We all know the Game problematic with litestep
but there is one thing that troubles me

when im starting a game and the taskbar stays on top, normaly i hit my hideall shortcut and everything is fine
but some games(Morrowind for example) make that shortcut not work

another problem is that on resolution change litestep is recycled so it pops on to top in some games more than one time and it doesnt help to hideall before starting the game

is there any way to make litestep not recycle on res change?
or make the litestep key shortcuts work ALWAYS?

I'm sorry for my bad english im not a natural speaker

Use LSHideAllModules or whatever it is. This will hide everything when a full screen app opens.

Matroc: I'm curious... can you please state what version of the LiteStep Installer you used, and which theme is giving you problems?

I'm curious because it shouldn't be possible for a theme to make LiteStep recycle on resolution change. I forget which version of the installer this was added in though.

the step.rc command is LSAutoHideModules

and jdesk allows you to recycle on resolution changes - from the docs:
jDeskRecycleOnRezChange
- If set, jDesk requests are recycle of the shell
after a Screen resolution change.
- boolean value: true if set, otherwise false.

so make sure that doesnt appear in your .rc files anywhere

You could also bind !hidemodules/!showmodule/!togglemodules to hotkey(s).
