Ok, i'll keep the VisualStyle support!

I have found and fixed some minor issues with the painting of the Visual Style elements. It should now look better then before.
Therefore a last? Release Candidate before i release the final version.

You can download the RC1 here

Please try this version (overwrite BOTH versions LiteStepDir and ModuleDir with this version) and report all problems.

Hi,

this is an importent note about LiteSTEP.de!

As som of you have noticed we where offline for a long time. Now we are back online and so we are in a content creation process.
tilingual site
But the members of the translation team are all off 'cause of the long downtime.

So I'll be very pleast if you'll come back and some new useres may join us.

If you are not a german native it doesn't matter. LiteSTEP.de is ready to be a multilingual Site. So you could post articles and suggestions to us.

Have a nice day and take your time.

Best Regards Joachiim from LiteSTEP.de

It's time to release xPaintClass-1.0 Update 5 due to the remaining bugs!

Bugs:
1. Severe GDI Leak everytime a FontRotation or IconRotation was painted!!
2. ClearType FontSmoothing wasn't possible under Vista
3. MixIntensity caculation wasn't perfect (100% bug)

Now, the reason for this news:
Shall i keep the uxtheme (Visual Style) support for xPaintTexture in xPaintClass (you can test it in the available beta Look here)??

If during this week noone wants this feature (post your opinion), i will release xPaintClass-1.0 Update 5 next weekend WITHOUT that new feature!
That means only the above bugs will be fixed!

So, does somebody want this feature?

I have recovered my xTray-2.1 source from my main HDD, which failed a week ago.
But i don't remember what exactly was missing or was still not perfect in xTray-2.1.

Therefore i release a xTray-2.1 Beta, which has no new features, only fixes and internal optimizations.

Fixed:
xTrayOnAdd, xTrayOnRemove, xTrayOnLineAdd and xTrayOnLineRemove are now reliable.
The exported evars xTrayCurrentIconCount and xTrayCurrentLines get the NEW value, before firing the action.
Tooltips weren't configurable via !xTrayRefresh
Many internal code optimizations and tiny bugfixes.

You can simply replace your old version with this one and you shouldn't see a difference to the other xTray-2.x versions. (Well, maybe its faster.)

I won't code that much the next time so you have some time to try this version and report problems.
(If you have some (minor) feature requests post them here too.)

You can download xTray-2.1 Beta here

xTaskbar-2.2 is the next major release of xTaskbar and has some drastic improvements (mostly internal so you probably won't see a real difference).
I recommend that anyone who uses already a 2.x version of xTaskbar should update to this version.
Since the 2.x versions are all backwards compatible to the other 2.x versions, this means you only must change the NetLoadModule line in your theme.

Here are the added settings since v2.1.6:
xTaskbarVWMSpecifiedDesktopOnly INT
The Taskbar will only show the Tasks, which are on the specified VWM Desktop (0 based)
Requires a VWM module, which supports LM_GETDESKTOPOF!

xTaskbarHoverStateDisplay DISPLAYTYPE
Restricts the HoverState to a specific Display State (in normal TaskbarButtons and OverlayButtons).
If you need multiple HoverStates you have to use OverlayButtons.
HoverIcon and HoverFont settings use only the xTaskbarHoverStateDisplay.

xTaskbarButtonAdaptiveSize BOOL
IF you use a xTaskbarWrapCount and this settings is TRUE, the MaxButtonWidth is adapted to fill up the available taskbar space completly, when xTaskbarWrapCount button are visible.
(Basically its the same old style like in the former xTaskbar versions.)

This could be the only point, where your theme looks different then before! If your buttons should have a different size then normal and you don't like it...
-> xTaskbarButtonAdaptiveSize TRUE

You can download xTaskbar-2.2 here or via NetLoadModule.
