Hi Complete newbie here so my not use the correct terminology. So what I want to do is have an image/area(hotspot) that when clicked on will launch a bar(drawer) that will contain icons to open programs.I have found the Hotspot wizard but no option to open drawer only a grid stack.Is what I want to do possible.

Short answer : No. Longer answer : As Drawers and Shelves can function as containers for Docks and Grid Stacks, they cannot simultaneously function as Hotspot targets. At least, that's the logic that occurs to me. :)

Why not use a dock instead of a Drawer? You can already open docks with NextSTART hotspots.

So would this work. If I have an image 100 x 100 pixels in the top left hand corner as part of my wallpaper(desktop background) and I put a hotspot in the same area when I click on the image it will open a dock. I can then put my own icons on it. How would I apply my own image for the dock.
