Customize Icons - Windows 7 x64

[kenny782]

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and I just found Dexpot tonight.
The main reason it came up in my search was the ability to customize icons on each desktop.

I installed it, rebooted, and enabled "Customized desktop icons".
But all 4 desktops contain the same icons, any changes made effect all the desktops.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kenny

,

what happens if you delete the icons on Desktops 2-4 via 'Desktop Windows/Icons/Delete'?

I got it, on a hunch I uninstalled Stardock Fences and that fixed it.

Would have been a nice combo, but replacing some of the groups with a seperate desktop will do the job nicely. Probably better


Is there a way I can retrieve the active desktop via autoit or autohotkey.
Maybe an api, or somply a switch on the dexpot exe?

I want to keep my background but I'd like to write a script to actually display the text name of the active desktop over it.

***EDIT***
I found the option but when I set it to "Desktop Background" I can't see it.
I assume it's ending up below my background.
***EDIT-EDIT***
Looks like StarDock DeskScapes is causing that. Geeze I can't win with StarDock lol


Thanks again,

Kenny

No one wins with Starducks IMHO

yeah, cool looking stuff but seems to cause issues way too often.

Oh well worth the sacrifice lol
