Earlier, I thought DesktopX Gadgets gallery already existed. Now, I know It was mixed with widgets gallery.

Nice for it to be highly moderated.

So how many stars needed for Gadgets gallery...

Roman, the clocks I do now, are single clocks to go with a certain walls, and a few other thing's, not like that Nemo Gang clock, that had 8 character as seperate clocks   lol, where you taught me the toggle trick, I used that, it was great.

 

I intend on making more uinique thing's... though for some reason, my Gadgets work on XP and not Vista, any clues on this David? if anyone would know, it would be you!

Install Impulse and reinstall DX on Vista.  Make sure you use the version on vista to export your widgets.

Look at ID's original post.  Middle image.  *That's* a unique clock.

I can't Zu, I'm on XP.

 

C'mon Zu, my clocks arent THAT bad, and I will make more unusual ones, it's just I've been doing what most people would do, if they've created a wall.. you'd want things to match it, clocks is just one thing.. I'm still learning, and trying to improve, which I think, [hope] I have done.

I don't think your clocks are bad at all.  I think that they are fine adn getting better.  But they are just the same data with different faces.  I'd say the same about a clock whose hands ran backwards.

But the purpose of teh desktopgadgets.com site was for gadgets that were mini-applications.  I see that same purpose for this new gallery.

For me . . it's about coding, not user interface.

Fair enough. and Zu, I've been adding different thing's to them, and experimenting, I'll get there.

People also like thing's that are asthetically pleasing.. not..just coding.

From here going forward the desktop gadgets will be more heavily moderated.  The original desktop gadgets site was intended to showcase the best of the best, and what exactly can be done with DesktopX Pro.  Gadgets not deemed for the public gallery will be to personal pages.

ID, some folks want to be able to make semi decent clock Gadgets, are you saying no more clock submissions for Gadgets? I'm not complaining, just want to be clear. as David himself said he was making Gadget versions of all his Widgets, and a lot are clocks, very good clocks... and just a note, not all mine are clocks, they are unique living creatures actually. .

You need to make sure you are installing DesktopX Pro from Impulse, and make sure the latest updates are applied. 

I am not saying clocks or anything isn't allowed, they will just be moderated for quality like the wallpaper gallery.

i was not planning on doing those, more things like the drop info, and some of the older cpu/memory meters revise them to use new wmi calls and not the sometimes-working imbedded functions.

Things like moderation issues really aren't discussed in public.

Seems I've missed this Great Day because I temporarily live in Moscow and have no stable internet connection here...

What can I say?

too late..

The Gadgets Gallery will make sense only in one case: it must contain the Unique, Exclusive Gadgets and Master Skins. Or it will looks like other DX Galleries because of a tons of "spam". Then it just will die like DesktopGadgets.com...

So I think it would be great to create some Rules and (or) Criterias for any things which may be uploaded here. Let's keep this place in Purity!

I'm considering making the Desktop Gadgets gallery a more heavily moderated gallery.

Master Skins only? that's a bit rough   give the rest of us 'non Masters' a decent shot.

I just spent 3 hours making a swinging, animated bird cage email notifier gadget.

NO!
Unique, Exclusive Gadgets and Master Skins
We really need at least one little place where we will show the DesktopX power and new ways in DX Scripting. Any other things like "remakes for old widgets" must be in the separated gallery - DesktopX Widgets...

Yeah, and a lot of people would like some of those Widgets, made into Gadgets, that's what a lot of users would like.

I agree, they should be decent, but we don't set out to make crap, intentionally either.

Sub idea

you can always create a zip with your widget and his gadget version then upload this zip under widget's gallery

IF it's clearly indicated in description and on the widget and gadget names.

And IF it's a widget you have already uploaded so edit your upload and don't reupload a new one

End IF

End Sub

 

Notes: The use of "you" here is general; talking to everyone

The bottom line here is, that the gallery will be moderated for quality as is the wallpapers gallery.  Anything not approved for public gallery will be moved to personal pages.

I have agree with Vadim!
We have some very talented dx-elders,(coders designers) Like Tigg'z,Martin, RomanDa, Vad, Thomassen, gef,sViz, etc.
So dx gadgets gallery would be show what the power of dx !
Other gallery's will be all other dx stuffs, like weathers, calendars, clocks, objects, desktops etc.
Wincustomize users NEED reskinned popular items.
So if anyone, who not want to show up own talent of any new scripting , or COMPLETELLY new object, just use widget/object/desktop gallerys.

..maybe little off but..

I'm not want to personal attack to Tailsgirl.
Seems like she have lot of time, and very activ forum member too..

So not just for TG , but for All members:
Please if you made "little different" items , please dont up those , like different skin.
If you made just "same as just other bg" or "just little diff" clocks, weather, calendars, dx objects/desktops, please group those in one zip. Gallery not need  10-20 SAME AS clock/date etc., like different skin.
Because in this way, dx gallery will lost...

Mods, members, friends, what do you think?

thanks
Bilbo

I've noticed that, too. Sometimes it's listed in the sidebar, and then later it's gone. I've cleared my cookies, and as of this post, the link isn't there.
