[VS] Active HTML desktop

[kombolcha]

ignore my last post.. i edited it from scratch again..

i really don't get what the problem is..

this time its on Line 56 Character 37

something to do with "('"

i checke in Dreamweaver and there were no errors in it.

[orestes]

But I think that would kill the "minimalist" look I was aiming for :p

I don't think a calendar like this would 'ruin the minimal' look of your desktop if it was included.....no more than incorporating winamp buttons into it :rolleyes:

The winamp controls only take up a tiny bit of room.... ffs

[drealiT]

seems i gotta play with the winamp coding a bit... it's quite buggy at the moment.

for instance, double clicking on a button for some odd reason (or double clicking on the notes area perhaps for highlighting) cause winamp to close and it clear out it's playlist area.

[madcat75]

Yeah... its designed to do that.

I believe that the first one that brought an acrtivedesktop to the visual styles scene WAS NOT the guy from something aweful....it was Matt from NTFS.org forums which is called now OSNN forums...either the guy from SA is too late or he stole the idea :woot:

[drealiT]

it's designed so that when you double click anywhere basically... it'll close winamp and clear out the playlist?

[madcat75]

Yeah that's right... but the first set of double clicks shows what song is playing.

Please post the HTML code for your doom 3 shortcut so I can see what the problem is.

file:///C:/Program%20Files/Doom%203/Doom3.exe

The rest of my shortcuts work, they all have similar things taht point to exe's

[:No-Frost:]

I had a noob problem :p

Ok, I want to make a Box (box = square to put the info and scripts) in dreamweaver...But I don't know the command for that mmm "square"

So I want to add a script to open the next stuff:

C:/

D:/

F:/

G:/

A:/

And the look...

Well, like the look of the menu's on your image... like:

. . : : My Computer

c:

d:

etc...

every time I apply the theme I get this error:

I love this concept and have been using active desktop for some time.

I have taken the liberty of making a small modification for the weather "element".

I have made the ..::weather heading a link to display the weather page (wunderground) for your Zip Code.

I have also added the City, State and the update time to the display.

Here is what it looks like...

If you are so inclined, here is how to do it...

In the getWeatherUpdate() function...

add the following...

?	case 0:
 ? ?var ut = rsp[0].split(" "); //splits the update time into single words
 ? ?document.getElementById('weather_update').innerHTML = ?"updated " + ut[0] + " " + ut[1] + " " + ut[2]; //displays time am/pm timezone
 ? ?break;

and...

?	case 18:
 ? ?document.getElementById('weather_city').innerHTML = ?rsp[i];
 ? ?break;
 ?	case 19:
 ? ?document.getElementById('weather_state').innerHTML = ?rsp[i];
 ? ?break;

Next, in the weather div tag...

change the ..::weather heading to a link for your location...

<span class="title"><a href="http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=14621">. . : : w e a t h e r</a></span><br />

.................Just make sure you change your Zip Code or you will get weather for my home town.

and add the following...

<label id="weather_city" name="weather_city">City</label>, <label id="weather_state" name="weather_state">State</label> ::<br>

.................I put this just under the ..::weather heading in this example

and...

<label id="weather_update" name="weather_update">update</label> ::<br>

.................I put this as the last line under the ..::weather heading in this example.

I am currently working on a hidden section (enabled with keyboard shortcut) to enter new links and also a "plug-in" to dynamicly generate a menu from a pre-designated folder.

More details to follow...
