Just look in the Impulse: Stardock Logo -> Register a product -> Expiratrion Date. Here you will see a short word "None" in front of DesktopX Professional. So the license does not never expire.

This is true, but I think you only get updates to the next full release ( DX Pro 4 ) unless you pay again. I think.

RND is right. I wanted to buy DX pro and asked Stardock on this. I will just wait till DX pro 4 comes out.

 

All of you are doing an awesome job on discussing on this topic. If Stardock listens and acts on all your responses. Dx will become a even better program.

For Each o In DesktopX.Objects

o.hue = 30

Next

 

Would this go into a clickable button, or a slider?

Thanks!

It's code in an object. It's not for the user, it's for the coder.  But it *could* be user controled.

You are way too much help, Zu. Why don't you just do it for me?  lol

And what do I have to do to break it while testing?

Add it to the script of an object. (I think)

I see some things looks very funny sometimes! Please look here: https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/docs/3x/DXScripting.doc

The script posted by Martin works, but it won't recolor meter bars or any of the other states of an object. Only the default state. The end user would have to go into the script and change the number, rather than a button or slider. But I'm sure, if I knew how, I could put it in with some other script and get what I need, just don't know how.

 

Zubaz, sorry if I hijacked your thread, not intended.

Great tip, Martin. Been using that one a lot, myself. Come to think of it, this will make a great Tips & Tricks topic. 

 

Jim,

Change o.hue  to o.states("").hue  and it will work for all states. 

 

Also, here's what it looks like in a simple hue shifter script--works on l-click:

'Called when L-click is released
Function Object_OnLButtonUp(x, y, dragged)
 If dragged Then Exit Function
 For Each obj In DesktopX.Objects
  If obj.states("").hue => 255 Then
    obj.states("").hue = 0
   Else
    obj.states("").hue = obj.states("").hue + 10
  End If  
 Next
End Function

Ok, Eve, this works great!!  Only 1 problem...it don't recolor these items for some reason. The meter bars stay green, I can probably fix that by using a graphic, rather than a color. The DX player scrolling text and volume/seek slidera turn to black rectangles, until I right click them.

 

Thanx, Eve!

I'm off topic here, should I do this via PM or email?

I don't think you can recolor DX plugin objects (such as meters, etc) You'd have to do it manually.

Bummer...I can easily do that, a lot of the end users won't know how. Thank you very much for the script. You are awesome!!!

I hve uploaded a sample of how you can use a slider to manipulate things like this here.

Hope this helps.

This is really impossible...    And I think it may be one more thing that should be included into DX 4.x
