If we only care about the wallpaper slideshow part of themes, the better approach might be a plugin that regularly cycles through items from a set of wallpapers for the currently active desktop, bypassing the Windows slideshow settings altogether. That's what you had in mind, Mark, right? Yes indee...

Please add me to the list of people who would very much like to be able to use different Windows 7 Themes on different Dexpot Desktops. I hope Patrick and Sebastian don't mind me mentioning that this is something we (Team Circle Dock) are currently looking to provide as a Dexpot "plug-in"...

Unlike other browsers, eg Chrome, Firefox is a single-instance application and although you may think you're starting multiple instances - one in each Desktop - you are, in fact, only opening new browser windows within the same instance in memory. That's why your plug-ins "know" about wind...

Circle Dock integration is now complete. However, I have decided that Circle Dock will not include any special abilities to control Dexpot of itself. Users can, if they wish, add Dock Items to switch between Desktops or to summon a Dexpot dialog. There is no good reason to do so: it's much quicker t...

Hi, :dex: If you're going to be releasing a new version about the same time, then it might be a rather good idea for me to have access to your betas in case I (or you!) need to make some "adjustments". sure thing. Here are some instructions on how to get the latest Dexpot beta . Many than...

Awesome. Do you know when the new version will be released? I'd love to try it. We can also push a new Dexpot 1.5.x release with the plugin system modifications then. I'm in the process of finishing-off writing the code - somewhat more than your four or five lines! Once that's working, my colleague...

The next Release of Circle Dock will fully-support Dexpot internally - there will be no need for users to create Dock Items in order to switch desktops or to summon a Dexpot menu. As small set of Dexpot-specific options is included on Circle Dock's main settings dialog: ⋅ If Circle Dock is...

Hi Patrick, The message broadcast after the start of Dexpot will be the return value of RegisterWindowMessage("DexpotStarted"). I've completed almost all the message handling (messages sent by Dexpot) but am a tad confused by DEX_LOAD and wondered if this is broadcast to signify Dexpot is ...

Well thank you for wishing to save me the bother of adding extra code. I see the Sarge agrees with your suggestion - so I'll remind him of that fact when our support forum is inundated with confused users. It's just that there are tons of other tools that also change the desktop wallpaper. You can'...

We are in the process of having a new web site designed and I will ensure that Dexpot is featured strongly. Thanks, we'll put up a link to Circle Dock in return. That would be great, thanks. That's great, but you may wish to partner that with an UNREGISTERPLUGIN should the user decide to close Circ...

Hi Mark, :dex: From my perspective, as Circle Dock's principal developer, I am quite happy to have any interaction between Circle Dock and Dexpot in the form of Windows messages. are you sure you didn't just let the Sarge talk you into it? :D Well, umm, not quite! He has been known to issue me with...

From my perspective, as Circle Dock's principal developer, I am quite happy to have any interaction between Circle Dock and Dexpot in the form of Windows messages. Whilst it's a little more work for me, the end result will be far quicker and smoother. Let's take a simple example, switching Dexpot's ...
