Nice, clean and a little BeOS-like... sweet.

Just out of curiosity though, what's that wide transparent border around the tray/vwm thingy for?

Thank you, the floating option works great!

"death ray enabled" haha

Sweet... moveable addition is great.

@West: Its for the autohide feature. If autohide=true, when the mouse leaves that transparent square the whole thing will hide, and also save the position (If moveable).
Otherwise autohide would be when the mouse left the MainBox label (the main one everything is hooked to) and I have a sloppy mouse, so I think its more usable with a wide area to be sloppy in... Understand?

@Netfun81 ;)

@xcal: I will add the sharks with lasers on their heads if you want?

Also I am going to try out an idea I have had.
I think it will work best with LaserDesk,

The idea:
You know how with explorer.exe you can "drag" the taskbar to different sides of the screen (even the top), well I think I have figured out a way to make Litestep do this...

If a label is dragged, it will perform the OnMove command (If FireOnMoveDuringMove is set)
With this event and Lua I should be able to make the label "Stretch" to $ResolutionX$ when "docked" to the bottom or top, and $resolutionY$ for either side.

And still have "Floating" functionality (drag it away from the edge)

:D

Sounds like fun!!!

That's a cool idea, actually. I had been toying with it a while back doing OnMove, $currentX/Y$, and a !bang according to where it's released. I'd like to see you make it happen. :D

Ive got it working really great, but only up the top so far. Snap Docking (Thats what I have called it) is the new Docking :D

Its so neat, it even changes the desktop space (jdesk) according to the position and height of the "bar"

ooooooooo....
But I am struggling with some stuff.
Doing a Vertical bar is going to be a major pain in the ass, have to rewrite most of my script....

Really this would rule with logic.dream... but that theme is a bit scarry to add stuff to (Ahhhh I have to update heaps of stuff!)

But man, its looking to be a cute we piece of functionality this LaserDesk :D

Does anyone want a copy?
Its still pre alpha atm, but if you want to see how fucking nicely it does it, give me a bell ;)

UPDATE:

I have LaserVision SnapDocking to all sides transparently.
Now I need to figure out where to put the VWM...
