I am having trouble with minimizing and maximizing windows with litestep. Unlike explorer, clicking on a minimized window in the taskbar does not bring it up again. It's quite annoying. I have to minimize every window on the top in order to work on my desired window again. I am running the latest version of litestep. I have tried this with various themes and the problem persists. Is this a fundemental problem with litestep or a common bug in themes or is there somethin wrong with my settings?

what task-module is the theme using? (i.e. taskbar3, tasks)
it could be just a bug, but it also may be a feature of the theme. anyway what theme is it?

how can I check to see which task-module I'm using? and I'm talking about the excalibur II theme

you can check what modules are loaded from step.rc in the themedir or using lscp.

If you dont know how to see what mods your useing you have bigger problems than not being able to min/max windows.

the theme uses taskbar3 and desktop2 modules

Try getting the latest version Taskbar3.
