DesktopX is the one of the most Desktop enhancing software. It is capable of doing almost everything with the use of scripts. But inspite of all these qualities it is not as popular as windowblinds. As a fan of DesktopX I think that there are some of the aspects which need improvement. I list some of these here.
#Stability and speed -
Ya some of the themes work fast on even 256mb Ram but others even take time to open the shortcuts. At many times heavy skins can even hang your system.
#Taskbar -
The items take time to update and while using Office2007 it behaves abnormally. It doesn't have mouse over effects. If we drag any file to a taskbar item it doesn't opens that item to drop. It has no option for grouping same type of items like all the explorer windows in one.
#Startpanel button -
It opens the windows taskbar but doesn't toggles it.
#Media player -
The media player doesn't functions smoothly. Seek sliders and volume sliders sometimes begin to have there images on other objects. The idea to respond to scroll mouse button should also be considered. One thing which I noticed in toggled volume slider object is either you make it visible or not it functions as if it is visible if it is on its parent object.
#"Remove" option on R-click in desktopX client The option for removal of an object must not be in Dx client. If there is Bulider to edit a skin then what is its need in client. yes it may be present for dropped shortcuts but for other objects it is always a horrible thing because if you will handle your pc to a novice like your little brothr they always have a tendency to remove objects and many times by mistake even you click on it and destroy your beutiful desktop setup.
The expectations are high for new version of Dx. Let us see how it proves itself on them.
