Hey, I have read the doc's this time for popup2 and a few others.

What I'm looking for is a way to make a popup from a shortcut image, thats easy, the part that I can't find out how to do or have seen in a theme is where I can specify where that popup has a specific starting point x y and go like up instead of down.

If this is done in another module please let me know so I can read it and and try my had at it.
I am in need of creating 3 totally seperate popups, and 2 use different images than the standard popup and there locked to a certian area of the screen.

Thanks,
Trell

well, this isn't EXACTLY what you're asking for, but here goes:
in the area you want the popup to be, create a shortcut that opens the popup. kinda like the start menu. you click the start menu, and it opens up right there. not necessarily because it CAN'T open up anywhere else, but that's where it was opened from, so it stays there. does that make sense? the theme I'm using now has one like that for my frequently used programs, so I know it works, I'm just not sure if I'm explaining it well.

Trell, use LsBox...

deuce, to help explain a little better i made a quick image http://www.trells.com/demo.jpg

Smurth, I will read the LsBox, thanks.

ok, just do something like this:
*Shortcut "Quick Launch" 85 0 (the name of the image you're clicking on) xxx.bmp xxx.bmp #15T .none (command for the popup ex. !popup1)

of course, put it all on one line. all this does is make the image you're clicking on a shortcut that launches whichever popup you assign to it. lemme know if this helps.

you can use bpopup for the different images

Slight addition to deuce's suggestion:
*Shortcut "Programs" 47 0 xxx.png (the name of the image you're clicking on) xxx.png (hover) xxx.png (click) #15T (shortcutgroup) !PopupWhatever (command for the popup ex.) 7 42 left top (being the cordinates for the left top of the popup)

It would look like this:
*shortcut "Programs" 47 0 directory.png directory2.png directory3.png #15T !PopupDir 47 42 left top

Hope this helps. :)

thanks underhill, I didn't have time to look up what every switch did. I just copied that almost directly out of my current step.rc.

Sweet, thanks guys. I will play around with that :)
I'm about 90% done with the base theme, then I get to work on creating different skins for it :)
