Strange title is'n it?
Here it is:
I want to make a bar (kind of "quck lauch bar") that displays the content of a folder in icon form. So the end result should look like a systray, but the icons in it would be those representing the content of a folder (a folder with shortcuts to my fav apps for ex).
I think it would be a module that asks for a background immage, a path to the folder, and the icon sise to be displayed (something raly simple, indeed).
I looked a lot for something like this but, no clue, unless I missed something, do I?
If there is no module doing that, I think that it could be cool implementing this in xLabel.
It would work like a text escape sequence and should look like:
[displayicons(pathtothefolder(iconsise))]
ANd I would use it making a simple label that in stead of displayng text, displays the icons from the folder I specify.
This would help making siple quicklauch bars, where the themer has not to worry about how the end user will display its fav shortcuts, cause the usre will only have to set the path. You can imagine even creating quicklauch bars on the fly (like with the explorer bar).
Well so please tell me is this possible or is there a module that does ths allready.

Ok, that's cool ,with a little tweaking, I get the layout that I need.
Now, I would like to hook the popup into a xLabel
And I see in the readme tat modules can be hooked in the popup, but nothing about popup being hooked into...something else
Did I missed a setting somewhere
