Hi!
I'm a newbe here and try to understand how things work.
Well I just downloaded Taskbar3 0.7 alpha 1 from http://www.shellfront.org/modules-list.php and was wondering because of the changes.
Well my problem is the design of Buttons, till now there were 3 images for a Button BG, but in the new version, you set a BG Image and anyhow have to adjust it witch Taskbar3NormalBgImageEdges, but I have no idea, how this works. I've read the docs, googled, but didn't find anything.

Maybe someone here can help me?

It should works like label or skinbox edges... but I never tried taskbar3.307...

Does it not work with a simple Taskbar3NormalBgImageEdges 4 1 4 2 to represent a border of 4 on the left, 1 on the top, 4 on the right, and 2 on the bottom?

Well, maybe it's buggy, I don't know, but when I set Taskbar3NormalBgImageEdges to 30 10 0 0
what is 30 left, 10 right and 0 top/bottom
it cuts the image fine, but I only see the middlething and the right and left borders are gone in all buttons except the most left, but the image there doesn't fit anymore.

I think there is a good reason why this module is still in alpha-stage ;)

I suggest you use the previous version (whatever that is) until 0.7 goes a little further. I also wanted to try the latest and greatest in taskbar-modules, but there were to many things I couldn't figure out with this one, so I switched back.

I think I remember jesus_mjjg (the author) "warning" about the state which 0.7 is in, so that it might not be such a good idea using this module as of now.
