Hey fellas, me again...
I know you have a lot on your plate, what with 3 modules and all, but I had a bit of an idea. What about an xSysTray? Now, I'm clueless when it comes to coding, but I'd think you could possibly take xTaskbar and switch it over to looking at the systray icons instead, and strip out the text-display code... That way we can have our cake, and eat it too! Well, it's probably not that simple, but still, a systray module from Andymon could be nothing but awesome.
Stuff like my previous post, which was sort-of cured by fake transparency -When I maximize my windows I was hoping the icons would show the tops over the bottom of the window, didn't realize fake transparency turns Magic Pink into the background... neat feature, but doesn't quite work for what I was needing- could be cured by alphatransparency instead. This could be sweet!
edit- ooh, you could even leave the text display in and add possibility for a clock (which, upon mouseover, would display the date)... [ Edited ]

I don't think display would be the problem. Updating the systray icons, animating them, and getting proper mouse actions to work is a bit odd with some older modules and other shells. No way it'd be that way if it weren't cifficult to do.
On the clock bit...xLabel can take care of that right now.

I know... the systray may be difficult, good point... and I'm aware that labels can already handle the clock... but said modules weren't based out of already-stable code. This would be.
Perhaps even adding a bit into xtaskbar would work. perhaps a xTaskbarType "systray" which defaults to tasks, but if added would display?

Handling the windows system tray and active tasks is completely different. All the visuals would prolly not to be hard to implement considering all the xmodules are running the same code for it, but you cant just add system tray functionality to an existing module. But I think if AndyMon has time after finishing his current projocts, he will continue to rewrite all of the modules as xmodules.

there is a Readme mistake in xTaskbar, it issn't called
xtaskbarautosort
the right syntax is:
xTaskbarSort

sorry, but your request is a little unclear. moreover you can't expect people to help you if you just throw in one line... say what you want more specifically, and what you've achived/tried so far.
