Startmenu Help

3723
mangosango says:

I'm trying to code a litestep theme and I can't get the startmenu (like the ones in SONA and AMANA) to work. It functions, but I can't get it to toggle with the start button.

*****
Update, after much experimentation, i ended up at the script.rc file.... I'm messing around with it to try and figure out what everything means, but I am at a loss...

Any help would be greatly appreciated =)

Thanks

right, but with the script.rc, I've been looking at the coding for SONA and AMANA, and I've gotten the idea that the

*Script Bang !StartMenuToggle

defines the command (!StartMenuToggle) that you wish to define, and that the

*Script Exec !VarsaveStartMenuOn

underneath it states that if the !StartMenuToggle is activated, that the variable StartMenuOn is activated. What I don't get, though, is what this stuff does:

*Script exec !If ["%{startMenuOn}" = "true"] [!LabelMoveBy startMenu 189 0 25 10] [!LabelMoveBy startMenu -189 0 25 10]

I thought it defined that if the variable StartMenuOn is activated, then the xLabel StartMenu should be moved from a certain location to another location. But when I try this in my theme, it doesn't seem to work... btw the scripts i'm learning from are the (you guessed it) SONA and AMANA themes, so much thanks to Naalo + Imrik for their submissions.

What that line does is check whether the startMenuOn variable is true or false, if true it moves it to the right, if false to the left.

@ naalo ah i see. thank you =)
@ fuzzace well the menu shows up, but i cant get it to hide when i click on it again. right now i'm using a second bang command to hide it with a right-click on the button
