[help] Active Desktop

Hey all ... if you haven't seen Ken's fabulous creation "Dashboard Wallpaper" go here ... it uses window's active desktop to load a website in flash that allows you to open a menu that has dashboard widget clones such as the calendar, itunes remote, stickies, and more ...

this is something i drooled over since first opening the thread ... but after downloading and following all provided instructions, when i set "Dashboard.html" as my desktop background, all i end up with is the solid sage green color i have selected as my default background color under display properties.

i've tried to load other webpages as my wallpaper, but nothing loads anymore!

only shell tweaks i use are themexp and i have flyakite's system pack installed ... i also have shinonon's desktop calendar drawn onto my wallpaper, and the date is updated by a constantly running TClock. Perhaps one of these is interfering with active desktop's abilities?

Please help ... I am tortured by how much I want to use Ken's creation!

Number one suspect is that desktop calendar. Try to disable it temporarily and see if it helps.

desktop calendar doesn't seem to have anything to do with it ... for some reason i have a sneaky suspicion it has something to do with flyakite...
