I know that 1/2 the "HELP ME" threads are by me, but I have another
I've been able to hook labels to other labels just fine with the simple-syntax that it uses. However I can't seem to get any other modules to hook at all.
The do[*&/§=!$]entation says to add (for lsxcommand) a "CommandWaitForBox" line to step.rc, and *(label-name)ModuleHook !CommandBoxHook to your step.rc.
That's the label I want to hook it to, my question is, can I put the two hooking lines right after these lines in my "label.rc" file? Should I put the lines in my "command.rc" file? Or should I put the lines right in the theme.rc file?
Essentially I'm asking what order the 4 components have to be in (Label Declaration, Command Declaration, WaitForBox line, and ModuleHook line).
Gah, I've never understood why people split their .rc files into a separate file for each module. But in general, when you're hooking a module into xLabel(light) or LSBox, you do it like this:
1. Load the module being hooked (for example, LSXCommand)
2. If possible, use the "wait for box" setting for that module.
3. Load xLabel(light).
4. Declare the label or box that will hook the first module (in this case, CommandHooker).
5. Add your *ModuleHook line.
A quick explanation:
First, you need to load the module you want to have hooked, or else xLabel(light) won't have anything to load.
Then you tell the module to wait to be hooked. After that, you load xLabel(light) (after all, you need it loaded before you can make a label), and declare and configure your label. Lastly, you tell the label to hook the module from the beginning.

I have a lot of problems getting lsxcommand to hook too, must be because of the same reason.
Could you post the exact syntax please? Right now i feel more stupid than you do

Just one thing about RavidVWM, the older versions generally had problems to hook in xLabel, so you definitly should use the newest rabidvwm version 1.1.1

Actually I've gotten it to work now, but the label containing lsxcommand dissapears after a !recycle, and litestep hangs.

What xLabel version are you using? I've had some oddities in the 3.2-beta with the label holding LSXCOmmand having contents at strange negative coords, even if I move them. A much simpler config than yours.

I use the latest 3.2 beta, but I've been having this problem ever since I started using xLabel (if i recall correctly, had this problem with lsBox too!)

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?!
