Darkman 4 Posted July 23, 2004 You have to admit, it's better than most official websites. 0 Share this post Link to post
LexiMax Posted July 23, 2004 The countdown would go on my active desktop if I could remove that fucking annoying background noise. 0 Share this post Link to post
sargebaldy Posted July 23, 2004 move this out of classic doom general please. 0 Share this post Link to post
rodent Posted July 23, 2004 For those annoyed by the sound just make the background image your wallpaper. Then add "www.ua-corp.com/nosound.html" as a desktop item. All credit for this idea goes to some guy on planetdoom who did it a few days ago 0 Share this post Link to post
Mogul Posted July 23, 2004 I think I would go insane if I had a countdown to DOOM 3 as my desktop for ten days. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
SYS Posted July 23, 2004 Incredibly long unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic: quite hypnotic. 0 Share this post Link to post

Mivalekan Posted July 24, 2004 It comes out August 3rd? Damnit that's the day I go back to school!! 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted July 24, 2004 Heh, the clock on the UA-Corp site is off by 1.5 seconds or so (I know because my computer is on Greenwich Meantime exactly) ;). 0 Share this post Link to post
Mogul Posted July 24, 2004 Err it's flash, how did you guys make it your wallpaper? By the way, I've been thinking... the first duty of every starfleet officer is to the troop. Agree/disagree? Post your thoughts here. 0 Share this post Link to post
rodent Posted July 25, 2004 You have to make it an Active Desktop object. Then active desktop treats the html page and its contents as an object on your desktop 0 Share this post Link to post

dczanik Posted July 26, 2004 For those not wanting sound on the UAC Website: http://www.ua-corp.com/nosound.html Also, to have this on your website (using Windows XP): 1. Right Click Desktop, Click Properties, Click the "Desktop" Tab. 2. Click on on the Customize Desktop button. 3. Click the "Web" Tab 4. Click the "New..." Button 5. Type in the internet address (url) and click OK. 6. Click OK. If everything goes fine it should synchronize. From there, you can make it fullscreen, in a window, or whatever. Hope this helps! - Damon 0 Share this post Link to post
