My First, and Still work in progress
well, ive been working on this on and off for about 2 1/2 weeks, and considering its my first windows mod without skinning.
well,, here she is.
http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/1b431d14/bc/My+Documents/Screenie.jpg?bfdqajBBjcEJsBLR
the only software i've used so far, is
Tclock2
Sysmetrix
K-Taskmod
and some random other Apps (ie. Paint, Microangelo, PhotoShop, RegEdit, NotePad, ResHacker etc)
background is active desktop, icons in MyComp and StartMenu are ResHacked, not just Properties-> Change Icon
I know the sidebar (System Status) thing is big, i didn't realize i was zoomed in when workin in photoshop. In case your also wondering, the little X in the gray box in the bottom right corner toggles my desktop icons while i get used to the menu system.

I really like the menu (the one with the icons on the right), how did you create it?

Serenity > are you talking about the grey menu on the top left desktop? or the big right status menu?

Serenity
bond_bbs, the grey menu on the top left with the items adaware, calculator, notepad etc.

ohh.. ok.. just had to clarify that.
My background is an Active Desktop, and its a Javascript cascading menu (modified a bit) from
http://www.milonic.com -- its free to non-profit organizations, and for personal use.

Serenity > ohh yah.. forgot to note one thing.. it can cause some interesting errors on active desktops (mainly due to its native Netscape 6 support, and code revolving around that). Usually just a right click-> refresh of the desktop makes it work.
What i've found i do to get around it, is make a seperate html page, that just automatically redirects after like 2 seconds to the real desktop html file, which prevents long login times (associated with the errors), and the errors themselves.

bond_bbs, I'm having problems with setting the background image for the desktop with javascript. Do you set yours with javascript, if so, how? I found I had to set it with html tags in the body.

bond_bbs
i set mine in the html tag,, but you could do a
document.write(");
in javascript if you wanted.

umm.. okay.. when i typed the code example in there, it actually put it in the page and won't display in the message.. that was quite accidental on my part...
its supposed to say you could do a *document.write({quote}{less than sign}body background={img}{greater than sign}{end quote});

hmm, maybe I got the syntax wrong, but thanks anyway- it works fine to set the background image with html tags. Do you have issues with the menu loading from startup? I find that it loads the html (background image) promptly, but comes up with an 'error in script' message, asking me if I want to continue running scripts on the desktop.. to which I say yes, and then the menu appears.

yeah.. i had that problem.. what you need to do, is in the javascript tags you put into your html document, remove the tag the following tags:
< ! - -
if(ns4)_d.write(< script language=JavaScript src=mmenuns4.js>< \/s cript>");
else _d.w rite("<script language=JavaScript src=mmenudom.js><\/script>");
-->
and just put in
<script language="JavaScript" src=mmenudom.js></script>
in its place...
That fixed the script errors i had...
