I'm using the simplicity theme and I'm wondering if there's a way to put a picture in the taskbar, like a logo or something. The blue area is the taskbar, and the red area is where I'd like my logo. How would I go about doing such a thing? Thanks!

Thats a very good looking taskbar.

well, you could make a label using the image, or a shortcut (if you want it to do something when you click on the image). you would have to make the taskbar shorter though, so the area is freed up where you want the image to go.

Yea, I don't have a problem making the taskbar shorter. The icons are small so I can probaly fit about twenty different ones =O And, now that you mention giving the picture a function, is there a way I can make it change the wallpaper everytime I click it?

Use lswchanger.

I don't get it, so what do I do? ;P

assign the "picture" a bang that executes lswchanger.dll with whatever criteria you want to use with it.

"I don't get it, so what do I do?"

Depends on what you've done. I didn't make it obvious but lswchanger is a module you'll need to include in the theme. Lswchanger has a variety of neat and advanced options to control your wallpaper. Take a look at the doc for it. It has some really good examples of how you can use it.

No no, before that. I just need to fit my logo into the taskbar ;P Would I have to make a new image and put a code in somewhere?

It might just appear on its own. Actually i think you will need an image and code, you could resize the taskbar to be smaller and place the image in the freed up space with an lsbox or something, drworm will pry give you a more detailed explanation :-)

use shortcut2.dll - the most simple module ever created ;)
(k, not the most simple, but simple enough)

or label.dll
