Moreso, even. :)
it seems that most of the geometry info in the menuitems is also in pixmaps.list. the only info missing from pixmaps.list i can see is the escape codes and the lack of the '+50+50' at the end of the scaled pix. also the @ in the pixmaps.list entry is a ; in the menuitem (looking at the code, i'm not sure i understand why you use both methods as they both do the same thing). perhaps the simplest way is to build the menus based on that file, not the directories. anything that ends with ':tile' goes into the tiled submenu, the rest go into the scaled submenu and use the filenames as the menuitem text (this means no more names like '22.jpg', for example). -- trey ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
