I have a couple questions about DesktopX and aquadock. Here it goes:

1) When I save my work that Ive done with DesktopX (arranged icons and desktop Etc) for some reason It doesnt keep the backround that I choosen and reverts to the default one..What gives?

2) How do I get desktopX to start up whenever my computer starts up?

3) When I give Icon on my desktop (not on the aquadock) a subtitle such as my computer, it has a white rectangular box around it which makes it look ugly when put against a different color backround other than white. How can I blend the text into the backround without that white box?

4) Whenever I remove Icons from the aquadock (the one at urbanslurp, thats where I got mine from) it has a large gap in it which where the icon once was. How can I get the aquadock to resize itself to fit all the apps evenly spaced

[thuggers]

:-/ sadly I have given up on my attempt to make XP look like OSX, my attempts are futile and never ending. Im just going to trade this in for an Ibook

[Dazzla Veteran]

Neyo, Have you seen this?

Apparently it's a fully working dock made in flash...

[U-Ron]

wow, how can we obtain a dock like that? any download links or is it stil in development?

[shodan]

Dazzla.. I don't get your last post... is it a real mac or a winxp skinned?!? Cos if it's xp.. it looks great! Where did you find that flash dock?

[Neoguigui]

Nah! it's imposible! it's not winxp! it's OSX

i know there are some projects for docks and genie but nothing can do that on XP at now!

Dazzla what's this ?

that can't be XP...

XP doesn't support the Transparent TitleBars on Windows...

besides.. it HAS to be a photoshoped image..

some of the text has a Mac ClearText on it.. and Some has an XP cleartext...

(XP uses Red and Blue pixel distortion. and Mac uses a grey scale distortion)

[Y/C]

Is it XP or finally is it OSX??? Or is it OSX with some photoshop additions (NT 5.1 build 2600) so that we think it's finally XP???

Well, I don't care... All these screenshots are really fabulous, but let's find a way, how we can make our "wannabe OSX" desktops to look like more OSX, shall we?... :)

[shodan]

Yeah guys, maybe you're right... I've just only hoped was a great flash thing for xp... I mean the appsdock....

Well... I hope someone should do something like that... I'd really love it too...

Anyway... I still waiting for Dazzla's last word, right?

[Dazzla Veteran]

Well, its not my desktop. I saw it on the january thread. Some guy posted it, I was a bit dubious for the reasons Ja450n mentioned. I got an email from him though:

The theme is real, however, you gotta remember, it's

not intended to be a theme. It is intended to be a

shell replacement. If you remember the FLash Desktop

Project, they were also developing a desktop in Flash

as well.

The About This Mac, of course is from Aqua-soft.,

however as for using windows blinds, I honestly don't

have it installed nor do I use it. Too much of a

resource hog.

Whether or not we can get this to be a true shell

replacement, remains to be seen. If you have had any

experience with shell replacement technology, you know

it can be taxing and very buggy and sometimes just

plain frustrating.

So we will either release it as one of three things.

1) Just a theme that will be compatible with Styles

XP, however, that is not what we are going for,

because OSX themes are a dime a dozen out on the net.

2) An app that opens up and takes over your desktop,

which will incorporate XML and Flash.

3) A complete Shell replacement for Explorer, that

will be stable and bugfree.

The windows you seen in the background are terminal

windows we are experimenting with a home brew version

of a system monitoring software to emulate like in

OSX.

The window you see next to the dock, is really a

webpage using jpgs as icons.

the border in IE is really a dummy border, so you see

what appears to be tabs, but really is just text.

Haven't gotten to the point if we can actually make

the functional.

Everything else is standard, with the exception of the

transparent title bars, which I cannot convey at this

point in how we achieved that.

And lastly the Itunes Skin is the test skin for Winamp

3. However between the skin being brand new and

Winamp being very unstable, it is not practical for

real-time using.

I hope this answers your questions, and I know I will

get flamed on the board, but I really do not care what

they think, I will let the product speak for itself.

Remember you can't make everyone happy, so just make

yourself happy first.

A quick list of some of the apps and languages used

Flash 5

C++

VB+

Codewarrior

ASP

Microlangelo

Dreamweaver Ultradev

Access

Make of that what you want. I'm still a bit sceptical. You can check it out on the january thread here to see for yourself.

XP does support transparent title bars. Just run Glass2k and see for yourself.
