Question/Sugggestion

April 22, 2006 11:20:01 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Is it possible to beable to switch the themes of (windowblinds,cursorxp,iconpackenger,objectdock and possbily desktop x) with a single click of a button.So i mean you set up the theme then save it and do that to other sets of themes you like so you have a gallery of preset themes...Its a good idea so has it been done or is it even possible?

Are you describing something like ThemeManager?

Or something like paxx's or tiggz' wallpaper changers?
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?Library=34&skinid=154
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?Library=34&skinid=383

Or tiggz' skinchanger:
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?Library=34&skinid=235

The nice thing about those is that they apply to one app. Suites have lots of options unless you are going to force the user to use ALL of the apps. And what if they don't have all the apps installed.

Good idea, could be hard to implement.

I thought it could work the way a 'Startup' folder works and you just drag all the files you want and apply the certain theme with one click...

I'm not sure, but I don't think Object Dock is Theme Manager aware. I'm not sure about widgets either. You could approach this from the DesktopX side where each Desktop is a "complete" package. Then you would have to "code" each desktop to taste and save it. I think in the end you'll still have to apply Object Dock themes as a separate mouse click(s)

So how can you create an object that can do such a thing?

YOu can always create a batch file that runs a particular *.wba, *.dxpack, DX *.exe, etc and have teh object call that batch file. (when I say batch, I mean *.com)

I'm an idiot.

Why not just script it out?

Create an object and new script.

Paste something like the following betwennthe open and close subs:

Sub Object_OnLButtonDown(x, y)

'Create the shell object
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

'Apply skin
WshShell.Run "C:\Progra~1\Stardock\Object~1\Window~1\airframe\airframe.uis"' C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds\Airframe\airframe.uis"

'Apply widget
WshShell.Run "C:\Progra~1\Stardock\Object~1\DesktopX\Widgets\Illuminati.exe"

End Sub


You need to edit for your paths and skins.
The only downside is I still have to click the button to apply the skin. Maybe soemone else can assist. I also associated the uis file to WB instead of the default SkinStudio on my PC.

What is the significance of these-'Progra~1,Window~1,Object~1'why not use 'Program Files,Object Desktop and Windowblinds' or does it really matter?

Short file names always work. Long do not always work.
I like being sure.
