Start from scratch and create your theme bit by bit. You seem to have coded your whole theme before you've tested anything. All you need for a working theme is to include a desktop and popup module. Start with this code then slowly build your theme up.

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; LiteStep environment config
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ThemeName "This is a Theme"
ThemeAuthor "Your Name"

PersonalDir "$LiteStepDir$personal"
ThemeDir "$LiteStepDir$themes\ThemeName"
ConfigDir "$ThemeDir$config"
ModulesDir "$ThemeDir$modules"
ShortcutsDir "$LiteStepDir$shortcuts"
LSImageFolder "$ThemeDir$images"
WallpaperDir "$ThemeDir$wallpaper"

include "$PersonalDir$personal.rc"


;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; loadmodule config
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LoadModule "$litestepdir$desktop2.dll"
LoadModule "$litestepdir$popup2.dll"


Even though nothing is configured this is a complete and working theme.

Make sure you frequently test changes you make before progressing too far.
