hi im totally new to litestep and installed it like 3 hours ago. i now wanted to go through some themes until i find the one i want, but im having trouble selecting most of the themes. most of the time i get an erro-message telling me a module couldnt be found. when i look in the directory i see the module though, and i thought it would download it if needed? sometimes ialso get this message:

LiteStepDir found: [C:\LiteStep]
PersonalDir found: [C:\LiteStep\personal]

OTSCfgVersion and OTSVersion are equal, continuing

theme was not installed


i tryed installing simple paln and nanoshell as these 2 are my favs, but of course they wont work.

i installed the normal LiteStep_Installer_omar_3.0.2_1-79.zip and nothing else.

dunno but the folder exists already. delete it and try and install again.

after changing the themeselection.rc manually it worked (well kinda) im now having the problem that the systemcolours are still set to another theme. so im having white background and stuff with blue eyplorer windows and i cant change it.

how do i change the colours if i cant do it in win xp (cause i cant)?

thx


one more thing: how do i change the hacker os to white? (but this is really just curiosity) [sorry for my english folks i am from germany]
