Hi guys,
I am using a slightly self-modified version of the INSIGHT theme with LS. I am completley new to LS and have been trying to make small changes to the theme so I can learn how the scripting works. I have looked on the net and it says that you can move the taskbar to the top instead of the bottom using

TaskbarEdge TOP

However, when adding this, the taskbar still remains at the bottom.

xtaskbaredge top
xtaskbarx 355
xtaskbary -38
xtaskbarheight 24


Is it a simple operation to move the taskbar to the top ? i understand how to move all the images/text that sit ON the taskbar to the top, but the actual bar will not seem to move.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All the best

xtaskbary -38

That controls the vertical position of the taskbar. Negative numbers are relative to the bottom of the screen. You simply want "0" to put it at the top.

xtaskbaredge top

That's not a valid xtaskbar setting. You will find the xtaskbar readme in \modules\docs.

In closing, I can post faster than Boreas.

Just set xtaskbary to 0; that's what determines the vertical position of the taskbar. TaskbarEdge was a setting for a different taskbar module. It shouldn't be in there at all if you're using xtaskbar.

Hi Xcal, thank you for replying. I actually did what u suggested before and unfortunatly all that happens, is that the taskbar stays where it is, but any window/app etc. sitting open in the taskbar is moved to the top of the screen. After reading the Xtaskbar docs I still do not understand. Even the manual says that changing the Y variable should move the whole bar.

thanks Boreas...as I mentioned, this just seems to move all open windows/apps sitting in the taskbar to the top, but leaves the actual taskbar at the bottom.

Perhaps the "taskbar" is transparent, and what's left at the bottom is a container of some sort (label, etc.) that was just for decorative purposes?

@ Boreas: Ahhh! ok thank you, that was exactly what it was! Thought the image was a part of the taskbar!!! Cheers mate.

All the best,

Cool - good luck tweaking. =)
