I'm trying to create a box with background color and 1 pixel border color. Within this box would be 4 (or more) buttons (I was thinking of using label) that perform specific !execute commands upon being clicked. However, I am having some troubles.

I am using label (so far) and cannot find how to set a bg color. I checked the documentation and it only supports bmp backgrounds. Further, I don't see that setting a border thickness > 0 does any good.

I've checked documentation (found nothing), loose-screws (is down), and tried searching this forum (not working). Should I just add another module and use lsbox? I want to use labels because I can "destroy" them via the !bang !MyLabelDestroy. Can you do that with an lsbox as well?


Thank you in advance.

I think you should check out xLabel instead. label is obsolete and xLabel will provide you with all the config options you could possibly need :)

OK, so I got xLabel and converted all of my Labels over. However, it still doesn't support a colored border or background, only background images. I looked into LSBox, but it's the same way. Is there some way to get a box with a border without using images?

Haha, good one. Try reading the docs a little bit more closely. If xlabel wouldn't support colored borders or backgrounds, how do you think I made this with xlabel? Hint: no images are used. At all.

Well, except for the wallpapers, I suppose.

I think West might also be an evil wizard and we should poke him with a pitchfork and/or burn him while we still can!

You guyz got it all wrong hes a troll...

Maybe I should change my nick to "Grendel".

But what would your mom think? Does she really want to be Grendel's mother?

The truth is: I don't know. The only docs I found were on the xDocs site (http://www.xdocs.ls-universe.info/pie.php?xLabel2). If you could direct me to the correct page there, or to another documentation source that has border and bg color settings included I would be able to find out. I've looked through the Default Configuration, Configuration, and Image Configuration pages. The Overlay Configuration page has some example code that has a "colors", but that's all I've found. Using this, I figured out how to make a background color. Is the only way to make a border to have a label-in-label?

\litestep\modules\docs

The most obvious solution. I suppose I should have said that I was only able to find xlabel by doing a netloadmodule. I don't have the docs that came with it. I checked there first.

Anyway, I found the module for download with the docs. Looking at the docs... "Oh! It's not in the xLabel documentation, it's in the xPaint documentation!"

That should help. Thanks.
