The version you have is good forever. When DX 4 rolls out you have teh choice of upgrading or not.

Any idea when version 4 will be out? For those of us thinking about buying pro will there be a big enough improvement to version 4 to make it worth while to wait until it comes out. If we buy now how much will the upgrade price be

Thats what i was thinking when i say is it worth it. As it stands right now with standard versions kinda has a mind of its own. Any one using vista and Dx knows what i am talking about.  Don't get me wrong. I will always use Dx. I just hope pro is a little more stable.

Jim you are right. It does make stand alone Gadgets. So if i could make some vista sidebar gadgets for people who do not have Dx. Then it is worth.

I am still begging my wife to get it for me for my Birthday!

Murex, I have done my Home work and there is no upgrade. You do have to Buy the whole package for 70$ no discounts.

Funny, that's what Wizard says too. And others I've heard. I use vista and have no problems with DX, but I do use the pro version.

Here is an example: As you know i make DX themes.

I have not made one or have been using DX for a while. maybe 2 months.

I go to load up one of my themes and My date text or digital clock do not work. I go in dx folder and those plug-ins are gone.

I made them with those plug-ins . where did they go. I have not updated or deleted them. they are just gone.

Vista and Dx also still don't let the system tray or task bar work on vista.

Jim you also might  have a good rig to work on. Mine is nothing but trouble. I am sending it back to HP for the third time to fix bios, fan and motherboard and new battery. second battery thats gone bad in less than a year.

So i am sure each computer with vista work differently with Dx.

IMHO I wouldn't buy pro right now unless you plan on selling gadgets. My reasoning is that if DX 4 has a lot of new improvements then you/i would have to plunk down another 70 bucks to get vs..4.  Think about it if we buy vs..3 now and they release vs..4 in four or six months then we will have paid out $140.00.
 
Not much has been done with DX for a long time now and no one is saying any thing about new features. Or much of any thing about DX  Remember there are some issues that need to be fixed in DX

I assume this means if you buy pro vs.3 now you will have to pay again when vs 4 comes out.

I understand your point, Don. I was wondering why I hadn't seen any work from you lately. I have heard about this plugin disappearing act, so I started keeping a backup of them. But have never needed to use them.

As you know, I specialize in DX themes to match Windowblinds skins. So I never cared about the system tray or taskbar anyway. Personal preference, but I would rather see the windowblind skinned taskbar than to include one with my DX theme. A comment was once made about a theme I made, the person commenting was expecting a "full DX theme". I have since come to understand he meant a start button and a taskbar. I have no need for these.

You probably would be better off waiting for DX4. I do intend to make some standalone gadgets as soon as I get the bugs worked out of the Weather reverting to my location.

That would be my choice. I doubt if they will fix the problems before the release of v 4
