I'm using blue ice theme, i got used to glaze first though and i liked how it had the screen saver hotspot on the bottom right but blue ice doesn't have one. i miss it and i can't edit blue ice because i really don't know what i'm doing. could someone please tell me what to put and where to out it and etc so i can have a hot spot in the very top left of the window for blue ice? please?

1. download ckHotspots.dll and scrsaver.dll from shellfront.org or copy the modules from the glaze-dir.
2. put them into the modules-dir.
3. write this code into your step.rc:
LoadModule "$ModulesDir$scrsaver.dll"
LoadModule "$ModulesDir$ckHotspots.dll"

*ckHotspot 0 0 1 1 !Screensaver !None on

4. Save and recycle.

btw, this is so simple that you should have figured it out by yourself. especially cause you had glaze to learn from.

I've never heard anyone complain but does the hotspot for launching the screensaver work every time with the Glaze theme? I know it doesn't on my system. I'm not sure why.

it works fine on mine, the one made for blue ice works fine also.

maybe you should set a timer, cause you move your mouse a little after hitting the spot and it kills the screensaver.

I personally don't mind that it does that since sometimes I touch that spot when I don't mean to. Then again at other times it annoys me :) I'll take a look to see what options there are.
