Hey all,

been a looooong time since I have messed with litestep and I have a question. How can I set an "uncoverable" area on my desktop so that something like a dock can exist in the area but windows are forced to not maximize into the space?

is it just a simple line I need to add or is this something too complex to do?

Thanks for any help.

it's just a simple line :)
look through the docs of your desktop module (should be either jdesk or desktop2).

from the jDesk readme:

jDeskWorkArea "0,0,0,0"

Sets the initial Work Area (amount of screen real estate that a maximized window covers) of your Desktop for the primary monitor.

Accepts negative and positive decimal values, which combined create the WorkArea "box". Opposite sides must have a difference greater than 200. The order of values are:

",,,"

*Note: If ".none" is specified for any of the values, then that value is unchanged from its previous state.

Defaults to: "0,0,0,0" *Note: This sets the WorkArea to full screen.
