No widgets in the import dialog. Only objects. We used to have a widget section there......

As far as I can tell, they're all listed together now, objects, widgets, and gadgets. I kinda like that--not having to switch between two lists--but there should be something to denote which is which.

wrigleys: apparently it's only the Pro version at this time. The standard version beta will probably be released early next week (hopefully along with a changelog  ) .

Well, mine seems to be selective. For example, I have not moved my objects, widgets, and themes to the new directory, yet Tinted DX is in the DX directory, and the objects directory.

 Has Stardock included these in the program? I think not. Would be cool, tho.

I believe once you run a widget/etc. it will then show up in the list. So that's probably how they got there.

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like Infinity and Steampunk are included, though!

(hopefully along with a changelog ) .

That would be helpful.

Don't worry.

This BETA is unworthy for your attention! I've already uninstalled it...

Let's wait for the next update which will work more correctly (I hope).

Bump.

Was this beta release official or an accident? We haven't heard any new information about since.

The one released was only for DX Pro, it seems.

I hope it was only an accident. Otherwise I'll use the previous version as long as it will be possible...

Sorry about not being around and responding.

Yes, this is an official release. 

Yes, DX4 is going to be stripped down to bare bones and then rebuilt better than ever.

Yes, this is the Pro version and the standard version is coming.

No, we are not going to be able to hit everything on the wish-list thread and not everything right away.

 

Plugins have been moved so that there are not security issues with them

Widgets and objects and gadgets and graphics have been moved to the standard locaation for Stardock apps.

Right-click options have been added to make creating new things easier.

Sidebar gadget export have been removed (since MS has dropped the sidebar in Windows 7 as a failure in Vista and what were sidebar gadgets can now be anywhere  . . like objects/widgets/gadgets).  One less thing to support so better features can be added.

 

Expect more builds in the near future and know that we are listening.

And 2 of RedneckDudes desktops were added as a special bonus to be included with DesktopX!   

 

 

 

Couldn't help myself.......

i have not had much time to devote to anything other than the slave-drivers i work for (112+ hrs of OT in Oct, 3 days at home in the whole month).  So i have not had time to watch every thread etc.  So..  a few simple q's

 1. can i install the 4 beta and KEEP the 3.x pro currently running somewhere?  Or is there a simple ay to go back and forth between them somehow?  Im not working on anything right now so i guess i could use the beta for now, nothing pressing is stoping me.

 2. is there a list somewhere of what is being done first, etc?  So we can test the things you want us to so we know if they work or not on multiple systems? 

 Zu/Etc  I know people like to complaine but i want you to know personally how much i appriciate you and the team there at stardock.  SD could easily have killed DX and just use it in-house for your own things, and i want you to know that i personally appriciate your pushing the update, and keeping it out there for all of us.  

I have dozens of apps i can load and test or if anyone at SD wants to test something i have as a gadget just let me know and ill send you the code.

If you make a copy of the old version folder, you can run the old version from there (obviously not at the same time as the 4.0 version). There are a few "hardcoded" (or read from the registry?) paths though, so you will have to copy some folders over to the new version folder.

Ex: if you copied the 3.5 version to DesktopX3, you will need to copy the SDPlugin folder from the DesktopX3 folder to the DesktopX folder (where the 4.0 version is installed) for DX3.5 to pick the plugins.

Also I had it crash on me at one point when loading with desktops & objects extracted with the new version. Clearing the CurrentTheme folder fixed the problem.

Why all the sudden did the performance meters quit working? I mean memory and drive are still there but when go to choose system performance meter there's nothing in it. All cpu functions don't exist anymore(or anything for that matter), how come?

Richard, copy your old plugins into the new plugins folder.

 

On 7, I get an error in impulse saying that DesktopX Pro isn't compatible with my system. I can't install it!!!  Help!!

i know that maybe the sidebar was not used much, however it is still available in 7, should be in the programs fiolder right at the bottom though as you said why stick them to the side when they can be anyware

Sidebar in windows 7 is available as a runtime only.
