Hiya to the litestep.net community! There's a question posted in the litestep section of "Demented forum" so as a mod of the forum, i believe why not i post this in here where they might be better responses to the below mentioned question? Thank you in advance. ;)

P.S: The below mentioned question has been edited to make it easier for reading...
---------------------------------------------------------

Can anyone kindly tell me if there´s a way to put the tasks images on top of a shortcut image because i´m making a theme. The only problem is that tasks only work if i
remove the shortcut image wich is the background of the tasks iface when they aren't all open.

When i remove that shortcut image it makes transparent the unused parts of tasks and i´m realy furious because i´ve spend days to design all the iface and popup menu for this theme which has two versions:

blue and green ...

;dynamp.dll+lsslider.dll+shortcut2.dll***********

*etc...
*Shortcut "© di50rd3R 2003 ExplicitPunk.U4L.com" 493 1168 tsk-face-b.png .none .none
*etc...

TasksX 493
TasksY -8
TasksWrapCount 12
TasksWrapDirection up
TasksDirection right

TasksHeight 24
TasksWidth 24

TasksHighLightSelected
TasksHighLightMinimized
TasksHideMinAppBar
TasksNoMove

Thank you very much in advance.

iirc you have to change tasks' DockWindow setting, either to .none or to the shortcut class. You could also try adding the K flag to the shortcut. Make sure you load shortcut2 before tasks.

I always love how people make up settings, just because it seems like that is what they want... "TasksNotAlwaysOnTop"?!

Hmmm, how about "TasksGiveMeAMillionDollars". :)

Anyway, ilmcuts suggestion should do the trick. But "TaskszOrder" and "TasksDockWindow" are the settings you want to play with.
