I've been messing with a theme that has a horizontal taskbar. I've change it so that it is now Vertical, but, the windows in the taskbar are extremely narrow, and very long. They do not fill up the entire taskbar.

Here is the code for the taskbar:

xTaskbar
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if EnableTaskbar = true
xTaskbarX 0
xTaskbarY 0
xTaskbarWidth 100
xTaskbarHeight 1024


xTaskbarLines 10
xTaskbarLayout ".vertical"
xTaskbarButtonMaxWidth 100
xTaskbarButtonDirection .bottom

xTaskbarRightBorder 0

xTaskbarImage taskbar_background.png
xTaskbarActiveButtonImage taskbar_active.png
xTaskbarNormalButtonImage taskbar_normal.png
xTaskbarFlashingButtonImage taskbar_flashing.png
xTaskbarHoverButtonImage taskbar_hover.png

xTaskbarFlashingButtonImageLeftEdge 3
xTaskbarFlashingButtonImageRightEdge 3
xTaskbarFlashingButtonImageTopEdge 0
xTaskbarFlashingButtonImageBottomEdge 0

xTaskbarFont "Swis721 Cn BT D-Type"
xTaskbarFontHeight 10
xTaskbarFontColor 96979B
xTaskbarActiveFontColor 96979B
xTaskbarFontAlign center
xTaskbarFontLeftBorder 3
xTaskbarFontRightBorder 3
xTaskbarFontTopBorder 3
xTaskbarAlphaTransparency 200
xTaskbarShowIcon False
xTaskbarShowText
xTaskbarShowTooltip
xTaskbarShowHoverState

xTaskbarAlwaysOnTop False

xTaskbarAlphaFade
xTaskbarCustomAlphaFade 20 3
endif

wait.. so what is the result you want? As I understand the layout option, it's just which way the tasks get's added.. horizontal is added from top/bottom, wraped right left

Is the problem that you didn't change the 'shape' of the task-buttons? So you had wide taskbuttons on a horizontal taskbar (which is fine) and now you have wide taskbuttons on a vertical taskbar (which is not fine)?

Is that the issue?


I think that the xTaskbarLines entry isn't necessary when you've switched the layout to ".vertical" but I could be wrong.


Anyways, I'm not 100% certain what the problem is :\

How wide do you want the taskbar buttons to be? Actual width?

He's already solved the issue in a different forum...would be nice if he mentioned that here. :P
