Title: lswitcher
Post by: Mike La Martina on June 03, 2017, 05:38:36 pm
I am attempting to install all my eCS applications on my AN 5.0 partition, and I am having an issue with lswitcher widget add-on to Xcenter.  The lswitcher taskbar runs separately, but when I try to add the widget to Xcenter, lswitcher does not appear as an option. 
I have added lswidget.dll, lswresen.dll and lswitch.hlp to sys\apps\xwps\xcenter\plugins and lswhook.dll to sys\dll.
Has anyone else seen this issue?

LSwitcher seems to be the cause of screen corruption, and hangs, on my systems. I tried both the older 2.70 version, and the 2.81 version. No problem installing either one though. I have seen the same problem with the older XCenter, in eCS 2.2b2, but it didn't happen very often. In ArcaOS, it happens far too often, so I quit using it.

Its interesting that you were able to install it.   Was that as a widget or its own taskbar?
As a separate taskbar I have seen no corruption on my screen.  I am not sure which version of lswitcher I am using.  But I am using Panorama.

I am using Panorama, and the widget. I have used the widget for some years, and I was having the corruption problem with eCS 2.2b2, but not often. Install has never been a problem.
