Hello,

i want to make a toolbar like Yz's Toolbar with LiteStep. Unfortunaly i don't know, how to make this. I tried xLabel, but i want to make it dynamic, so litestep read shortcuts from one folder and display it in a box. so, how can i make this?

you need to use different modules for all the different tasks involved:

Task: "Scanning folder of shortcuts" Module: scandir

Task: "Creating icons for each shortcut" Module's: xLabel (icons) scripting module like lslua or mzscript (for dynamically creating the icons)

etc
etc

Just asking how to make it is not going to get you any help.

I have made a dock type component, its called Program Loader and its in Lock.Solid, but that doesnt scana folder to get the shortcuts ;)

Good luck

Ok, that was all i want to know ;) I can make the code by myself, but i didn't know the modules and which i should use.Now, i know them, thank you ;)

But why xPopUp? I knwo, that this can make a menu with the quicklaunch, but i don't want it in my menu, it should be in a litle Box ;)

xPopup can get the shortcuts in the folder, and list them. You can set it up to just do that...fractal's method up there requires more work. The quicklaunch mode is called that because it can resemble the Explorer quicklaunch--horizontally laid out icons in a popup. You can pin it and disable the caption to make it non-moveable, if you want.

Hourly, look at the new Obsidian theme.
I made a quicklaunch in that theme.
It will help you figure it out...

I look at the Obidian Theme, but, well, that a lot of code ;) I understand it a little, but how can i get the popup into a label? You seemd to did this, cause there is label called quick, which seems to be the qicklaunch label and i don't understand how the quicklaunch gets into this label. All i can do is open the quicklaunch popup..
