I've been working on a few DesktopX plugins. The latest one is a scripting plugin that exposes Vista Glass color control to scripts.

I quickly put together a widget to test it. It's not doing a lot right now, but maybe others might find it usefull. Maybe I'll build a widget that change glass color according to misc events (weather, time, season, etc.) if I have the time.



It's also using another plugin I built that allows objects to react to mouse wheel events. I think CerebroJD & Zubaz are working on widgets using it.

That's great! We could do with some more plugins.

Update :

Carl do those all automatically use the same skin?

WOW!!! ALL of these works are incredible. There is tremendous talent here. I can't wait to see them when they're finished. WOW!!!

Yes, but 2 different background graphics used (system-meter can use thicker frames). All other graphics (bars, bar-backgrounds, bin, mail, options button, close button) might use different png's, but don't have to. An You can change all backgrounds with just choosing the skin. Uses an ini-file though...

Carl, that is sweeeeeet!

Littleboy is a freakin DX plugin genius!  He's doing some really cool stuff with both XP and Vista's API's, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of the crazy plugins he comes up with.

If only DX would behave and store things after applying...

Have to second Cerebro, Littleboy is a plugin genius! Always have lot's on the go just like thomassen and also find solutions or equivalents. Will get back to work on the Slot Machine & Horoscope gadget.

Working on a few Heavy Equipment Sysmetrix skins this is the progress on the first one so far.
