>When hooking vtray I am trying to give it an auto width. It works when have autowidth in vtray but not in xlabel.

you'll have to do a !labelresize using systrayonadd/ondel, read the docs of both modules for the propper syntax.

>I read that I shouldn't use negative values in xlabel. I dont seem to have problems with it (unless it causes other problems I can't explain. (like the upper-left hand corner acts up after refreshing litestep.

no problems. dunno what you have in the upper-left hand corner.

>I am having problems hooking xtaskbar into xlabel. I tried puting this: xtaskbarloadinbox in xtaskbar and configuring a hook into xlabel and had no luck. When I refresh, litestep doesn't even load.

check the loading order, taskbar has to be loaded before xlabel.

>Is there a way to give xtaskbar a group? If so I dont need to hook it into xlabel (I dont think).

if you wanted hooked then hook it, i dont understand what you mean by *group*.
