XP: LS taskbar3 right-click issue Thread last updated on 2003-09-30 18:00:08

Posted by member 41031 on 2003-09-28 13:06:27

If I right click on an app listed in the taskbar I get the normal windows menu, if I click away, and back again the button becomes unresponsive. Even after a recycle the button is still unresponsive. If I start a new app right click works the first time (on the new app's button only) and then becomes unresponsive yet again. Anyone have this problem before? I'm using the 8/15/03 build of taskbar3.dll and the following script in my step. I've tried everything I can think of and now I'll pass it to you guys

Are you running litestep inside explorer and not as your default shell?

Lord Zelo, it's my default shell

I know I had that bug at home, with at least some taskbar3 builds (I haven't narrowed the bug's origin down). The solution seems like trying another build. I will send you a mail with a link to the newest taskbar3 and the right settings (that I will convert from the above settings)...

You may not have the right stuff in your step.rc file for the taskbar.. try commenting all the button stuff out and see what happens when the module just sets it's default stuff. I had a problem with some of that stuff and I think I just commented it out and it worked for me. But, I run litestep over explorer at the moment, I do so when I develope themes. So, my circumstances are a bit different than yours.
