I've searched the forums and probably missed some so i'm sorry if its been posted already. I installed Litestep on a Win98 OS and have the austerity theme running (was defualt). Only 9 Icons appear on the desktop, there are others there and when I delete one of those 9 a new one that was hidden before comes up. How do I enable all of them to be shown?

you need to move the desktop icons around in the config. They are just off the screen.

sorry for being such an idiot but could you help me out on how to do this? Right click, litestep, edit config?

What do I need to change in this... sorry again

IF TopBar
*DeskFolder align(left) background(transparent) contents(all) folder($Desktop$) font($IconFont$/8) labels(transparent) text($IconTxtColour$) position(0, 100) size(70, $ResolutionY-100$) view(icon)

ELSE
*DeskFolder align(left) background(transparent) contents(all) folder($Desktop$) font($IconFont$/8) labels(transparent) text($IconTxtColour$) position(0, 10) size(70, $ResolutionY-10-100$) view(icon)
ENDIF

I have not actually played with DeskFolder, but most LS configs follow the same logic. You have 2 different options here.

"IF TopBar" This says "if the bar is at the top of the screen, do the following" The ELSE condition's code is invoked if the bar is not at the top. The important part (in your case) begins; postion(...

The arguments passed to Position and Size are in the format x,y.

position(0,10) size (70, $ResolutionY-100$)
- means -
location-> 0 pixels over, 10 pixels down
size -> 70 pixels wide, by your Y resolution
minus 100

Just adjust the size parameters until all your icons fit.
