[help] Making AveDesk like Dashboard

I was just wondering if it is possible to make AveDesk behave liek dashboard.

First of all I could make everything showcase only, and use a keystroke docklet, which I posted about here: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread.php?t=31601

But can I remove the logo from showcase and have a dashboard style widget-selector/placer/thingy ??? (Teh thing at the bottom of this screenie where the dock would be normally: http://media.arstechnica.com/images/tiger/dashboard-big.jpg )

Thanks.

Try looking in the C:Program FilesAveDeskImages for showcasebg.png image you would have to change.

Thanks Aleph. Anybody know of a dashboard-selector desklet?

EDIT: I have replaced the Showcase logo with a blank PNG image. It works fine, I didn't even have to restart AveDesk. If anybody knows of a dashboard-like desklet selector, then it'd be much apreciated if they could share it with us. Thanks!

The only thing that's not available in AveDesk (at least not in 1.3 ;) )is the Dashboard dock.

Everything else is possible and sooooo easy if you just look around the properties :slant:

I'm working on a Dashboard Dock... just to let you know.

But would only work with new AveScripter stuff to show the "Icon"

Awesome, that is what I have been waiting for the Dashboard dock. :)

Wanna some customization? Put one of these fruits to AveDesk/Images/ folder, and rename it to showcasebg.png, overwriting the original file.

I guess the dashboard widgetbar is the only thing we need now, seems all we can do it wait... :slant: hopefully pcm's one will be good.
