Is there a way to make a them that has absolutely NOTHING to load EXCEPT a pop-up menu? (which you can right-click to get to)

I need to know how to make it myself, or if someone has already made something like it. and if someone has, then i would like the name of the theme and a link to it if possible.

just grab a theme and comment out every NetLoadModule line, except the popup

"Hi... I signed up recently and I am too lazy to look around or read anything. Can you do it for me?"

This is like thread 10 on this. Why is it so hard for users to read the docs and learn?

sryo: you need a desktop module too(:

OTSMajorVersion 2
OTSMinorVersion 0

ThemeName "popup"
ThemeAuthor "doy"

*NetLoadModule desktop2-2.0
*NetLoadModule popup2-2.1.6

should do it... just name this file theme.rc, put it in a folder called popup in your theme directory, put that folder in a zip file, and use the ls theme installer to install it. you can add options to make the popup menu look how you want... look in $modulesdir$docs\popup2-2.1.6 to find out how.

by the way, austerity (the default theme that comes with the installer) can do this... read the readme to find out how.

not necesaily, he could have accesed the popup through the hotkeys.
