is it possible to pin an xpopup 'inside' an lsbox (or maybe xlabel though i havent tried it with lsdynamic) created at startup?
i cant get one inside a box.
what i'd like to do is have a pinned dynamic folder showing quickshorts inside an lsbox so that i may 1)slide the box around with LSDynamic 2)vary the size of the lsbox with a variable x=amount of shortcuts in the dynamic folder and finally 3)keep the properties of a dynamic folder (change contents on the fly).
even if i cant somehow use a shortcut count to vary the size of the box it would still be nice to have a pinned single dynamic folder inside an lsbox so that one doesnt have to 'create' images for each of the shortcuts entry/active/hover states a la xlabel (or whatever) .. instead using the shortcuts own icon (with e/a/h hue and saturation states) and a single e/a/h image underneath for each...(inside an lsbox) [ Edited ]

I think having a deskfolders-like module would be the best way around this. Given the features of xLabel and xPopup, the basics are obviously there. I think it'd be cool as well. Who knows? xLabel and xTaskbar development should be significantly retarding (bugs and minor features may be left to deal with, but the major features are there), so maybe we'll see another module in a few months.
ok. thanks.
yeah, there really isnt a definitive module like lslnkbox or lnkmenu and thats pretty surprising.
well, i guess i'll sit here and cut out 384 image states for my shortcuts. lol
(8 drawers, 2 menus each..lmb/rmb, 8 shortcuts per menu, and 3 states per shortcut)
You can do all this with the actual modules and some scripts (even inplace browsing).
Try to use your imagination instead of asking more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more...
this is the module forum right? where they answer questions about modules? not where people come in to add their little faggy opinions?
i mean, wow, ive got a total of like 7 posts and here you come prancing in like a little french poodle with an annoying yelp. here, imagine this.. me kicking the poodle. [ Edited Mon Oct 18 2004, 09:07AM ]
All I wanted to say is that Andymon is already doing a very impressive job. I'm an oldschool litesteper and the modules' development have never been so intense. If you only knew the old way of making themes... tricks, everywhere.
Andymon is not paid for coding modules. He must have a life in the real world, too. But I guess he spend most of this time coding and fixing bugs, for you all (and me, too)
So, when something can be done with everything you already have right under your hands, use your imagination. And post request for impossible situations.
If you need help, there'll always be someone to give you clues, but not the complete solution...
That's my opinion.

ok, to all xLabel Desktop users, if you want to enable the desktop funtion, you need to set "xLabelUsexDesktop"! !! else it couldn't work. sorry for forgetting to mention it in the readme *g* next time it will be in there

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.
