Reply to OB won't use current WB skin in ObjectBar Stardock Forums

Right here: https://forums.stardock.com/?ForumID=190&AID=88751 Basically, pick a WB skin that has multiple skins within it, and you can select from one of those multiples and then it will work. For those, but not the skins w/o multiple versions (which is most of them). Then my box Blue-screened (not related to stardock software at all) and after that OB started using skins again like it should, and has worked every since. Weird. It's all described at the link above

Reply to OB won't use current WB skin in ObjectBar Stardock Forums

I had the same problem with the skins. It ended up fixing itself, but I can't remember how. Somewhere in these forums I posted about the same thing, and posted what I did that got it working with the WB skins again, though it might have just been a coincidence. I don't think that that posting was under the Object Bar forums. I think i posted it elsewhere by accident. IF I find it I'll post a link here. As far as the aplication menus, I *think* its the "Special Function" item (?)

Reply to Icon annoyances in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Yes, I've played with Icon Developer in the past and like it a lot. I understand that this is a workaround, and it's not too much of a pain for the odd icon or two, etc. I do think being able to make the formats more universal (allowing each app to read all formats) is a more elegant solution, esp. if someone is dealing with a bunch of images that they want to put together for a theme. They can save them all as pngs and/or package them as an icl for a single location to go to for ALL of their

Icon annoyances in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

They way icons work in Object Desktop are a bit annoying. Object Doc can use PNGs and individual icos, and icos extracted from exes. Object Bar can use individual icos, and icons inside of icls, but not pngs. For example there is an icon within a theme that I am using in the icl file. If I want to use that icon for IE on Object Dock I cannot unless there is a png or seperate icon that is the same image. I think that across ALL stardock applications we

Reply to OB 2 crash = bad in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

A reboot did NOT fix this. Uponreboot OB crashed immediately upon trying to load up (starts w/ windows). Here is the data from the event/application log (I notice it lists the version as 2.0.0.739 - the About gives a build # of 715 - is this correct?): Faulting application objectbar.exe, version 2.0.0.739, faulting module objectbar.exe, version 2.0.0.739, fault address 0x0001af05.

OB 2 crash = bad in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

OK, running OB 2 preview1 build 715 I was editing some menus, when OB crashed. When I started it back up, in the left-hand side of the basic editor all of the new features are now missing (RSS feeds, etc.). Basically the Basic Editor now has only the features that the 1.65.007 version had. Now in the menus where I have my RSS feeds configged it's just blank, like I configured nothing. Also my IE UR

Reply to ObjectBar 2 beta updated in ObjectBar Stardock Forums

Getting tired of me yet? Another enhancement... When I use text on the TopBar (or any bar or menu) I would like to have control over the font. The size, the type face, and the color, and I would like to have this control in both the normal state, and in a selected state. Lets say I have a popup menu on the bar. The theme is a white color scheme with black text. However when I move

Reply to ObjectBar 2 beta updated in ObjectBar Stardock Forums

Update: My computer blue-screened (not related to stardock in anyway). Anyway, when I rebooted the machine, I can now use the current window blinds skins for the object bar. I had rebooted before and it had not helped. Who every heard of a BSoD being a good thing? Weird... Alex F/Brain21

Reply to ObjectBar 2 beta updated in ObjectBar Stardock Forums

OK, more info on the skinning... If I select (Top Bar) Change Skin->Use skin from another theme and that theme that I select has MORE THAN ONE SKIN then(!) I can load up any one of the multiple skins. However, if that theme has only 1 skin, I can't load that skin up. Use WB skins still doesn't work. As far as the bar size stuff I set a menu size to min=100, max=100 and it did nothing. Also I just discovered the advanced editor whihc is ONLY accessable be creati

Reply to ObjectBar 2 beta updated in ObjectBar Stardock Forums

OK, running the v2.0 Preview 1 build 715. I see NO changes over 1.65.007. Everything looks exactly the same. I looked for the CPU & other stuff (under plugins, Other, multifunction, etc.) and didn't see them. Is there something else that I must do? I unloaded and reloaded OB to no avail. Same old skin problems as well... Can't get anything other than the white BG unless I use a completely different theme! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/sd_com/smiles/Mad.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmidd

Reply to ObjectBar 2 beta updated in ObjectBar Stardock Forums

Downloading the new beta right now (BTW, your server is SLLLOWWW - I am on an OC line with VERY high bandwidth, and it has taken a good 5-10 minutes and I am only up to 50% - and I am ONLY Updating ObjectBar. Last time I did an update was 10-7 and it took hours (I updated about 6 or 7 programs). Anyway, I have had some problems w/ ObjectBar. Maybe they are fixed in this beta, maybe not, but just in case here are the enhancements/bugs that I would LOVE to see fixed in the 2.0 releas

Reply to Help with creating DX app in DesktopX Stardock Forums

OK, here's the thing... I have been playing with this and thought that it would be pretty easy. It is pretty easy, but I ran into a slight glitch. I created a test app configured like so: 1 background object 2 toggle objects (A & B) 2 display objects (Y & Z) All objects are obviously placed on the background object. The display & toggle objects are just a few random icon-sized jpgs that I picked out to put on a 5"x3" plain

Help with creating DX app in DesktopX Stardock Forums

I am buyilding a media server at home, and want to create a DX interface for it. If you've seen XP Media Center or Xbox Media Center, you get the idea, but I don't necessarily want this to be a full screen app. I can create the main interface as a DX desktop and launch stuff from there, but I want to do it a little differently. I want the whole thing to be 1 big DX object(s), rather than an integral part of the DX desktop. THis way I can pu

Another thing... I have ObjectBar running at the top of my screen. Whenever I lock my PC and then unlock it, basically the ObjectBar appears and then pushes down the big sidebar thingy. That is, it pushes it further down the Y axis on the left-hand side of the screen. After locking & unlocking my PC a few times, it is at the bottom of the screen, and I can't access it w/o unloading & reloading desktopX. What is going on is

Chaging font colors in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

This is using ObjectBar and Window blinds, latest version of both, I updated them earlier this week. Running WinXP SP1 I am using the "Flexx" WB skin currently. My Object Bar is a bar at the top of my desktop (kinda like a mac) where I have drop down menus for folder or shortcuts to programs, etc. The ObjectBar is set to use the WindowBlinds skin. On the ObjectBar, I have most of mine set to "Icon and text", but some are just set t

I can reproduce this DesktopX crash consistantly on several machines both at home and at work, running different themes. Both machines are running WinXP SP1 and DesktopX 2.40f[a].002 Running Airlock at home, and I can't remember which one at work, but was able to do it with the Incredibles, and ANY desktopX theme that has that big bar area on the left-hand side of the screen. Don't know what it's called, but you know the bar that has
