ok, I'm new to the new litestep :)

1. why wont these work? *fixed*

*Hotkey Ctrl+Alt Right !VWMMoveApp right !VWMDown
*Hotkey Ctrl+Alt Left !VWMMoveApp Left !VWMUp

changed them to

*Hotkey Ctrl+Alt Right !Execute [!VWMMoveApp right] [!VWMDown]
*Hotkey Ctrl+Alt Left !Execute [!VWMMoveApp Left] [!VWMUp]
:D

2.
how do I set the !bang command
!VWMTOGGLEHIDETASKONSWITCH
in step.rc ? i've tried several methods, but none seem to work.

3. I cant make the *VWMFix thing to work. I want to open PS7.0 in desktop3, so what should I do? :)

try:
1. *Hotkey Ctrl+Alt Right !Execute[!VWMMoveApp right][!VWMDown]
*Hotkey Ctrl+Alt Left !Execute[!VWMMoveApp Left][!VWMUp]

2. you can't set that in the theme.rc. well, you can, but it wouldn't make sense to. if you actually want to use it as a toggle, then make it a hotkey. but if you just want the tasks to hide on vwm switch, then you're using the wrong command. you should be using "VWMHideTaskOnSwitch"

3. That's not what *vwmfix does. I think you may be able to use "*VWMStartWindowsOnDesktop" for this. if it doesn't work, you can set a hotkey to:
!VWMOpen 3 (path to ps7)

yes, I know NWMFix doesnt do that, but I cant make VWMFix do what it's supposed to :)

well, you should have said that in the first place. because from what you said, my answer was correct.

what code do you for *vwmfix right now?

I dont know what code I should use, so I haven't got any.

I want to be able to go to desktop3, open photoshop, go to desktop1 and chat a little, go back to desktop3 and have all the photoshop windows and toolbars there. The way it is now, I can either wait for PS to load, or recall all the toolbars. When I read about *VWMFix, it seemed that it was supposed to fix this.

*VWMFix
-----------------------------------
This command fixes photoshop's toolwindows or other programs toolwindows such as illustrator.
It is a bit tricky to use as you have to specify the window title or the class name of
the "PARENT" window of the toolwindows. So you have to use winspy or other program
to check Photoshop's class name or windows' title in order for this config to work

default: no default
example: *VWMFix Photoshop; this will fix photoshop's toolwindow
(this command can be specified multiple times for different windows)


EDIT:

I tried to ad this to step.rc, but it didn't work. But then I found the command in personal.rc, changed it, and it worked. thx :)
