i got a lil problem with xLabel, its lagging 3D applications.
i dont know if this is a know problem, or if it can be solved, but its really annoying that i have to close litestep.exe everytime i want to play a 3D game. i tryed around a lot and found out that xLabel is lagging it. well i installed the newest version (4.0.1) but its still laggin, can anyone help me?

Theme?

There's probably a setting telling a label to update itself a whole lot.

Use !hidemodules (and then !showmodules, or just !togglemodules) when you want to play the game.

the !hidemodules works fine, thanks! but there has to be another solution to this one. even vista with all its graphics doesnt make any 3D application lagg. well im using a self build theme and i cant find anything that would eat that much resources or which is updating a whole lot. well thanks for helping me soo far,

Don't set label to be ontop and it will probably fix itself. If that isn't it, change you update interval to something more reasonable.

well no matter where i set it, its lagging 3D apps, but the solution with !hidemodules works great.
the update intervall should be allright (1000ms), i guess that wont be it.
thanks for helping me!

it's a common x-modules internal problem:
SetWindowPos(TooltipHints, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOACTIVATE);

this line uses to make label tooltip always on top and somehow it brings the parent label on top of full screen applicaitons.
there is well known jugg's tooltip fix, but Andymon doesn't use it. Why?
