Introduction II. Installation III. Information A} Commands B} Changes IV. Tips & Tricks V. Disclaimer ===================== == I. Introduction == ===================== =================================================== Welcome, and thank you for trying out this small efficient task manager for Win32 shells. Tasks runs under both LiteStep (natively) and DarkStep. Tasks displays by default, 32x32 tiles with 16x16 icons representing the currently running applications. Each tile has a popup system menu for the specific Application it represents, from which you can control the Application window. Furthermore, Tasks is completely customizable, supporting a wide range of functionality from a static block of tiles, to a popup menu interface, with hide-on-click and zOrder positioning options. But that is only a small portion of the numerous options to customize your Tasks tiles. ====================== == II. Installation == ====================== =================================================== Extract "tasks.dll" to your shell directory (c:\litestep\). Open up your step.rc (your shell configuration file) and find the section where all of your "LoadModule" lines are located. Now, add a new line that looks like this: LoadModule "c:\litestep\tasks.dll" Of course, adjust the path as necessary. Save your step.rc and issue the shell's Recycle command (!Recycle). ====================== == III. Information == ====================== =================================================== The following Commands section is broken up into four parts. You have the "MAIN", "NORMAL", "MINIMIZED", and "SELECTED" sections. Basically, Tasks has three different "states" it can be in. First you have your default "normal" state where the application is neither minimized nor active. Secondly, there is the "minimized" state where the application is minimized. Finally, there is the "selected" or "active" state where the application is the one with the focus. By default the second and third states are disabled (minimized, selected), defaulting all tiles to have the "normal" look. You can activate the "minimized" and "selected" states by setting the first command under those two sections shown below. The three "state" sections each have an identical set of commands to the other. The "minimized" and "selected" variants of each similar command, to the three states, values default to the "normal" state value, unless explicitly overridden, with the exception of boolean values. Besides the three different "state" sections, you have a "main" section of commands, who's values are not effected by the current state of the application. Plus several action (!bang) commands and filters. =============== = A} Commands = =============== The default value for each command is shown following the command, just as you would set a new value in the shell configuration file. =================================================== =========== (Begin) MAIN Command Section ========== =================================================== TasksX 0 - Sets the horizontal (x coordinate) value to start placing Tasks tiles, relevant to the direction in which they are arranged. - accepts any negative or positive integer. - value is relative to the "DockWindow" - defaults to: 0 TasksY 0 - Sets the vertical (y coordinate) value to start placing Tasks tiles, relevant to the direction in which they are arranged. - accepts any negative or positive integer. - value is relative to the "DockWindow" - defaults to: 0 TasksHeight 32 - Sets the vertical size (height) value. - accepts any positive integer greater then 1. - defaults to: 32 TasksWidth 32 - Sets the horizontal size (width) value. - accepts any positive integer greater then 1. - defaults to: 32 TasksSpacingX 0 - Sets the horizontal seperation (spacing) between tiles. - accepts any positive or negative integer. - defaults to: 0 TasksSpacingY 0 - Sets the vertical seperation (spacing) between tiles. - accepts any positive or negative integer. - defaults to: 0 TasksDirection "right" - Sets the directional postion new tiles are added relevant to the values given in [TasksX] and [TasksY]. - accepts one of the following: "up", "down", "left", "right". - when set to "up" or "left". If you set [TasksY] or [TasksX] respectively to zero 0, the zero acts like a negative zero. - defaults to: "right" TasksWrapDirection "down" - Sets the directional postion tiles are wrapped to relevant to the values given in [TasksX] and [TasksY] when the [TasksWrapCount] limit has been reached. - accepts one of the following: + Either "up" or "down" if [TasksDirection] is set to "left" or "right". + Either "left" or "right" if [TasksDirection] is set to "up", or "down". - when set to "up" or "left". If you set [TasksY] or [TasksX] respectively to zero 0, the zero acts like a negative zero. - defaults to: "down" TasksWrapCount 0 - Sets the maximum number of tiles that can be displayed in one direction, before wrapping. - accepts any positive integer.

