I am using the theme nanostep and whenever i have a window fullsized my systeminfo time and system tray as well as the display for my vwm become clear and you can see the window that is open instead of those things. I have no idea what to do so please help if you do.
do you mean that maximized windows overlap your time/systray/sysinfo?
ok, then THAT means that the desktop size is probably set too large. just go into your step.rc and change it. depending on which desktop module your theme uses, it could be one line, with 4 different sets of numbers, or 4 lines with one set of numbers per line.
Alternatively you could set these elements to be always on top as they look like they will fit nicely into the application bar.
It's possible this feature is built into the theme. Have you read the readme file?
Yes DrWorm i read the readme file and all elements are set for them to be ontop. Duece what should the 4 lines of one number read if i wanted it to work???
The problem only occurs after i exit from counter-strike or other half-life mods.
ok, I think that's a different problem. I seem to remember some people having a similar problem with the theme windows losing their "on-top ability" after quitting a full-screen app like games. I think the solution was to set up a script (which was run by a bang shortcut) that would hide all the modules before beginning a full-screen app, then another one to un-hide them after you're done. nanostep probably doesn't have functionality like that built in, so you'll have to do it yourself. there are a few posts on hiding modules in the forum, just search for them. however, in case I'm wrong, and this is just an issue with the desktop area being set wrong, then here's what you need to do. the four lines should be set to something like either:
"setdesktoparea #,#,#,##"
or
"SDATop 24
SDABottom -3
SDALeft 3
SDARight -3"
or something similar. the commands all depends on which module is being used by the theme, and since I can't find nanostep, I can't look to see.
