Excalibur II Troubles Thread last updated on 2003-11-20 07:04:06

Okay.. I'm a newbie.

In the Excalibur II theme, I seem to be having trouble configuring and using the shortcut buttons.

What could be the problem?

I've followed the instructions of right-clicking and assigning an app and name, but it still doesn't work. I've even manually edited the 'Vars.rc' in the theme config directory.

I am also having difficulty running winamp from the 'audioplayer' and 'browser' shortcut. I've configured it properly I think.

Thx for any help!

I am quite new to litestep but you could try editing youre evar file in your personaly directory...

actually i figured the problem of the shortcuts not working. it wont accept spaces in the path.
just open the theme.rc and change the following ::
LabelCustomOneOnLeftClick $CustomOneCommand$ to
LabelCustomOneOnLeftClick "$CustomOneCommand$".
yeah just add the double quotes. do the same for the others too. and that worked for me.
as for the audioplayer and browser.... use the EvarConfig in the utilities folder to set them and they will work too.

but dont use quotes when using evarconfig to set the paths, or else you will have two set of quotes, and things wont work

yup. just browse and set location when using the evarconfig tool. its easier. :).

Thanks guys! The help is appreciated!

i've also edited the evars before i posted this, i set the audio player as Winamp and browser as IE and it still doesn't work.

Okay.. another kind of n00b question... what would be the code to make an image rollover for the custom shortcuts? like a blank one?

Posted by member 1340 on 2003-11-18 05:12:05 link

for the custom shortcuts sorry u cant have a rollover image.
cuz it uses labels instead of shortcuts. labels dont have rollover image.
as for the evars.... give us the lines what u exactly did.... just cut paste it here.

well, you can... just define
firstlabelonmouseenter !execute [!firstlabelhide][!secondlabelshow]
secondlabelonmouseleave !execute [!secondlabelhide][!firstlabelshow]

where firstlabel has the normal image and secondlabel has the rollover image, and all other options for them are the same

sorry for the lagged reply.. in Australia. just got home from school...

FileManager "C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe"
TxtEditor "%SystemRoot%\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE"
CmdPrompt "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe"
AudioPlayer "C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe"
.... the stuff between it works...
Browser "C:\Program Files\MozillaFirebird\MozillaFirebird.exe"


thx for the rollover code... i'll try it

[edit]

hmm.. call me a n00b... i couldn't get the code to work

Posted by member 72897 on 2003-11-20 07:04:06 link

I don't know if this would make a difference but the coding I have to set firebird as my browser is as follows:

Browser "C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\MOZILL~1.EXE"
