I've just started using Litestep, so I hope the veterans here will be kinder on a person that has only a little programming experience.

When trying to edit the step.rc file, I've run across several questions that I havent found answers to even after reading the documentation. My first problem is about editing itself. For example, if I wanted to make the Systray snap (SystraySnap true), I could just put that code anywhere, right?

My second question has to do with themes. I've noticed that many of the Systray edits on step.rc have to do with systray positioning and size. As I am using Omar's original theme, the systray is grafted onto the bottom of the screen, and I don't know what effect changing systray settings (especially size) will have on it and the other functions that share the same space (winamp, clock, etc.)

Thanks.

"I could just put that code anywhere, right?"

Yes. But it's more readable if you group all setting for a module together.

"My second question has to do with themes"

So what's your question? Change the systray settings, recycle the theme and you will soon see what effect it has.

well, changing the systray settings won't effect winamp/clock, etc, because they're all different. when you're showing the systray, you're hiding winamp, and everything else. they share the same space, but that's the only thing they really have in common. as for the other settings, who knows? without knowing which settings you're going to change, it's KINDA hard to give an answer to that non-question. since you're not sure of what you're doing, it would probably be a good idea to make a copy of the .rc file.
