Shortcut3-2.0 vs Shortcut2-2.0 Thread last updated on 2003-10-28 00:20:34

I recently made my own theme, transparent, which had issues and most were resolved in transparent V2... however, I had also made a change from using the Shortcut2-2.0 Module to Shortcut3-2.0 and realized that V3 has caused all of my desk shortcuts to be displayed as seperate processes when hitting C+A+D to view running programs.

I dont know what causes this as I am not a coder, but I do know that it does matter which version you use, at least on my machine, with my theme, it did...

Just to let you coders know that this is an issue for at least one machine....

I use the latest version of LS and WinXP if that makes it any easier to diagnose the issue... :)

Thank for listening and keep coding the good s**t!

shortcut3 is an entirely different module despite its similar name. If the theme was designed for/with shortcut2 you should really keep using it. Shortcut3 was never finished and it quite buggy from what I've heard.

Since there is currently no maintainer for shortcut3 I doubt that the issue will be fixed anytime soon, sorry. :( shortcut2 however might see an update every now and then.

layercut is a good alternative

i havent heard of layercut, however shortcut2-2.0 works real good and doesnt cause the C+A+D window to be filled with all the shortcuts you use...
