Try to update MSXML (just use this phrase on google) :)

Strange, maybe get an ATI cause that seems to work without probs :P

Well the strange thing is that the "suck"-effect worked perfectly with the demo. Oh well, guess it wont kill me :)

#326582

Wait, I just remember what I changed from the demo to the release, some pesky little flag:

hRes = directDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ANTIALIASEDLINEENABLE, TRUE);

Might be that nvidia doesn't like that, phat-liz0rd, can you contact me thru PM/MSN?

#326585

I don't see the problem.

I have an nVidia Geforce 5700FX and it works perfectly.

#326586

tried everything that comes in the default packages + the desklets from the website

what am i doing wrong?

(pd_ is there a list of those commands?)

anibalin: actually "My Computer" doesn't have any free space. Individual drives have.

Try a thought experiment: what would be the free space of 'my computer'? the free space on all drives? But what if you are on a network? What if you have an ftp-networklocations?

#326711

you are right mate, i have to add a single drive then.

edit_ done :) working ok.

two questions:

a) i wanted to have just the text, no icon | the only workaround i found was to set the Appearance to 0. But after closing the app and opening it again...i have to turn it back to 255 (nor the text or the icon are seen). bug? is there another way?

B) is ave desk 1.3 able to get, for instance, this drive desklet selectable like a normal icon? (like making a rectangle in the desktop)

thanks in advance for your time. Thanks for sharing your hard work.

respect.

Andreas, just a quick question

will it be possible to make avedesk interact with winamp like it does with iTunes (avetunes)?

maybe 1.3 is a bit better for this than 1.2?

maybe I'll try to make a simple "amptunes" :)

Excuse me, but seems like a pre-release for all those bothering Ave with 'WHEN?!' (and 'fourth major release' in description sounds like 'force majeur release' :)). No scripter, dummy in tutorial, poor site... It needs more work around it, but fortunately not inside.

And the sucky effect seems to work on selected graphic cards only. I've got TNT2 @ home and an integrated Intel graphics @ work, but nowhere I can get effect to work. '...graphics card capable of using alpha-blended surfaces needed.' - the readme says, and both of my cards are such ones, but no nice flipping there :(. I think, we need DX9-capable graphic cards with pixel shaders. Am I right?

my graphics card, which is a 9000PRO had directX9 installed already, its a pretty crappy card but im sure it can perform alpha-blending. anybody got any advice on how to fix this sucky effect? other then that my aveie works just fine.

Ave - I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ability to preview the label backgrounds... It's one of the little improvements that makes a huge difference--- thanks! I no longer have to dig through my Avedesklabels directory to find the preview images of each label set.

Andreas,

I love the new ave desk. Thanks for a great and useful app.

I have a request. What is the weather desklet that you are using for all of your screenshots? I would like to use that one for my desktop but don't know which one it is. Has it been released? or is it your own design and still beta. I like the way that it shows the predicted hi/low for the day and the graphics.

Thanks,

If you read the thread you would see that it's a part of AveScripter developed by pcm and that it will be released along with it.

#326875

Alrighty then.

Thanks for your help.

Hey, i have been using Avedesk 1.3 for a couple of days now, but haven't had a chance to comment. Good work, cheers Ave.

#326886

#326920

woo. what a pleasant surprise find when i get internet back after the hurricane :D. when i tried the previous releases of this i didn't care for it as much, but i'm really loving this version. it's really fun to play with. thanks for the hard work!

#327022

Great job, thanks! :)

#327211

One small question...

in the stickynotes one, i see there's a text file that controls what fonts and sizes are available... i tried adding to that list other fonts but they don't seem to work. is that list unchangeable?

thanks :)

#327365

Can a developer look for the mail i sent for the french translation please!

#327384

hmm... my mail seems stalled, need to call my ISP for that

It works, but only on a restart - maybe I should `hot-load` that file, actually.

#327389

So how can i send you the french translation?

#327390

just wait :P I'll get it whenever my mail is back up.

Amen brah. This version is easily the best of all of them!
