Engage has huge black box[SOLVED]

when i load engage in E17 (by typing "engage" ["enlightenment_remote -module-load engage" doesnt work any reason why?])
it will load but a huge black box will surround it that is about 15 % of the overall screen height and 100% of its width.

and i get this message from a terminal

When editing to put "solved" in the subject, could you next time also include your solution or where you found it?

HAH!!

SOLVED:

when You install engage it is just present in the modules menu - when You start it from there, engage starts correctly!! otherwise its black...

(I'm talking about E17 of course)

It is not a problem - it's a feature:

the small icon shows already opened process while big one allows You to start other process.

sweet, thanks... im still trying to understand this thing.

i've got thunderbird and firefox launcher icons down there, but when i open one of them another icon shows up, like to show that it is open... but when i click the new one, it functions just like the other launcher... whats the point?

Engage is a launcher (by clicking) but if you scroll your mouse wheel over an icon it will go through all open instances of the app.

but i dont understand this:

i've got a firefox launcher icon, but when i click it and launch firefox, ANOTHER normal-sized firefox icon shows up in the engage bar. only one of them has the smaller icon above it to indicate a running instance. is this normal?

im not sure who you were talking to, but look at this SS. notice there are 2 firefox icons and 2 thunderbird icons (the blue ones). the first of each was there to begin with because i put them there for a launcher. but then an extra one of each showed up once i actually launched the apps. it seems like the extra ones shouldnt be there.

Thats probably a bug... but I didn't see it before cause I'm using engage only as a status bar... I'm launching all apps from menu or from ibar.
