Frogboy Administrators Posted March 6, 2004 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2004 Download This is the Screen Saver's Longhorn dock that was shown on TechTV the other day. It was actually a team effort between myself, Paul Boyer, and Martin Conroy. You do NOT need to have DesktopX RUNNING to use this. You just have to have it installed so that it can use its DLLs. You can get DesktopX at http://www.desktopx.net Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/146075-widget-techtv-longhorn-dock/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderRiver Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I think The Screen Savers is a good show.. but I don't like Leo or Patrick.. if both hosts are replaced with someone more knowledgeable and more sincere, the show would be better.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted March 6, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 6, 2004 way to contribute thunder. I think it's a good dock, but it's just a recoloring of the sidebar created a while ago, it seems.

Frogboy Administrators Posted March 6, 2004 Author Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2004 Well first off, recoloring? No. More like a fully new set of graphics. Secondly, the Mp3 player is now integrated with Windows Media Player instead of Object Media. Third, it has a stock ticker on it. 4th, it has a battery meter on it. Fifth, the media area will let you choose between radio, CD, and other medias. Obviously any longhorn dock is going to have some similarities. But saying it's a recoloring isn't doing it justice.

roth377 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 They had a SmartBar Xp on that show about a month ago and that looks a lot nicer than this one. SmartBarXP may look nicer, but I always had it crash on me :) Now before everybody starts responding on how it never crashed on them, I'm just telling MY experience. ;) I've been using DesktopX and haven't had any problems.
