pepo Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 (edited) I got the sidebar to curve. Looks better. :) 586645333[/snapback] how did you do that???? Oh, and how do I add more parts to the sidebar, because when I do it, the new parts don't show up on the "+" to add them on the sidebar?

DomZ Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I managed to give the sidebar a curved effect by adjusting my monitors settings (the actual physical buttons on the monitor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y0sh Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Looks interesting! Too bad I can't find the actual sidebar exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leddy Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 of course, settings on your monitor don't actually change the image that we see in a screenshot. It's like having a black and white monitor and capturing an image, which everyone else sees in colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cep_head Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 would love to have some new/different gadgets for this thing. like the weather/wmp/and maybe a way to put shortcuts on it. by the way why is the anolog clock background only dark when in the preview it shows a map or something? and one more thing is there a way to tell the slideshow which folder to use for pictures? any ideals on this please post,thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E64_Rafael Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Regarding your clock picture question, it's just a mistake by Microsoft. If you open the .part with compression software, you'll see the thumbnail is slightly incorrect for the clock. Oh well, if it really bothers you, fix it. Regarding your Slideshow question... This is the code in Part.js responsible for setting the folder in which pictures are loaded: // Setting: Folder to display. this.slideFolder = Settings.GetValue("Folder"); if (this.slideFolder == "") { // Default: Pictures var ssfMYPICTURES = 39; // ShellSpecialFolderConstants for My Pictures folder var myPicturesFolder = shell.NameSpace(ssfMYPICTURES); this.slideFolder = myPicturesFolder.Self.Path; Settings.PutValue("Folder", this.slideFolder); } A quick, sloppy fix would be to replace: this.slideFolder = Settings.GetValue("Folder"); ... with (replacing the path): this.slideFolder = "C:\TEMP"; A better fix would be to implement the settings pane for this part.

crimsonhead Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Someone tell us how to curve it! 586647389[/snapback] To curve it just patch sidebar.exe, then reshack RCDATA 5002 in the exe. Replace the png with this one for a simple curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
