Hi. I wrote this much of a theme and it doesn't work. I just get an egg timer for a mouse :(
...Wel actually my mouse goes orange cos that's it's setting but that's irrelevant.
Here's what I wrote so far....

--------------------this is step.rc---------------------
----location $litestepdir$profiles\dave\themes\notes----

--------------------this is user.rc---------------------
------location $litestepdir$profiles\dave\personal------



*Popup "Start Menu" !PopupDynamicFolder: "$Programs$"
*Popup "About Litestep" !about
*Popup "Edit step.rc" $themepath$step.rc
*Popup "Litestep commands" Folder
*Popup "Recycle" !Recycle
*Popup "Edit Step.rc" $Themepath$step.rc
*Popup ~Folder
*Popup "Explorer" explorer.exe

--------------------------------------------------------

So there's not much to go wrong really. I'm using 24.7, and XP, and have had several other (downloaded) themes work fine.
Also I used Litestep Installer incase that's relevant?
Thanks

you have to either load the modules with *netloadmodule modulename-versionnumber or LoadModule $litestepdir$modulename.dll.

the problem with this theme is that you have created an endless loop by including this file over and over again and never getting past line 2.

hurray! cheers guys.
