Hello there,
So I got this idea into my head to make an odvious "widget" for poping
up a run prompt. I have it already shoved into my rc.lua, but I
figured I'd split it out for the good of all. Anyway, modularization
and scope is kind of still confusing me. Some of my kind Awesome dev
friends tried to help me in IRC previously, but I must still not be
getting something. Attached are some patches for what I'm trying to
accomplish. Could someone suggest why this doesn't work as I'd expect?
Patches are attached. One of them is just what I did to my rc.lua --
did I do something wrong there? The other is the actual obvious
patch-email.
Thanks guys!
