oO ShifterZ Oo I just saw your post in October desktop caps... how is all the stuff (usage, weather, upload and downloads etc.) how is all that put on your desktop. I know it is scripted but exactly how. Do I need to install the programs and run them from there.... I like the look of that and I know MadMatt did a tutorial but I cant follow it. Does anyone have a simpler way.. pleassssseeeeee

 

[Grandmaster]

Well shouldn't you be asking in the October desktops thread?

 

[PseudoKiller]

I dont wanna... too busy of a thread and I want a comprehensive answer and not all the spam between posts...

 

[G-Lizard86]

yeah i really like that minimalistic stuff too....it's so easy going too bad i don't understand a friggin thing about it....can't EP make a tutorial when he's done with the database, like in stead of a review....and with help from madmatt...that'd be great..

who doesnt like a staight foward answer but well madmatt is called "active desktop" i think

my is called a program called "coolmon" go on yahoo.com search keyword "coolmon" click on the first link. Download this niffy program. then go to the extenstion page and downlaod wat ever script u want, i downlaoded the weather and the ip and the pop3 (which i cant get to work)

but then i didnt make the cfgg file its builded into the program so after u installed it right click the coolmon icon in ur taskbar and selcet fast config> and click on aangels config. which im using then add the things into it. ITs pretty stiaght forward but if u have any problems jsut reply to me

 

[PseudoKiller]

I think I will have to find Matt and see if he can do an update and step by step procedure for an idiot like me.

 

[oO ShifterZ Oo]

sorry i counldnt explain it better, im fob

 

[PseudoKiller]

Dont worry about it... I am prolly not explaining it well. I am curious how to get the desktop to show the google toolbar and weather and so on. On some screenshots it looks like those things are embedded in the desktop (active desktop) and from what I am able to decypher it is all this coding done in various html files and thats how it is shown on the desktop.... my head hurts now...
