i have edited this file to suit my needs but i just can't seem to be able to figure out the command for enabling the taskbar.
i have set my taskbar so that if i right click on the gripper(?) it hides. to display the taskbar again i have to do shift+click and select enable bar under bar options. if i wanted to do this with a hotkey what is the proper command for it? if this is impossible with the current version please tell me and put me out of my misery.

nope. never mind. i got it. :-)



litestep continues to impress me. good job guys!

You should be able to hide and show your taskbar without recycling the theme. Depending on how you are hiding your bar, I imagine that recycling will bring it back regardless of your !EnableBar bang. Are you familiar with the bangs !TaskbarHide and !TaskbarShow?

recycling the theme does not bring back the disabled bar. i am not just hiding it. i was looking for commands to enable and disable it as you can see. if i did !TaskbarHide and !TaskbarShow it only hides the middle part of the bar and not the whole thing.

if you put everything into an lsbox, you can hide everything with one bang, and you won't need to recycle.

You should be able to do the same using mzscript to hide multiple modules at once also (which I assume !EnableBar is a version of). Either way you should be able to set it up so you don't have to recycle.

drworm: you can, and I used to do it that way in my theme. but then you can run into ontop problems. it's a LOT easier to just put everything into a box.
