Although a few months behind the schedule this tutorial explains the details of setting up AveDesk, installing desklets and everything else a full blown tutorial should do. It has every function explained along with a description of all major desklets that come with AveDesk 1.1. It should be more than sufficient for new users, and even some experienced ones could take a look.
It took me a lot of time to do this tutorial and i tried to do it well, but if you have any suggestions or questions feel free to PM me. In addition to this, if you have ANY problems with AveDesk, i encourage you to post them here, before bugging Ave. I will try to answer your questions/suggestions, and if i`m unable to do that, i`ll inform Ave.

If you liked this tutorial and you like AveDesk, feel free to donate. Each donation gives Ave more time to work on AveDesk and improve it.

Last but not least,
Enjoy

UPDATE: Since the angry mob threatened to kill me cause of my Luna blasphemy a brand "new" Aqua tutorial is released. Also the Luna one is being updated with bookmarks thanks to Dr@g0nR3b0rn, who added them & made much better quality PDFs.

[Pe8er]

1. Panther screenshots, don't compress them sooo much
2. Change fonts to LucidaMac
3. tutorial for avetunes/ftp skinning (explanation of everything that should be in config file)
4. Add bookmarks

[Unbeliever]

1. i told u u`ll get an Aqua version soon (i didn`t compress the images, the crappy conversion to PDF did. It`s some free prog )
2.
3. Will come after SysStats tutorial
4. Gimme Acrobat Pro and i`ll do it

[Pe8er]

1. Call me later, I will give you something good for pdf creating...edit: ok, actually it's already in this thread, you just have to look carefully to find it

2. bookmarks:

-you have to enable show field codes in Word (tools>options>view)
-then click Add > Field...
-in category list select document automatization
-in field names select PRINT
- in field codes type in PRINT "[/Title (My bookmark 1) /OUT pdfmark"

and continue with every bookmark like this...

If you want to have sub-bookmarks:
-create a bookmark like this: PRINT "[/Title (My bookmark 1) /Count x /OUT pdfmark" where x is the number of sub-bookmarks
-then normally add bookmarks. First x bookmarks will be sub-bookmarks, fourth will be 'normal'

3. IMO aqua version should be for everyone

[Dirty Ole]

I certainly enjoyed it.

[cyrax71]

I'm new to this and AveDesk. I'd like to say thanks for great info you all provide.

[Ronnie Coleman]

I would like someone explain me how to set some of my icons like this in attachment?
I install AveDesk 1.2 and i tried everything. I download both tutorial and still I don't know how?! :mad:

Someone to explain?

Thanks a lot!

Greetings,

Ronnie Coleman

@Ronnie: all you have to do, is right click on the desklet and go to configure. Then, click on the icon tab and and configure which icon you want it to use. It's not hard at all, just make sure you save your theme so the next time you load AveDesk the icons are the same.

[Ronnie Coleman]

Is the version 1.2 best to use or I must install v.1.3?

[Unbeliever]

AveDesk 1.2 is the latest public release.
AveDesk 1.3 is under development and is not publicly available.

I didn't have the time to update the tutorial for 1.2 but the same basic principles apply to it. The only difference is that now instead of 2 desklets (drives, folders) there is only one (PIDL). It's easy to set it up if you read the tutorial.