So, when you specify -2 for x and -2 for y, the item will be centered in the tile. If you specify -3 for x and -1 for y, then the item will be placed in the top right corner of the tile. x, y | x, y | x, y ==================== -1,-1 |-2,-1 |-3,-1 -------------------- -1,-2 |-2,-2 |-3,-2 -------------------- -1,-3 |-2,-3 |-3,-3 If that still seems confusing, perhaps a little description will help: (for x: -1 = left etc...) x|left, center, right x| -1 -2 -3 y| top, middle, bottom y| -1 -2 -3 =================================================== = B} Changes = ============== - 0.84 - -------- !

Fixed GDI resource leak in Paint handler. ! Fixed crash bug when using TasksAutoArrange. ^ For devs, I changed several project settings, but mainly just link/include paths. ^ To help fix some transparency issues I added a command "TasksTestTransFix". Use it and let me know if you still get transparency issues. - 0.82 - -------- + Added true transparency. Use the boolean TasksEnableTrueTransparency to enable. ! Fixed TasksHideMinAppBar... again! Third time is a charm, hopefully. ! Fixed Tooltips not updating. ! Fixed several movement/ update problems. !

Making a much smaller memory usage. * Changed !TasksGather so now it resets tile positions back to their default setup ! Fixed ScreenSaver from showing in task list. ! Fixed MDI bugs ! Fixed Focus bug ! Fixed misc task list issues ! Fixed case sensitivity in commands ! Fixed minappbars from not being hidden. ! Fixed TasksOnlyMinimized from showing a tile even after the application wasn't min. ! Fixed system popup menus from refreshing. ! Fixed tiles from being destroyed from alt+f4 ! Fixed movement bugs. ! Fixed serveral GDI resource leaks. thanks dde And a lot more... but I forget :/ - old - ------- Will move the old version changes over when I have the time. ===================== = IV. Tips & Tricks = ===================== =================================================== Use only the following commands for a quick and easy setup to get a Task List popup menu. TasksWidth 150 TasksHeight 20 TasksUseWindowsSettings TasksDirection "down" TasksNoMove TasksHideOnClick TasksStartHidden TasksAlwaysOnTop Then using a desktop module, like jDesk or the DarkStep desktop.dll, bind the following command to the mouse down action: !TasksHide And to the mouse up action bind the following: !TasksMove !TasksShow Now, whenever you click on the Desktop up will pop a fast clean and convenient menu containing all of the running applications. --------------------------------------------------- If you are using the "TasksUseWindowsSettings" boolean, you can still use the boolean: "TasksHighlightSelected" and the active task tile will be automatically updated with your default windows "foreground" color. --------------------------------------------------- Using the new "TasksDockWindow" feature: Whatever window you want Tasks to dock into -MUST- be loaded, before Tasks.dll is loaded!!! Docking the Task tiles into a shortcut is slighty tricky right now. The following should be a general guideline in getting it to work. ... LoadModule systray.dll LoadModule tasks.dll ... ; the shortcut you want to have tasks put into MUST ; be the FIRST one listed!! ; the shortcut MUST also be set to be ON TOP!! *shortcut "TaskTray" ..... *shortcut "all other shortcuts listed now" .... TasksDockWindow "ShortcutClass;LSShortCut" ... --------------------------------------------------- To make Tasks to be ON TOP, either do NOT set "TasksDockWindow" or set it like so: TasksDockWindow "" --------------------------------------------------- Will add in more tips & tricks when I have time. --------------------------------------------------- =Credits/Thanks:= ================= -[rdj] for providing the original tasks.dll source and for a great concept to work off of! -The great coders who've worked with me on this. limpid, killarny, maduin, nimue, fahim, others. -Re5ources popup source code. -dde for some GDI code, fixing resource leaks. -Gustav Munkby for true transparency code! -Those who email with suggestions/bug reports/etc. ================= = V.
