Oh! Noooo... That's rainmeter !!!Killswitch wrote:OhI thought you'd coded all of the desktop information as well (CPU/Current track etc)!
Same guy that makes rainlendar, he makes awsome code!

Pretty much the same thing as Active Desktop Calendar (http://www.xemico.com/adc/index.html) which I've been using for years,
It's customizable but not skinable which is fine by me because I never cared for "skins" and would prefer that programs that use skins give you the option to turn them off...Or at the very least give you a skin that doesn't look like one.

I'd love to learn how to skin my apps, for my users, not for my own. I personally prefer a nicely designed program using the Windows controls and look instead of all that nifty graphics stuff

You can download rainmeter and rainlendar source code from the site...GeoTrail wrote:I'd love to learn how to skin my apps, for my users, not for my own. I personally prefer a nicely designed program using the Windows controls and look instead of all that nifty graphics stuff
Nice API tricks in there by the way

Thanks for the Rainlender tip, even though I have a license for Active Desktop Calendar, there are features I and a bunch of other users would like that Xemi Computers seems to be ignoring because they are years old.
Also I have a number of program that also use Lua for scripting customization, its a really neat way to give users the ability to adjust a program's behavior to suit their needs.
The one thing I'm not looking forward to is translating my data to it but Lua should come in handy for that if needed.
PS: Since they have a free version, if you haven't already, you should add it to the good freeware stuff thread....

Im not agree.DESKTOP CLEANUP
You have unused icons on your desktop... SO FREAKING WHAT!!!!
I think that many people need it (my mother is one of them he he).
It's not a mess! I use most if not all those programs, maybe not every day but often enough to want them on the desktop.ricardo wrote:Its your desktop or the recyclebin content? he he Because the mess!!
It's also not a mess because each line has a purpose, the third line for example is all games, the fifth and sixth lines are programming tools, the last line is Internet related, and so on...
By doing it that way I can find any program on the desktop almost instantly.
