| Jafo mentions the fix for that in the comments on that theme.add this to your theme.rc |
If Jafo mentioned the fix for this in the comments for this theme. Then why did'nt he just fix it.
maybe im confused.
Please be more specific about where I should paste what you mentioned.
Does it matter where I paste it in the step.rc ?
Thatnks for helping PharOe

csurfside....in the description of that theme I mentioned it was my first release of an OTS2 version...and there could likely be bugs....
....and there were.
This is caused by my setup getting away with them because it is not exactly identical with others'.
Rather than upload a fix immediately, I've been 'tweaking' the whole thing as odd behaviour still occurred with some of the animations....and I wanted to get it all looking 'better'.
Anyway.....I 'should' have the revised animal up today....
The line to add into the theme.rc can go anywhere in the meantime....

I have looked but dont see where to configure the short cuts, nor have I ever edited a lite step theme. However, I do know where the files are.
Please tell me where and how to cofigure the short cuts please!

I have one more problem.
The lite step theme you did called Fetchi. I really like this theme. However it makes my windows not maximize fully and some times the bars on the left and the right dissappear.
Any chance I missed something or you my be updating it sometime.
I really want this one working good.

The shortcuts point to your standard 'evars' as you will have configured them in your 'evar.rc'.
They are listed as '$FileManager$', '$GFXEditor$', etc....so whether you use Photoshop or PSP the theme will work because you preset these variables.
If need be, if you want to 'hard-code' the proggies in the theme.rc.....look for the evar entry eg $FileManager$ and replace it with the full path to the proggy of your choice...."C:\Program Files\VCOM\Pdexplo.exe" will get you Powerdesk 6 for example. [assuming you have it]...
Nijikon Fetchi has a top bar, and animated shortcuts [layercuts] on either side so the max desktop area is pre-limited to keep them visible....a standard LS feature.
If you want the whole screen edit theme.rc.....by placing a ''[semicolon....the dot-comma that won't show here]" [without quotes] before each line of the relevant section.
thus...
[semicolon....the dot-comma that won't show here] SetDesktopArea
[semicolon....the dot-comma that won't show here] SDATop 30
[semicolon....the dot-comma that won't show here] SDALeft 30
[semicolon....the dot-comma that won't show here] SDARight -30
or...
SetDesktopArea
SDATop 0
SDALeft 0
SDARight 0
or...
[semicolon....the dot-comma that won't show here] SetDesktopArea
SDATop 30
SDALeft 30
SDARight -30
Pays with LiteSTEP [and any other shell] to do a lot of 'RTFM' to fully understand the how, what, and why of its/their configuration/s....

No...they have a closed state animation....if they disappear completely it'll be due to a module problem, ie....memory leak, etc.
The assumption is that you are reasonably up to date with the LS version.....you 'should' be using RC3....June 2004....

Please checkback here later to see if I have it working or need more help.
I really love the lite step themes you made.Probally more then anyother skinning I've ever seen.
So please be patient when I post a question and help me figure this thing out. Like you always do.
You have always been more then helpful in the past, even when I was christina!
Remember that!
Anyway, I will be back later. My whole day is going to be spent trying to get this Fetchi lite step theme to work properly.
After that I will bug you some more for configuring short cuts.

Jafo, I cant find a version of lite step to download.
Im going nuts here!
Reply #17 Monday, August 16, 2004 9:02 AM
Once you have an 'installed' LS shell....via the typical 'Installer' all you need to do id download the updated core files and copy them over [into] the existing Litestep directory.....though to do that, first you must exit Litestep as your shell....either by rebooting to Explorer...or by killing the litestep.exe pcocess in task manager...and copying them over and restarting the litestep.exe process....[I often do it the latter way]....just have your file manager open while you do it so you can copy/move files [naturally]...
I'll post a link to the RC3 June 2004 for you....

a must-go-to place for LSUsers....

That 'should' be the link to RC3....

I downloaded a version of lite step and it works good so far.
I also got your Fetchi theme stable.
Question, to change the short cuts, can I just go thru the evars. Or is there a better way. I saw the edit evars when I loaded the theme but now I cant find its file.
Am I on the right track.
Sry to bug you so much, I know you have better things to do probally. I just really want this theme bad... Im serious. I hav'nt wanted a theme to work so bad in the 4 years ive been hunting!

add this to your theme.rc
ConfigDir "$ThemeDir$config\"
That will fix your problem.
