does anyone able to change the default mouse buttons on RabidVWM? VWMMouseLeft\Right\Middle suppose to do it but it always stays the the left button is for dragging and the right button is for switching.

and another question, can i have a tooltip that show me the tasks on the VWM?

VWMMouse settings are in your \litestep\personal\personal.rc file. If you are trying to specify them in a theme it won't work until you comment/remove the ones from the personal.rc.

For tooltips, check the tips and tricks of the help file, maybe the variables section, and also Text Escapes in the xlabel helpfile.

Here, for kicks, try this out. Uses xlabel 3.6.2, rabidvwm 1.2.1i, and mzscript 1.0rc2
*label vtips
vtipsAutoHeightMode top
vtipsAutoWidthMode left
vtipsSolidColors FFFFFF 000000
vtipsSolidBevelSize 1
vtipsGhosted true
vtipsFontColor 000000
vtipsFontHeight 15
vtipsNoEscapeSequence true
vtipsNoTextSplit true
vtipsStartHidden true
vtipsAlwaysOnTop true

VWMOnHover !vwmtips
VWMOnUnhover !LabelHide vtips

*Script bang !vwmtips
*Script exec !ParseEvars !LabelSetText vtips '%[tasks('<br>')]%'
*Script exec !If ["%#%{xresolution}-%{mousex}%#" < "%#vtipsCurrentWidth%#"] [!varset xpos %#%{xresolution}-vtipsCurrentWidth%#][!varset xpos %{mousex}]
*Script exec !If ["%#%{yresolution}-%{mousey}%#" < "%#vtipsCurrentHeight%#"] [!varset ypos %#%{yresolution}-vtipsCurrentHeight%#][!varset ypos %{mousey}]
*Script exec !LabelMove vtips %{xpos} %{ypos}
*Script exec !LabelShow vtips
*Script ~bang

This shows all opened tasks. Not sure about showing for a specific desktop... I don't have time to look in to that at the moment.
