To xlabel or to not xlabel Thread last updated on 2004-01-30 21:00:57

Are there any reasons to not use xlabel?

The truth is, I am just wrapping up my
first theme. It has been a real learning
experience. I made _extensive_ use of
label 1.99, and am cringing at the thought
of re-writing. But xlabel has some features
that could simplify the truly freaky
structures I had to write to get the
functionality I wanted.

I can see I'll need to review all of my
options module-wise before my next theme.
This started as a really simple project, but
has now taken over my home code time.

TBH, I modify every theme I d/l (that has amp controls/display) to use xlabel instead of label, because it supports foobar display.

Re-write it is. The more I review the xlabel readme, the more I see. The things I had to do to get some things done were...fugly It is a testament to the flexibility of LS though. Amazing what I could do with a working knowledge of only 3 or 4 modules.
