I can't seem to see all my system tray icon in the Glaze them which is fairly new. I am new to Litestep, but I am loving it and I am still learning it :) I am just wondering how can I see all of them?? I can see more icons there everytime I click quit on Litestep. It is not a major problem or anything, but I like to see all my system tray icons, hehe. Any help would be good.

Thanks,
-rahul ;]

oh well I got this worked out, but I have another question. While I am playing my game like MOH:AA or BF1942, the top part of the theme shows up in the game, is there a way to disable that top bar?? It just keeps coming back to the desktop when I am in the game. The theme I am using is Glaze.

i've heard of that "onTop" problem, so I think the best and easyest way is to hide all.
Example: make a hotkey (perhaps Win+H)
than you can use a script:
*script bang !hideall
*script gotoif ("%{hidden}" = "on") 1
*script exec !varset hidden "on"
*script exec !systrayhide
*script exec !unloadmodule $dirmodulescommon$shortcut3.dll
*script exec !jDeskSetWorkArea "6,-6,6,-6"
*script gotoif ("%{tasks}" = "full") fullh
*script exec !main1labelhide
*script exec !amplabelhide
*script exec !commandhide
*script exit
*script label fullh
*script exec !main2labelhide
*script exit
*script label 1
*script exec !varset hidden "off"
*script exec !systrayshow
*script exec !jDeskResetWorkArea
*script exec !reloadmodule $dirmodulescommon$shortcut3.dll
*script gotoif ("%{tasks}" = "full") fulls
*script exec !main1labelshow
*script exec !amplabelshow
*script exec !commandshow
*script exec !detectwa
*script exit
*script label fulls
*script exec !shortcutgrouphide 1 2 3 4
*script exec !main2labelshow
*script exec !shortcutgroupshow 6
*script ~bang

you can use this script and enter your own

"I can't seem to see all my system tray icon in the Glaze theme..."

I do appologise for this glitch. If look at a normal screenshot of the Glaze theme you will see there is a label beside the systray with "GLAZE" on it. The width of this label is caluculated by subtracting x position of where the systray starts from the x position of where the label starts. As icons are added and removed from the systray the label is resized. But if the systray has so many icons that it starts before the label then a negative number results and screws things up. My attempts to detect for negative numbers didn't work for some reason. My only suggestion is to remove some icons from your system tray or remove some elements of the theme so it's not so wide. I'm working on a new version of the theme now so if I can I will fix this problem.

"...the top part of the theme shows up in the game..."

I created a bang to hide the interface for when you are using full screen apps such as games. You either press Win+Alt+T to toggle the interface or Shift+left-click on the desktop and select "Show/Hide Interface". This is documented in the readme file with the theme. You will also see that I have provided a feature to hide the interface automatically when a particular application starts.

Thank you very much for your help and by the way I love the theme, it is really sweet, keep up the good work :)

Dr. Worm, pretty slick. More themes need that kind of functionality built-in.

Since most people run games and screensavers I think it's a necessary for all themes. Though from what I understand with the new build of Indie step you won't need to hide the interface.

DrWorm, last I heard (granted, this was MONTHS ago), they were working on a fix for that, but they couldn't get it working correctly. If they did figure it out, that would be great. It's the main reason I stopped using LS at home. Gaming was just becoming too much of a chore, trying to be able to hide all the modules when needed(which I never actually did get working, but oh well).

Umm... the *auto-detection* of fullscreen apps was buggy so it was disabled, but hiding all modules works just fine. It's not an Indie LS build however but a new lsdev build called 0.24.7 beta. Get beta 3 and bind hotkeys to !HideModules and !ShowModules.
