I am drawing a row of icons as a sort of a quicklaunch. Below is the .rc file for the launchbar. I am only showing the first 3 entires, but currently it is replicated 12 times. I am wondering if there is a way to simplify the replication?

Cerbie would tell you to use lua.

You can probably put the OnEnter/Leave in the group, using !LabelRepositionBy instead of !LabelReposition, since it looks like they're all doing the same thing. Something like...

Perfect LabelRepositionBy worked just fine...I was thinking of that bang, but I didn't know the %[LabelName]% option.

Just a minor note, LabelRepositionBy uses relative cx cy values, so
-4 -4 8 8 makes it grow from 64 to 72

Nah, I'd recommend Lua for creating them in the first place ;). With so many static settings, xcal's way is far better.

As I develop this theme, eventually I think they will become vars with drag and drop support, but I'm not sure on that yet.

It's fun developing this theme for me, but it doesn't pay the bills :(
