Labels desk2
desk2X 50
desk2Y -30
desk2Width 50
desk2Height 30
desk2LeftBorder 0
desk2RightBorder 0
desk2TopBorder 0
desk2BottomBorder 0
desk2image "vwmnonactive.bmp"
desk2OnLeftClick !execute[!VWMDesk 2][!desk2image "vwmactive.bmp"]


Left clicking on the label desk2 does nothing. Im using ckvwm-1.40 and label-1.99.

Have a space between your "!execute" and the bracket ([).
!desk2image is probably not a valid bang either, unless it is yours (see !about for a list of available bangs).
Label is unable to change its labels' graphics via a bang.
xLabel can, however.

It can be tough. To fully take advantage of a module you have to know all its capabilities. I find reading the documentation several times helpful.

I switched to xlabel-2.2.1, but the closest thing i found to switching the image at runtime is !labelSetText . How is it possible that I can do it with an image? Thanks for your help.

Why not use a seperate label instead? Hide the old one, show the new one?

I think !LabelRefresh is only in the newer xLabel/xLabelLight versions.. perhaps around 3.0 and later

Thank you! Making a new label and using !labelshow and !labelhide works perfectly.

I dont feel like making another topic for this, but I got one more question. It's about Taskbar3.dll.
i use this

TaskbarIconShow False
and
TaskbarIconSize 0

There is this big blank spce where the icon should go. How do I get rid of this? Thanks in advance.

adjust your TaskbarButtonFontBorder

All borders are set as 1.

Thanks! I thought these were the same thing.

TaskbarButtonTextBorder 0 0 0 0
TaskbarButtonFontBorder 0 0 0 0
