I'm new to LiteStep, but have done my fair share of messing around with theme files already. I've gotten one OTS2 theme to work after editing the theme.rc, albeit not without some errors. However, I imagine a lot of us (being LiteStep users) want to use older themes since there aren't a lot of OTS2 themes available...
So, I read that the newest build (the one I installed) supported OTS1, as well as OTS2. This does not seem to be the case. I have tried using a number of older themes using both the installer and unzipping and changing manually. I would like to use the latest build which claims backwards compatibility.
The guide for using old themes that is frequently linked in replies (http://o-t-s.sourceforge.net/theme_installation.html#usingoldthemes) does not work. It even seems a little infantile -- it basically tells you to do the same exact thing as installing an OTS2 theme. What good is that if the support for OTS1 isn't there?
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to update something? Download more modules? I want to get OTS1 themes to work with the latest build -- without the pain of updating them to OT 2 standard. Is this possible or not? The newest news on the LiteStep mainpage (as well as a dozen other places) certainly seem to say it is and I'd like some clarification.
Anyhow, any help would be muchly appreciated.
