Desktop Widget

[Sauercrowd]

Greetings to all

Well I´m looking for an easy solution to create some desktop widgets and came across Multimedia Fusion. The demo seems very robust and has a great GUI. So after a few minutes I was able to create something. Now the problem is that I need a masked window. Meaning the header of the normal window is deactivated. I just want to create a custom shaped window. But I also want the user to be able moving it around with some kind of "GRIP" inside the application made out of an active. Centering the window to the position of the mouse while being over the active AND pressing the left mouse button just gives me a wild flashing window all over the place. Is there a way to get the desktop resolution so I can do some math to position the window? Or do I have to look elsewhere for such a desktop widget?

Thanks in advance

window shape object.....

Yes, I allready have a shaped window object. But the header bar is deactivated. With header bar on I can drag around the window on the desktop by left clicking and holding mouse on the headerbar. Now the header is gone and I need to create a button do the dragging. But is there an object to get the users desktop resolution?

Thanx for the tip Ran. Can I use extensions with the demo?

See Andos' custom window example.

Also, there's a widget on these forums somewhere called the Drag Window widget. You could use/modify this for what you're working on, and it doesn't use a new extension!
