name001 & Name002 the software tells me "Name" already exists. Do you want to overwrite it?

Now, obviously these are 2 different files that I want to load. Why is the software cutting off the file names and telling me they are the same? How can I fix this problem?

Fences incompatibility with ATI MultiDesk

Wiley__Coyote — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:36:05 -0400

Hi,

Fences is a great program but I noticed an incompatibilty with ATI's MultiDesk program--a desktop enhancement which is used by millions.

MutliDesk, a Windows XP/Vista tray app, creates virtual desktops which you can alternate between with a mouse click (much like the default desktop behavior in most versions of Linux). Icons are shared between desktops, but each desktop can have different application windows open. It's a real sweet capability to have in Windows an...

Impulse and Windows 7 betas

Vicsan — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:31:03 -0400

Hello! I recently installed Impulse on Windows 7 RC 1 and want to try the betas of WindowBlinds and IconPackager. Unfortunately Impulse is not offering the beta versions. There is an option in the Impulse Now tray applete to show beta versions, but enabling it didn't help. Is there something else that needs to be done? I have a current subscription to OD. TIA

5 Letter Sentence Game

angus1949 — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:19:01 -0400

Here is how it works. I am going to give 5 letters. It can be a word or just random letters. You have to make a sentence from the letters I gave you and then you give 5 letters to the next person.

Example: mbdgw
