Is it possible in either Samurize or AveDesk to have a desklet that changes the icon representing the CD Drive based on the CD currently inserted in the drive (i.e. It uses a standard icon for an empty drive or unwritten CD, but loads say a .png icon for Half-Life when the Half-Life CD is inserted).
Read this thread in the AveDesk Forum to see what I was getting at: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?s...=0entry188554
Umm. There's already been a thread about this, you might want to search.
@Stewie: Is this the thread you are refering to, as it's the only one similar to what I'm talking about: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?showtopic=14257&hl=
If you want to have nice PNGs (ie. not use the icons that show for the CD in the drive) you can do so with Samurize... you could use a WMI meter with the Win32_LogicalDisk class, VolumeName property, set its display type to 'image', and add an alert value so that when the VolumeName equals "HALFLIFE" (or whatever) it displays your HalfLife PNG.
Of course this doesn't work very well if you want to have PNGs for a lot of CDs (Samurize does not yet support multiple alert values, so you'd need a meter for every CD!) so instead a custom VBscript could be written that returns a path to an image file depending on what the name of the CD in the drive currently is.
As a seperate option, someone could maybe write a Samurize plugin that extracted the icon from the CD in the drive (this way you would have an icon for any CD automatically if it had one, but they'd probably be of much lower resolution).
If you want either the custom VBscript or plugin written, post a request over at Samurize.com - you're sure to get some enthusiastic replies
