Lock z-order?

GraphicsKat — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 8:22:49 AM -0500

I'm trying to create a desktop in which almost every image is a DesktopX object. It's a realistic depiction of an actual desk, with the objects on it in perspective. Some of these images overlap a bit - the lamp sticking out from behind the computer monitor, for example - and I would really like to keep them from jumping to the top when I click on them. I set the z-order for each of them at Desktop Level, but I don't think that effects this problem. Is there any way to keep the layers in thei...

Can anybody give me a clue to build an object that works to search files on the computer... or in the web could be interesting.

Thanks in advance!

RedneckDude — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 7:30:29 PM -0500

Hey guys, just wanted to ask if anyone using DesktopX and DisplayFusion is having the same problem.

Every time I load a DesktopX theme, DisplayFusion crashes.

Windows 7, 64 bit.

DX 4 beta (3.96)

DisplayFusion 3.41

Didn't happen with DX 3.5.

I want to connect Desktopx Builder and Rainmeter.

I want to connect Desktopx Builder and Rainmeter.

DesktopX 3.5 Pro

RedneckDude — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:10:28 AM -0500

Guys I need some help here. And I need it badly.

Finally taking the plunge and uninstalling Impulse. On installing DX Pro 3.5 from the Stardock Store I find that DX will load and run, but any and all scripted items won't run.

This is definitely not good...lol. Can a redneck get some support over here? Please.....

DesktopX Runtime 3.5

ddraney — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 6:12:07 PM -0500

When inputting my serial into DesktopX, I get a message stating my serial doesn't appear to work with this installer...I've been using the serial from my list of purchased apps from the Stardock store. Any ideas?

DXScript window won't appear

Hobodoc — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 7:34:39 AM -0500

Anyone have an idea, suggestion, or similar experience with the DXScript window not appearing when clicking on the "New" button correlating to the script function when you create a new object in DestTopX? I installed DestTopX and DeskTopX Pro and was going through David Roman's tutorial. At the scripting section, the DXScript window won't appear, though after hitting "New" the other buttons appropriately change to "Remove" and "Edit". The Remove button cau...

New user with a question before I get carried away

Weidbrewer — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:13:34 AM -0500

Hey, all - long time Stardock user, new to DesktopX. What brought me to this is the fact that I can't find a meter out there to fit my exact needs. I really like the All CPU Meter, and use it on my gaming rig, but there is something it (and all other meters I've found out there) is lacking: a GPU meter. There are a few stand-alone GPU meters I've found, but I'd really like a meter with everything in one. Also, since I have a spare (smallish) monitor just f...

Simple Date Widget Not Updating

DirhyllyktDoc — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 8:12:18 PM -0500

It's been a long time since I posted here, I've been out of the desktopx loop until recently when I was able to return to it.

I originally began working on a Steampunk theme, with animated icons, wallpaper, date and calendar app, and a weather widget. This theme is currently still in process and not available for download as of yet, and at this time ONLY used on my own private workstation. Once I've completed the project and received permissions responses it will be made available...

Invalid zip code when running weather widgets

jag4710 — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:37:09 PM -0500

My computer was shutdown incorrectly when the breaker in my apartment went off. Now, when I run a weather widget, I get an invalid zip code error. I uninstalled and reinstalled DesktopX, but it didn't help. I cleared the widget cache, but I still get the same error. Does anyone have any suggestions? I never had any problems running anything in DesktopX before this.

DX Player Problem

RedneckDude — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 11:32:47 PM -0500

I seem to be intermittently having a problem where the DesktopX player volume fader button will "flash" in and out when sliding.

The button shows, then disappears, then shows, etc....

Anyone else seeing this and any idea why, or how to fix it?

About to buy Object Desktop which has DesktopX -Question.

BarJabba — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 4:50:56 PM -0400

Hi Folks!

I am about to take the plunge. I am having a bit of confusion about Object Desktop, which comes with a slew of apps. One being DesktopX, which is one of the apps I thought I had to buy separately at 1st. Does this work on Windows 7 x64? I looked at the system requirements for Object Desktop and it lists DesktopX under XP (only). What gives?

I hope I don't have to buy more by the way of UPDATES, to get all these nice apps to all work on Windows 7 ...

OK, I gotta ask!

RedneckDude — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 10:05:19 PM -0400

OK, I know this has been asked and asked. But I really need to know, are there going to be any new versions of DX? Is there a future at all for it or am I just limited to what I have?

It's been so long since anyone Stardock has even responded to this question. Could someone step up and give a definitive answer please?

Brad, wanna talk?

Newbie interested in DX

Kilian_Deathwing — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 3:56:22 PM -0400

I'm new to this sort of thing, and was interested in learning more about DX. I had some ideas that would be great if I could get them sorted. To make into custom desktops for my PC. One major bump in the road is I have little knowledge of scripting, so I doubt I could pull things off. There are two distinct ideas I had.

1. Keypad

This was the first idea I had. To make things like more of a "security" issue, rather than anything else.

Basically there would be a place to typ...
