Hi,
I'm reasonably new at litestep and i am needing some help :). i'm working off a theme i downloaded, i have added an lsxcommand bar which works nicely, my question on the command bar is: how do i code in commands? ie:
when i type explorer, it runs windows explorer, if i wanted to run a program of my choice when i type whatever i like how would i code it? type:bob run:program x.

Ok my next question involves setting up a taskbar, the existing taskbar is using the module taskbar3.dll this taskbar works how i want it to but i want to set it up @ the bottom of the desktop, ok so i change this code:
TaskbarX 274
TaskbarY 0
to:
TaskbarX 274
TaskbarY 840 or so

now this moves the taskbar, it lets programs minimise and it shows them correctly but when i click on individual programs to maximise, it only maximises one of the programs, even if it's not the one i clicked on. here is my code for the whole taskbar:

TaskbarPositioning true
TaskbarX 274
TaskbarY 0
TaskbarWidth $ResolutionX-489$
TaskbarHeight 32
TaskbarBorder 1 0 3 11
TaskbarSpacing 2
TaskbarButtonBorder 0 0 -1 0
TaskbarButtonFontBorder 6 6 0 0
TaskbarUseToolTips true
;TaskbarMaxTaskWidth 150
TaskbarUseRealFlashing true
TaskbarNoSkinShift true
TaskbarNoFontShift true
TaskbarIconShow false
TaskbarHorizontalFontAlign .center
TaskbarNormalFontFace Tahoma
TaskbarNormalFontHeight 12
TaskbarNormalFontBold true
TaskbarActiveFontBold true
TaskbarMinimizedFontBold true
TaskbarFlashingFontBold true
TaskbarNormalFontColor 000000
TaskbarActiveFontColor 000000
TaskbarMinimizedFontColor 000000
TaskbarFlashingFontColor 000000
TaskbarUseFontShadow true
TaskbarNormalFontShadowColor EEA41A
TaskbarActiveFontShadowColor EEA41A
TaskbarMinimizedFontShadowColor EEA41A
TaskbarFlashingFontShadowColor EEA41A

TaskbarRButtonUp !Execute [!GrdTransparentSet 1 0][!Popup][!grdTransparentFade 1 255 10 1]

any help would be greatly appreciated.

1 - look in the lsxcommand documentation for *CommandAlias

2 - to put something at the bottom of your screen you should really use negative coordinates, like Taskbary -100 to put it 100 pixels above the bottom of the screen... but i dont know what the problem is with maximizing tasks
