Right- and/or doubleclick (for example) !PopupPrograms folder entries (or anywhere where they point to a browseable location?) and open them in file browser.

If multiple locations, show up a list of them for the user to choose from.

Define a custom configuration per level, ie. first level popup has big icons, second level has none.

Icon at the left is the icon set by application. At the right is the same icon set by nTask.
At the same time, tasks-0.96.1 render icons correctly, when set to defer the rendering to the system. (TasksUseSystemHook On).

In certain cases, it is required to change current window state without knowing or caring for its current state.

Such as showing or hiding a group of shortcuts you use sporadically.

The !nToggle <window> command would be much appreciated.

Have nIcon layouts be configurable, to be able to show icons and text side by side (tried using IconX and TextOffset, as in nPopup, but didn't work).

Steps to reproduce:
nPopupColor #0000
nPopupItemColor transparent
nPopupItemFontColor #000

Expected:
black text over a transparent backgrond. nPopupItemFontColor #fff works.

Have a setting to specify single-click navigation.

There should be a setting to allow you to click through pixels where the alpha value is < some threshold.

With bottom-to-top or right-to-left layout order, when the layout is resized to accomodate a new element or reclaim unused space, all existing elements are jumped to top(left) briefly, then back in place when a new element finally added or removed.

Can be replicated with the following nTray settings:

TrayIconSize 16
TraySpacing 2
*nTray Systray
Systray
{
  X 0
  Y -36
  Width $TrayIconSize$
  Height $TrayIconSize$
  IconSize $TrayIconSize$
  Start BottomLeft
  PrimaryDirection Vertical
  OverflowAction SizeUp
}

Just start or close task monitor, which will add/remove an icon in the tray.

Hotstrings are similart to hotkeys except that they are typically composed of more than one character (that is, a string).

I'm using the so-called "Follow mouse" mode, where applications are activated (receive focus) as the mouse cursor passing over them.
It's nice, when you can reach application with mouse, however, sometimes I find myself in need to use taskbar. But when I click a button on nTask, window is activated, while cursor stays on the bar, and when I try to move it to a newly activated window, sometimes it fall behind other vindows.
I did not find the pattern in that "fall through cracks" behavior, but I think it can be amended, if cursor will move to the activated window upon activation. (Alt+Tab already do that, when "follow mouse" is active.)

I'm very much missing "pressed" state for labels.
The prefix would be Press* to match existing Hover*.

This is a new issue introduced in 0.7

States should have a text outline and/or shadow brush.

Using nKey-0.7 x64 I get a warning for every line in vk104.txt

The file and format hasn't been changed and works with anykey-1.0 and nKey-0.6

(State)FontStroke accept all parameters you expect (Color/alpha, width) but not positioning.
Since it's a relative positioning, makes sense for it to support Offset? attributes.

Make use of the Keyboards volume buttons.
They will work using tVolEzy module
and then do: *Hotkey .none 0xAD !tVolEzyToggleMute together with jkey (never tried it with nkey).

but tVolEzy is too buggy for me and i get LS crashes and Audio Service crashes.
This will not work for me.

My guess would be that WM_TIMER is never sent. Hard to replicate.

It would be nice to have a JavaScript console to help debugging scripts, in addition to !nExecScript and !nAlertScript

In multimonitor setup, when application is located on monitor other, than nTask itself, the application windows sporadically disappear from taskbar, and only reappear, when become active.
Very often observed with VirtualBox secondary screens, f.e., but even Opera may vanish from taskbar from time to time.

Including nDesk into loaded modules, the Windows version painted in the bottom-right corner of default desktop disappear.
Reloading LS will briefly flash the version text, then it disappear again.

Would be nice to be able to define which application states should be shown in a taskbar; supported values: normal, minimized, active, flashing, all, or a combination of 2 or more, defaulting to "all".

is this posssible?, as i still want my messages from apps even if tray is hidden

LS Build: 2013-08-07
32 bit Litestep, Windows 8.1 RTM 64 bit OS.

All nModules are at version 0.6

Expected output: A basic theme show up
Errors:

---------------------------
secondary 200 0 0 0
Is not a valid workarea declaration!
---------------------------

And

---------------------------
tertiary 0 0 200 0
Is not a valid workarea declaration!
---------------------------

After that, Litestep crashed.

It'd be useful to be able to show and hide the task switcher with a bang.

Using nModules 0.7

Add support for using milliseconds/easing arguments in !nShow, !nHide

The addition of input fields would be useful for running commands, or creating forms (saving short notes, nIcon folder navigation, etc). Support for datalist would be nice too (autocomplete of preconfigured values).

