I have noticed that Austerity uses taskbar3. Is there a way to use xtaskbar's features as well as taskbar 3 or do i need to recode the taskbar.rc for austerity to accomodate for the differences? If I need to recode it it would be nice if there was a xtaskbar copy of austerity's taskbar.rc.

It is possible that I am talking about something icnredibly stupid and I do not know what Im talking about. Help is appreciated.

Sepcifically I need to implement the Dropdelay fucntion in xtaskbar.. If i am talking nonsense it would be nice if someone can help me get that into the austerity theme ^_^;

You should remove taskbar3 completely if you are going to setup xtaskbar.

Austerity is a great default theme, but you may want to check out some other themes that already use xtaskbar.

Never mind. I sat on my computer for about an hour and coverted all the variables from taskbar 3 to xtaskbar. if anyone wants to use the austerity theme with xtaskbar here it is...

The thing you need to change is the image files. You just use a image editing software to combine all the left, middle and right images together for all 6 of them. If anyone sees somehting wrong leave a message. ^_^;

Oh and another thing... i dont know why but the
TaskBarWidth $ResolutionX-TaskBarX-SystrayWidth-TimeWidth$

code did not work so i just added the -91 pixels to accomodate for my resolution. dunno how that happened but im not changing my resolution so....

good one ;)
