Well with a new release comes new problems. Heres one or two I have found:
xTaskbarIconY
Additionally you can make the position relative to the center of the TaskButton by appending the character 'c' after the number ("32c", "-128c").
This funciton doesn't seem to work correctly. It puts it relative to the bottom edge rather than the center. It does work correctly with IconX though, so its just IconY thats broken.
Other than that i have more of a question. I currently have my taskbar set up so that when a line is added, the icon position and font height changes, and changes back when a line is removed, but if i refresh with 2 lines up, then it will have the default settings rather than the settings for 2 lines. Is it possible to set it up so it wont do this? if you have any ideas plz tell me.

OK, one bug that surfaced in 1.1.8:
I have bangs to control the size and appearance of modules in my taskbar (ie to gain more space for program icons if need be). One of them hides Rainmeter and stretches xTaskbar to overlap the space it occupied. Previously this worked fine, but starting from 1.1.8, the space that Rainmeter occupied becomes a hall-of-mirrors, ie. that xTaskbar refuses to draw into it and anything drawn into it is not erased.
It works just fine if i hide Rainmeter and do not stretch xTaskbar, so I can see my label background behind.
Both of the modules are hooked into a label, so in theory, the bug may be a combination of xLabel, xTaskbar and Rainmeter operations, but I suspected xTaskbar, as changing the versions of any other modules doesn't help and regardless of their version, using xTaskbar 1.1.8 is the only way to replicate this bug.
my taskbar behaves somewhat strange: first off, the buttons are "offscreen" as if i had set negative offsets, which i haven't (no offset at all). then if i add a task, the buttons move slightly to the right so i can see more of them.
also it doesn't wrap right (i'm probably doing something wrong here): according to my setup, every button should appear above the others. but in fact xtaskbar puts two in a row
The result is a taskbar which does what it's supposed to (sits in the bottomleft and grows up) but only the topmost image shows up, and the rest is just empty space (garbled images which hold onto any image which passes over it... a black hole if you will).

Actually that did not solve the problem I was having. It seems that xTaskbar refuses to use the space other hooked modules did use, even if they become disabled and xTaskbar is stretched to cover them.
Setting a background or transparency mode does not affect this. If you need an example theme and/or screenshots of the dilemma, just ask.

Thanks a lot for your GREAT work guis , xmodules are transforming the Litestep shell in a much more fancy/varsatile thing.

>Andymon - woot!
>GothsSecret - If necessary, you could probably reduce the gaps between the center and the sides, for those with lower resolutions (not me, I'm at 1280x1024!).

Just wanna tell:
HighColor(16bit) is coming for all xModules in the near future, finally.

hehe, now I like it too, I wassn't sure if it'll look good if we put a second menu right handed but now it's ok, so no need for a complete change anymore

Hello everyone!
This layout is just fine, don't get why you want to change it?!
