You gave me a link to a ss,I need the one to the actual DX theme.


Ooops! I'm apologize Mr. Wizard, I forgot to tell you that I paid to have this theme downloaded. I think everybody else did who had this theme. The store link is here:

That's a drag.Current circumstances keep me from buying anything right now.(my broker is E.F. Nuttin')
Maybe someone who has the theme will pick up on this thread.
Try to move things to where you want,then save as I described.At least you'll be positioned.
I or someone may still be able to help,which icons/shortcuts did you want to change?
Also,have you thought of PM'ing the creator of this theme? If all else fails....

I will try to contact the creator Wizard. All in all, although some icons are unresponding, I believe this will somehow get a solution, either from the creator or some forum members that does have it. I am still glad the forum has helped me fix some of my problems, notably the missing wallpaper and the Windows icons. Now this theme is perfect with the exception of some icons. That's why I thank all the forum guys, especially to you Mr. Wizard and Bichur, you guys are exceptionally well and for that, I take off my hats for you. Thanks again!!!

unload dtx and clear the cache


in xp: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock\DesktopX

where 'owner' is you

you can just delete the whole folder - I'm guessing Dario's icons are widgets since dtx needs to be installed

Well Bichur, I made a little bit of progress. Now I got 4 of the 13 icons working compared to the original 11 out of 13. I can't still move the 9 icons that are unresponsive.

Bichur, I just found out that when I load the original, all the icons are working but without the wallpaper. And when I do the settings mentioned above to make the wallpaper appear, the icons become unresponsive. Got any idea about these?

if they are all working without the wallpaper

then instead of making the desktop icons show to get the wall to work

try right clicking desktop > properties > desktop

check the 'backgrounds' to see if the wall is there
if it is, then click the one above it (which then activates 'apply')
then click the wall and click 'apply' see if it then applies

You were right Bichur. A different wallpaper did applied and all icons are working. But how come when I switch back to the theme's original wallpaper, it just shows up with a white background?
