Can someone write here sample code of working Desktop using xLabel.
in step.rc:
xLabelDesktopConfigFile "$ConfigDir$desktop_icons.rc"
include "$ConfigDir$desktop_icons.rc"
then call
!LabelDesktopCreate "replace" "$Desktop$"
i have had trouble getting the icons to display correctly, however.
IconDesk is more reliable afaik.
Hi all,
A word from the developer ;)
xLabel Desktop Emulation is not so advanced as IconDesk (no MyFiles, Drives, ...). The only reasons, someone would use xLabel Desktop are:
First afaik IconDesk doesn't work properly on older OS,
next is the unique xLabel Desktop feature of DRAGGABLE ICONS WITH AUTOMATIC POSITIONSAVING
and last you mustn't load an extra module for a desktop.
The display problems (XP, Pink Outlines !?) will be fixed with upcoming 2.6 ;)
To create a desktop there must be simply the *xlabeldesktopitem lines, which create "Labels" with one line. Write them manually or use above posted method ;). Problems with case sensitivity (no saving) will also be fixed in 2.6.
Most other settings affect only the first layout of the DesktopIcons, when you create it, therefore, use them or not. The key feature is the dragging and saving so every auto repostitioning would be contra productive.
