Scripts, tutorials, and general Desktop X help
Published on May 2, 2009 By sViz In Sneak Previews

 

Experimenting with this one. Trying my hand at a bunch of new functions. Desktop icons arrange in the petri dishes at the bottom. It scrolls on hover. I'm hoping to have several custom file icons. 

The large molecule in the middle is the wall. I centered it on a 2560x2048 canvas so it's rez independent. That allows me to position the black icons on top of them in DX. The smaller red orb moves in a circular perspective effect. At the very least, I expect to make a few more templates from this theme.

That's what I'm leaining towards. Just have to decide which piece of CPU info is most relevant to display.

Thanks everyone!

 

Several frustrating bugs and a few crashes later, and we're coming in the home stretch, now!

We've got color options (I couldn't limit myself to just one color...even if it was my favorite. ) There's 9 color mutations, something for everyone. I'll be uploading the wallpaper pack separately, otherwise it'll be one HUGE theme file. Don't think I'll do the black version, after all.

The custom icon total comes to 12: text, word, folder, ini, shortcut, url, web document, exe, image, video, audio, and everything else falls under plain document.

Added system info and ability to change the wallpaper.

 

Just a couple more scripts to do. Beta testing...coming soon!

It's beta testing day! I think I got all of the kinks worked out, but please let me know if there's anything screwy going on with the theme.

There's a screenshot with all the specs included in the zip.

I got a script error when I ran it

There has been a script error in object "dsktp_back"

To correct the error, click "disable and edit' below

file not found

Line: 74

Code:

move my mouse anywhere below " R E D " and I get a basic e-w resizer cursor

tried to add a new menu and lost the 'aero gadgets' short cut

but i still like it

Hmm. The first menu that loads by default is everything from your desktop. I have a hunch what it might be...do any of the shortcuts, specifically folders, on your desktop have period in their file names? This caused an error in a different project I once worked on and it might be the same catch22 here.

When you create a new menu, it will be blank, save for the My Computer shortcut. To restore the previous menu click on the menu options icon and choose it from the list.

The resizer cursor is just to indicate that moving the mouse left or right will slide the menu (if there are enough shortcuts)
