show desktop fonction in the popup... Thread last updated on 2007-02-05 12:43:59

Hi everybody,

I am using the deviantART-min 0.4 found here:

http://www.litestep.net/index.php?section=2&action=details&id=1286

this theme uses the xpopup 2 module. I wanted to add a show desktop fonction in the main popup.
Can somebody please tell me what line/command I need to add and where I need to add it?

Thx in advance

\Litestep\personal\popup.rc

Scroll down to line 86 where you'll see...

;*Popup "manage windows" Folder
; *Popup "tile horizontal" !TileWindowsH
; *Popup "tile vertical" !TileWindowsV
; *Popup "cascade" !CascadeWindows
; *Popup "minimize all" !MinimizeWindows
; *Popup "restore all" !RestoreWindows
;*Popup ~Folder

Uncomment those. Or, make your own !MinimizeWindows entry.

Thx a lot, it worked perfectly.

Now I don't want to push it but is there a module that acutually plays the role of the "show desktop" button that is usually in the quick lunch?

You have an odd diet. ;)

The showdesk module is probably the one you're looking for, though.

uhmmm...why not just link some random label/shortcut to a script that toggles between !MinimizeWindows and !RestoreWindows?

Wow, I never said I was intelligent lol :S
I don't really know how to program litestep (actually I don't really know how to program anything, I just know some "notions")
In other words, what do you mean please?

Edit: btw I tried showdesk 0.1 and read the ReadMe file, and (you can call me an idiot if you want) what I did is copy the .dll file in the module foler and copy the command *Popup "ShowDesk" !ShowDesk in the popup.rc file (in the readme file it says *quote* "Put a command in your popus or whatever" ...) and then when I click on ShowDesk in my popup nothing happens...
Can somebody "enlighten" me plz?
Plus when I wanted a Show Desktop module I meant a new movable item on the desktop that "shows the desktop"...I wonder if that exists...

Anything can exist if you put it there.

Showdesk.dll differs from the minimize/restore windows commands in that it only modifies windows on the currently active desktop. If you minimize and then restore, everything on all desktops gets restored to the currently active desktop, at least with my VWM settings, and that's a major PITA.

Can someone plz explain me how to install the showdesk module plz because apparentely what I did didn't work...

Posted by member 5575 on 2007-02-05 12:43:58 link

The same way that all your other modules are installed and/or loaded?

*netloadmodule showdesk

or something similar. (version number may be required)
