[quote="dpcdpc11"]agree with you tabaz... systembarex is the best and most complex bb bar there is but it lacks some features like a good icon scaling, movable task and others...

Blade did give the source to someone at one time. I believe qwilk has it. Doubt he'd ever release it though.

The key to using wxdevC++ is to use a custom makefile - usually called makefile-gcc. The makefile automatically generated by DevC++ (all versions) for MingW will not compile with bb4win code (& never has).

well, i have messed around with bblean source code (old version) and this one here yesterday but couldn't get it to compile with latest wxDev-C++. If someone gets me the latest bbClean source (noccys svn seems to be down) i will give it another try if the orig. devs (dont have time / passed out / insert-stuff-here).
(iam familiar with coding but am not a c++ guy).

iam having the same problem with 32pixel icons: seems like the source of those are 16px only scaled up to 32px (unlike with bbcleans bbleanBar)
There is another thing which would make this one almost perfect: multiline tray-icons like in boxbar (especially in conjunction with 32px tasks and 16px tray icons)

is there a way to make the icons at 32 px in the tasks field look as clear as they are at 16 px??

i would like to imitate the windows 7 look with those big icons and if i resize the tasks icons to something bigger than 16 px they get all pixelized and stuff and look just awful!

[quote="Guest"]...Is there anyway to set a generic icon for these to use in the bar?[/quote]There is code to pick up a default icon - which works reliably in bbIconBox - but something slips through. Perhaps the overall code load is too intensive. :(

Great updates! I typically use icons only for taskbar tabs, but this means it can be hard to see tabs for windows that have no icon. Is there anyway to set a generic icon for these to use in the bar?

i have a problem with icons in bbSystemBar 1.25.4. I put the icon size at 32 pixels and appears pixelated. I cant find a way to make icons biger and make them looks good. I normaly use bbleanbar from bbclean and i do the same things and icons are right. I use bblcean.

[quote="Guest"]is that a plugin?

when i try adding it it says its not compatible with my windows version or this blackbox version.

bbSystemBar [b]IS[/b] a plugin, but will not load unless bbUtils (see above) is already loaded. Both items are linked to in the download post.

The buttons take their styling from Toolbar Button in the current style. Even if ToolbarButton is parentrelatve, ToolbarButton uses toolbar.button.piccolor.

I have Systembar and SystembarEx side by side here... how can I make them look more alike? Specifically, how can I change the looks of the workspace button and of the clock for Systembar? I didn't see any options for that in the RC or in the help file. It would also be cool if there was a way to colour the arrows of the left/right buttons.

I switched on arrow bullets but that setting doesn't seem to have an effect on the right workspace button. On the plus side, the left one now looks like a "minus" and the right one is a big plus.

Initially, placement wasn't working - when I expanded the width of the bar from 720 to 900, it all went to the right side. I had to manually drag the bar to the center, but when I did that it seemed to snap to the center.
Your new 0 - 8 system for adjusting alpha etc. is a bit unusual.
