I'm creating a very basic bar-style theme and I want to add some icons onto the taskbar area to launch definable apps. What's the easiest way I can do this? (I'm trying to use as few modules as possible)
On the same line, can I create a button or area that will open a custom Popup menu when clicked?
You could use shortcut2.dll-it's relatively simple to use. and yes, it can start popups.
I'm curious why shortcut3.dll is 300k, what is its advantage? or does it have one?
dunno, read the docs that it comes with, should tell ya.
there is a quicklaunch module also...or you could use deskfolders...
shortcut3 is a lot more mightier than shortcut2. for example it can use per-pixel alpha-transparent PNGs. what it lacks is documentation. you´ll have to look at $LiteStepDir$changes.txt to find out more.
I saw other shortcut modules like EasyCut. Which of these "alternate" modules is the easist to configure and most flexible? (ie, I like the description about EasyCut with drag and drop adding of shortcuts, etc)
The fun thing about Litestep is getting to decide for yourself which is the 'best'. :) You'll get as many different answers as there are modules when asking which to use. Have fun. :P
