placing an image on the desktop Thread last updated on 2006-02-17 02:23:49

I'm using the following modules when loading up my theme:
*NetLoadModule jdesk-0.73
*NetLoadModule xpopup-1.1.7
*NetLoadModule xtray-0.9.9
*NetLoadModule xtaskbar-1.3
*NetLoadModule xlabel-3.4.1 load xlabel-3.4.1.dll

I know how to post an image inside a label, but is there a way to to post an image on the desktop outside of a label? How would you configure the dimensions of the image, and (x,y) coordinates outside of a label.

The reason I'm asking this is because I have a bar on the bottom that is stretched across the whole screen in one label. However, I want to be able to right click on a time label, but when I don't have a transparent image that covers the label, the right click only works on the time text. However, when the transpartent image is placed on that label, it conflicts with the bar that is visible that is stretched across the screen from the tray label.

Is there anyway to make the time label clickable without having to click exactly on the text without having a transparent image there?

Or can I just set up an image on the desktop that would override the labels.

Just use an image with an alpha transparency of 1. You'll never see it.

Btw, you can remove "load xlabel-3.4.1.dll"

why is the xlabel dll loaded there in the first place?

Kind of an old thread...

The main use for "load" is for module archives with multiple dll files, to tell NLM which to load.

Unless you meant something else?

Synaps3: NLM lets you specify which .dll to load, if there are multiple .dll's in the zip. Dont know why its used for xlabel though...
