Recently I was trying to edit a module called x-label which displays system stats etc. Its already on my desktop, but i wanted it on there again with edited out parts making it shorter (kindof a scrolling info matrix type theme) i made a copy of the module text in the theme.rc file and it duplicated, however when i tried to shorten the number of things it displayed, it always stayed the same. any solutions? if it requires me to make a copy, rename and edit a new dll file then how do i edit it?
any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

If you want to modify the way the existing label looks you need to edit the original settings, not make a copy. If you want an additional (second) label, then you can copy the settings but you must change the label name (the first part of every setting), so that the module can distinguish between the two groups of settings. Then you can edit the second set. Note that if you don't change the positioning of the second label, it will appear either on top of or underneath the original one. If the settings are in a completely separate text file, you must also "include" the new text file, or else those settings will never be loaded. I'd suggest looking at how some other themes are constructed in order to see how this is done - then go ahead and make your changes.
