ok one of the themes that actually shows up in the lsts, still doesnt work despite the successful .rc change (thank you again) its called recoil, same problem, no bar, no right click.

and when i DL themes and unzip them to the themes folder the dont register in the lsts window. help?

Sounds like the themes you have downloaded are missing the .thm file. I believe that would make them non-OTS compliant.

You should still be able to change to those themes using LSCP I believe.

i see im very new, as deuce all ready knows. thank sir worm

ok i tryed it and it didnt work. bu thank you, and if i missed something, let me know i just opened lscp andclick theme swticher, and still now dice.

Hmmm... did you extract each theme into it's own folder under the themes folder? That might seem like a stupid question but I assumed as long as a theme was in it's own folder it should appear in the LSCP. I don't know a lot about the workings of theme switchers.

hmm, ill check ty again

hmm, I've never seen a theme not show up in lscp. you're sure you unzipped it to the correct folder? also, you DID have winzip unzip everything using the supplied folder structure? if not, that would be the problem.

what do you mean? i unzipped it into the folder i made named after the theme. it shows up in lscp now, but i dont get the theme, it has the same erroe as before (when the "step.rc =stdcep.rc") but i renamed it to step.rc.

"i unzipped it into the folder i made named after the theme"

Hmm... You should only need to unzip the files into the "Themes" directory. If it's an OTS theme it should create it's own folder automatically. This means your directory structure should be something like this...

...\litestep\themes\

...\litestep\themes\simplicity\
...\litestep\themes\simplicity\step.rc
...\litestep\themes\simplicity\config\
...\litestep\themes\simplicity\images\
...\litestep\themes\simplicity\misc\
...\litestep\themes\simplicity\modules\

...\litestep\themes\glaze\
...\litestep\themes\glaze\step.rc
...\litestep\themes\glaze\config\
...\litestep\themes\glaze\images\
...\litestep\themes\glaze\misc\
...\litestep\themes\glaze\modules\

It sounds like you might have extracted the theme so it looks like this...

...\litestep\themes\glaze\
...\litestep\themes\glaze\glaze\
...\litestep\themes\glaze\glaze\step.rc
...\litestep\themes\glaze\glaze\config\
...\litestep\themes\glaze\glaze\images\
...\litestep\themes\glaze\glaze\misc\
...\litestep\themes\glaze\glaze\modules\

Hope that makes it clearer.

i see, well, is there anyway to salvage the theme other people used it and said it was cool, so what did i do wrong?

How should we know? Did you extract the files correctly or not?

lol@doc

i extracted it the same way i did with the themes that do work...i used winzip and extracted to litestep/themes

different themes are packaged differently. you need to pay attention to the "extract to" column when extracting LS themes because you may have put the theme in $LiteStepDir$\themes\themename\litestep\themes\themename and not known it.

hmmm, ok then thank you ill try that out

lol