Steps to reproduce:
*nLabel BackShield
BackShieldX 0
BackShieldY 0
BackShieldWidth $ResolutionX$
BackShieldHeight $ResolutionY$
nPopupParent BackShield

Result:
nPopup subfolder items can't be clicked, nLabel flickrs when subfolders expand.

nCore just crash outright.
nTray can be easily crashed by switch task managed from user to admin mode.
The list goes on.

Comment by erik
Threaded mode is actually deprecated in LiteStep. It really isn't supported by the nModules. They do their own threading where it is useful.

AutoSize would make the taskbarwidth be always the edgesizes plus button width * number of tasks.

nPopup 0.7
Under Windows 10 x64, some ContentPopup sources don't work. (ex: !PopupAdminTools)

Also, popups that omit the title don't get loaded.
*Popup !New !Popup ;DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE
was formerly valid, but now must be
*Popup "title" !New !Popup ;DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE
Request would be to respect old style or add option to hide titles.

Mirror driver is a screen capture driver used in software such as teamviewer or radmin to transmit desktop image to the remote client under Windows Vista and above.
When it start, the nModules alpha channels all go black holes. Even if they start when the driver is already loaded (i.e. it was preloaded at boot time.)

Add Mouse Events support to nKey: VK_LBUTTON, VK_RBUTTON, VK_MBUTTON, VK_XBUTTON1, VK_XBUTTON2, VK_WHEEL_UP, VK_WHEEL_DOWN, VK_WHEEL_LEFT, VK_WHEEL_RIGHT.

Would be nice to be able to navigate folders inside nIcon, and have bangs for back, next, up, etc.

Example code:

*nLabel Clock

Clock
{
  AlwaysOnTop True
  X 50
  Y 50
  Width 150
  Height 30

  Font
  {
    Size 14
    Color #c1c1c1
  }

  Text
  {
    - "[Time('%c')]"
    Align center
    VerticalAlign Middle
  }
}

The output is "mm/dd/yy HH:mm:ss" regardless of locale.
Just for tests, I set time to "hh:mm:ss tt" but the label still show 24-h format.

Create a module that will act like display fusion.
http://www.displayfusion.com/Features/

Functions:
Set different wallpapers on different monitors.
Automatic wallpaper rotation based on a timer or other trigger(the user).

Feature not in display fusion:
*When the user has more than 1 monitor, for this example say 2 monitors. When a random wallpaper is chosen to be displayed is also found to have an aspect ratio and sufficient resolution to fit 2 screens. Then instead of drawing it on one monitor, have it be drawn across the 2 monitors as a duel screen wallpaper.

DrawableWindow needs to have a general way of supporting Drag & Drop, so that modules such as nIcon can support it.

http://www.rootdir.org/.offload/OverlayTransBug.zip

There's example code and a number of images.
PNG only show top layer, when overlaid.
BMP, nLabel do not render it at all. Even though its a regular 24 bit BMP, no ARGB or XRGB mind blows.

nTaskSwitch should switch based on the selected or clicked item, instead of hovered as in 0.7.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run x86 Litestep and n-modules on Windows 7 x86_64
2. Set up an nTaskbar
3. Run a full screen application and alt-tab out.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output is standard desktop should show up.

Actual output is everything sans nTaskbar.
Sometimes the taskbar will come back with a mouseover, and sometimes a Litestep recycle is required.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

nTaskbar 0.6 x86 (32 bit) and Windows 7 Ultimate x86_64 (64bit)

Please provide any additional information below.

Specific application, World of Warcraft.
Don't run much other than games in full screen. Web browsers, and flash players do not seem to cause the issue either.

In order to help themers optimize their themes, it would be nice to provide a visual representation of what operations take time.

I was thinking a hierarchical representation, along the lines of

nTray:
=================== InitModule (x ms) =================================
    ======= Create Tray1 (y ms) ======= ===Create Tray2 (z ms)====
         aaaa  bbbb  cccc
=== ExecuteBang !AddTray abc ===
  ====== Create Tray abc =======
     aa       bb     cc

I'd also have a level, nCorePerfTraceLevel (or something), to toggle the granularity of this. Logging too much would obviously hurt performance, so this should be off by default.

GET_KEYSTATE_WPARAM macro does not return the state for Alt and some other modifier keys.
Should prbably use GetKeyState() directly.

nTray should be able to automatically grow/shrink with its contents.

Using nKey and then try to use "nKeyLeftWindows !Popup" wont work.

The current behavior:
Pressing Alt+Tab while continuing to hold Alt and releasing/pressing Tab will cycle through the windows. Releasing Alt will switch to the selected window, but this is overridden by the cursor. If the cursor is over one of the window previews then when Alt is released the selected window will not gain focus, but instead the window that was hovered by the cursor will gain focus.

A setting to change whether or not the cursor would override the selection through Alt+Tab'ing would be great.
