Instaled on a 1280x1024 desktop. Every thing seems to work fine.

it seems to be hiding the taskbar, but not disabling the 'keep on top' i had set. It wants to set itself above where the taskbar would be and when I moved it down, maximized windows are restricted in size (small gap left/top/right with a large gap below the window and above the bar.

went into builder and looked a resolution - when I changed it, everything disappeared.

found the browser since I had ODock running.

weird - ran it again - got the "appears not to have closed correctly" message - click new blank - got nothing (duh) - double clicked again, this time bar loaded at the bottom and the edge around a maximized window is even all around


wondering... with the helper object, would it be possible to have it differentiate between client and builder so that those links that won't work in client mode won't appear?

I like the look of the start, it's what I want in a blind.

Same here on 1024 ...I'll play with it more in the AM. But its looks good....

Steve you should disable the "Work screen Area" that run not only in your theme but in all after installed your. And sometimes after unload DX.

second thing i see the two element of your taskbar are not lock (we can drag them) wonder if it's intentional

If Not, this theme is great too

Thanks to all of you. First time I've tried to make a taskbar, or anything else, resolution independent. I'll try putting groups on their own bg's and child them to taskbar then make the taskbar 100% wide.

So... I should leave the workarea at zeros when creating a theme for distribution. Right?

not sure about that - themes like Tronnix have a defined work area

no you can make WorkArea. That was just on council. I stopped make them me cause of too many problems when switch between themes or play without DX.
