cant get a simple script to work via desktop2

SetDesktopArea
SDALeft 10
SDARight 0
SDATop 10
SDABottom -10
want to make a border when window maximized , running dual monitor is that causing the script not to work?

din't work, I mean all i have to do is stick that command in base.rc right?
could this be related to the fact that even if I don't specify !popup to appear on rbutton click it still does and I dont know what's making it happen.

sounds like the base.rc doesn't change much

what does your NLM line look like for Desktop2, it may not even be loading?

that must be it I , toped netload mudle form loading becasue I thought it was only for automatically loading modules form the net if youdin't have it,does it do more? I replaced all my netLoadmdule with just loadmodule in my theme.rc..............was that a real bad move?


SO do I have to go back into my scripts and load NLM and describe all "that NLM dir stuf" in my scripts if I have to can tell me what I have to do to just load desktop2 via NLM.

Well it's certainly a bad thing if you ever want to distribute the theme as OTS2 compliant. Otherwise, meh. Personally, I don't think it's worth the hassle to do without NLM, but then I think that rain is wet, so who am I to judge?

If you can right click on the desktop and get a popup menu, some desktop module is loaded, possibly the one you want. If you get the path right, it shouldn't be a problem.

Try !alert '$SDALeft$ $SDATop$ $SDARight$ $SDABottom$' to see if they're set to what you think they're set to. If they.re set twice, anything after the first time is ignored.

ok it so it does work I am setting the desktop area correctly but why when I maximize a window it dosent maximize to my set desktop area?

Posted by member 1 on 2004-04-24 19:20:26 link

what does it maximize too?

Posted by member 135953 on 2004-04-24 21:39:36 link

see it looks like its maximizing to Top 1 or 2 there is a lil gap between the top of the window and the top of the desktop I am trying to close it , that is why I want to set the desktop area withing the module.
