I have desktopX running with IconX and right click will not work, however when I unload IconX it works fine. so the problem is not DX it IX.

someone check this one out quick, I can't live without IconX

I have DX. It doesn't work as right click, but it does if I use my *windows* key.

Diane... if you want the Windows key back to deafult....... Open the Configuration dialog > Hotkey tab, and use the Clear Key button.

Ahhhh, that worked. Right click works now. I'm going to have to play with it some...

Thanks~

Same here, not working with IconX running.

and broken with dual monitor setup - menu only appears on primary adapter - with that said - the concept looks cool and useful.

I find it impossible to believe it was not tested in this configuration

First, it is beeing tested right now, by you, me, and others. That's the nature of beta software. :)
Second, I believe IconX within DX is or will be dropped to have IconX only as a seperate app.

Testing it at the moment and so far I just love it!

Lightning fast!

Seems to be working great for me. Just a little buggy when it pops up from time to time.

How do I go about skinning this? How do I create an .obskin file?

SkinStudio I believe.

I know paxx, I just meant that it's such an obvious issue that they would certainly already know about it, so one would think they would have mentioned it. I know IconX already is available standalone, but I hadn't heard they were going to totally de-integrate it with DX... But I guess that doesn't change the fact it doesn't get along with RightClick.

Working on dual monitors here with one small annoyance......... the menu pops up left of the cursor on 2nd monitor regardless of position on screen, which means if I click too near the left edge of 2nd monitor, the menu will be split between both moniotrs.

RightClick should also be able to import in your WindowBlinds skins.

As for DesktopX - what we hope to do is have RightClick detect whether you're running DesktopX and add a DesktopX entry to the menu.

RightClick did NOT respect my unchecked "Show Desktop Icons" desktop right-click setting. When I start RightClick, it immediately brings back my desktop icons, which I obviously want hidden. Also, OD zoom no longer works and my wallpaper disappears, too! I'd also like to be able to have the "New" submenu available to me with RightClick.

I agree with CaveBear, having the "New" submenu that lets you create new objects from the available templates is very important. Preferably it should make available everything that was already on explorer's right-click menu.

Also, I'm not quite sure how I can import into RightClick an ObjectBar popup bar I'd already created. Is that even possible yet?
