Been testing folder desklet and saw that there is an option that is able to turn off the image of drag'n'drop. Tried to do the same for a normal desklet however didn't find any checkbox for this. Does anybody know how is it possible to overcome this problem?

@Autumnist: check this movie (divX 5.02 required), http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/clip0020.avi, all the dragging is done while holding shift.

@TwiceBlessed: Which normal docklet?

[TwiceBlessed]

I meant Drive desklet . Is it possible to somehow turn off drag'n'drop effect for it?

[Autumnmist]

I think you have the same problem as vneumann with NeXplorer -- when you use non-TrueType fonts (I'm currently trying iTunes which is a Type1 font), the text of the label doesn't show up.

@TwiceBlessed: you are right, gonna fix it tomorrow I just forget to add a checkbox there.

@Autumnmist: Type1 fonts are not supported by AveDesk, since they aren't actually native to windows. I had a way to make them be drawn, but the fonts looked really bad, like samurize. I know apps like DesktopX can show type1 fonts, but they are using a whole different method (making their own d-top where they drawn upon). What precisely is the diff and why type1 fonts in AD will look bad, is a too technical discussion.

Best solution is to use a similiar, not Type1 font.

I thought about this too at first but if this is the problem then why i can see the checkbox for a folder desklet and can't see it for a drive desklet?

Edit:
Thanks once again Ave for a quick reply.

Did you restart AveDesk?

If so, I make a debug version for you

Restarted several times, when I drag something to my Desktop, it appears as a normal windows XP native icon

Thanks for the quick response. But of course, thanks to your wonderful talents, using proper alpha transparency for the shaodw makes it look nicely antialiased.

The program is awesome by the way, and I only have one complaint:
I try to use the hide icon when drive isn't mounted option but the icon isn't being hid. It still stays on my desktop. Does anyone know how I can fix that?

Notes Desklet is amazingly customizable., with rotating text, drop shadows and notes up  to basically any size. For those of you that want the Marker felt tip font, you can get it here:

I'm sure this is going to sound dumb but how do you use the text-to-speach desklet? So lost right now.

Btw, amazing work Ave.
