I have seen it in a few litestep themes but for the life of me i cant find one now. What i want to add is a left click that brings up list of current open task's, as apposed to having them listed on the task bar...any help would be greatly apreciated..even the name of a theme that has it so i can search it out on my own..

Open your personal.rc. There'll be a few lines starting with "*desktop" which are read by desktop2 and some lines starting with "jdesk" for themes using jdesk.dll. The desktop2 documentation is here http://lsdocs.shellfront.org/desktop.php - what you want to add is something like
*Desktop lbutton !PopupTasks
!PopupTasks is a !bang registered by popup2, as you can find out here http://lsdocs.shellfront.org/popup.php
For the appropriate jdesk lines you'll have to check the readme in the jdesk zip as I'm not familiar with its syntax.

...but !PopupTasks may not exactly suit your need. Then, take a look at the end of the tasks.dll help file. It precisely describe how to do things like that. I recommand using tasks.dll instead !PopupTasks because of its powerfull features.
Have fun
