*script bang !SwitchTaskMode

*script gotoif ("%{TaskMode}" = "min") MaxMode

*script gotoif ("%{TaskMode}" = "max") MinMode

*script label MaxMode
*script exec !xTaskbarRepositionBy xTaskbar 0 0 %{TaskSizeDif} 0
*script exec !xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbar ShowText True
; *script exec !xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbar MaxButtonWidth 80
; *script exec !xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbar OnAdd !xTaskbarRepositionBy 0 0 83 0
; *script exec !xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbar OnRemove !xTaskbarRepositionBy 0 0 -83 0
*script exec !varMul TaskSizeDif -1
*script exec !varSet TaskMode "max"
*script exit

*script label MinMode
*script exec !xTaskbarRepositionBy xTaskbar 0 0 %{TaskSizeDif} 0
*script exec !xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbar ShowText False
; *script exec !xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbar MaxButtonWidth 23
; *script exec !xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbar OnAdd !xTaskbarRepositionBy 0 0 26 0
; *script exec !xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbar OnRemove !xTaskbarRepositionBy 0 0 -26 0
*script exec !varMul TaskSizeDif -1
*script exec !varSet TaskMode "min"
*script exit

This is my bang for switching between an icon-only taskbar, and an icon-with-text taskbar.

The !xTaskbarReposition works great, but all of the !xTaskbarRefresh lines don't do diddly-squat.

Actually it's worse than not doing anything. When grouping is enabled, it creates another item for every group in my taskbar, so that when you click on a tile, it suddenly has a context-menu. And if you execute the bang again, there's another item in the menu.

I hope I'm speaking (er, typing) coherantly.

Wow... you know what, I'm getting really tired of posting bugs that don't exist.

My mistake.

*script exec !xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbar ShowText True

should have been

*script exec !xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbarShowText True

or even

*script exec !xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbar xTaskbarShowText True

...

for some reason I assumed you only needed to put the option being changed, and not the xTaskbar prefix. I really need to read the docs better... or go to bed earlier

Good you found the main problem yourself

Ok, some basics about !refresh:
This always does a complete Refresh of the module, so if you want to change MANY settings at once you should do the following (assumed that you use xLabel).
Use

!setevar xTaskbarShowText True
instead of
!xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbarShowText True
and so on

till the last !xTaskbarrefresh line ("!xTaskbarRefresh xTaskbarOnRemove !xTaskbarRepositionBy 0 0 -83 0"), this one leave unchanged.
This would update all settings, but only refreshing the Taskbar with the last setting.
Another method would be to use a complete different taskbar (Multiple Taskbars) and simply do a Show/Hide.

Ah very nifty, thanks a bunch

Can I assume that !xTaskbarRepositionBy does not do a complete refresh of the modules?

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?!
