Does litestep still have problems with games? Thread last updated on 2004-01-11 16:41:58

Last time I used litestep, the themes would always fight with full screen games so the theme's taskbar and stuff like that would be flashing up on top of any full screen games running.

Does that problem still exist? If so, is an easy remedy available?

Making the theme elements not on top is a rememdy.

the problem still exists, but there is a fix now... either put LSAutoHideModules in your step.rc (this may cause modules to hide other times than just with full screen apps, the detection isnt perfect yet), or call !hidemodules or !togglemodules before running the games, and then !showmodules/!togglemodules after. the only problem left is if you have lsxcommand showing the time or winamp song... it has a bug where it wont hide with that command. otherwise, you should be good to go(:

btw...!hidemodules/!togglemodules/!showmodules...are all personally scripting bangs and are not part of the core.

odd...they don't work here

Sometimes they don't automagically work for full-screen games. What I do is have them as keybaord shortcuts in my personal stuff, so I can force them on/off whenever needed, and quickly.

Does !hidemodules/!togglemodules/!showmodules apply on stuff like hotspot, too ?
