I din't see his.  You are right . . yours really sucks in comparison.

Now  . . if it were a troll hiding behind the tree . . totally different story.

I think the idea is to have more than one tree......

My original intention was to keep this completely open but, I just had to steal some code that I put in over 30 hours on for another project. For the time being I'm going to think about it because it looks like I'll being doing the GUI also?

Since I needed to change things my bragging about tonight may have been premature.

Current Screenie:

As before notes below it.



Switched over to just one multi-button config panel with toolbar. Buttons go trees, stands, decorations, animated decorations.

Smiley, if you really want to use my tree, cool. I messed with it and tried it as a DXObjext. It looks cool. Especially if you use the entire landscape. Here is a shot of it over my current wall. I think it would work over anything. Let me know (Not trying to pushy) and I'll send you the png's.

Po, of course I'd like to use them.

Current Update:
Working on some of the GUI stuff & tightening up code

Still to Do:
* More GUI stuff
* Animated Decorations Panel
* Tree Saving/Loading

I will try and knock some presents and a couple extra ornaments give me a rough size I am just starting with DX

OH!  Very cool!
(I wonder if we can use a new widget engine for this.   )

And you really think these folks are paying attention to other posts in the forum?  

Looks good! Will it be available to those who don't use a registered DesktopX?

Zu,

this is going to use my new "Desktop Midgets" platform.



I'm thinking no bigger than 256px.



If you mean warez...then no, your computer will burst into flames!
If you mean run as a gadget, I guess I could make an additional gadget.

Getting there.

Looking very good SirSmiley, excellent job you and your friends are doing.     

Looks awesom!

I'll give you a dollar if you can have teh widget read another folder for audio files. 
I have some Christmas midi that would be perfect 

The audio shouldn't be a problem.

I've created a Folder for this over at Box.net. So, here's the links
The Main Project Folder
The Project Feed for that folder

Some notes:

* It's only an object & I won't put it into widget format until I hit beta
* On first run you'll get errors, you'll need to change the paths in the main script.
* It's an alpha hence there are some bugs & loose ends. Don't point them out as I'm aware of the issues and you'll just be wasting my time.
