Well, I'm new here and had some questions. I had litestep installed on my system probably about a year ago and really enjoyed the custom options and the interface. The only problem I had was I really missed my right click for copying pasting and such. I was wondering if there is an option or mod that could give me this capablity back. I dont know if this kind of topic is allowed or not and if not feel free to delete or close it but any information would be appreciated. I would love to run litestep again!

I guess i mean like in a folder on the desktop. It is the standard right click that windows provides with create new, copy, paste, undo, properties, etc. Last time I installed litestep right click was used to bring up the "Start menu" if you want to call it that. If it is there can someone tell me what themes have it enabled or if it has been changed so that right click is that menu instead of the start menu.

"Last time I installed litestep right click was used to bring up the "Start menu" ".
Well, it's still like that - it's called a popup. All themes use it. However, it only appears when you right-click on the desktop, or on other enabled areas (like on the taskbar, empty portion of the systray, etc). Inside actual folders (browsing in My Computer, or elsewhere), the normal Windows right-click menu is still there. And, of course, anyplace else it would normally be valid.

Cool. When i first installed it i just downloaded a theme that was pretty buggy so maybe I screwed it up when I was messing with the files. Is there a way to change right click on the desktop to make it the popup menu instead of the start menu? Another thing is when you are browsing your computer via file windows and things are those usually still Windows GUI or are they that of the themes? Can they be changed and if they are changed to the themes GUI then is the right click still enabled? Another question :) well kinda, a theme can modify the right click options to add/sub options right?

k, first, there is no start menu. there is only the popup. however, you can create multiple popups, and configure them however you want(for instance, clicking on the taskbar brings up one popup, the systray brings up another, and the "desktop" so to speak brings up your main one).. second, go here: http://www.litestep.net/index.php?section=4&action=view&catId=1&id=124. third, no.
