I'm interested in creating some widgets for DesktopX, however I find that the "Developers Guide" is somewhat lacking in how to go about doing this. Something simple like using an image as my "window" for the app, and then writing text to the widget is not explained in any clear manner. I finally did figure out part of it, but I haven't been able to figure out how to make it scroll (the text is too long for the window).

Are there any books out there, any sites with tutorials that actually get into the meat of DesktopX? I've tried pulling apart things like the Stickies widget, but I can't figure out where they got the images or how they packed them all in together to make a usefull app.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.
