There's probably a second *Hotkey Win M line in your hotkeys.rc.
No there's just one, however the acual function of win m works fine and goes to my desktop when pressed. The sound doesn't play though, and also the error message pops up everytime I load a video game or close a video game for that matter.
Any other suggestions other than not using this theme?
Well that was really bizarre. I changed the M to an N and now the functionality of both M and N work, however, no more error, and the sound works now. I'm a total noob at this, so I'm not sure where the problem lies. Perhaps there's a hotkey configuration in something other than hotkeys.rc? Oh well at least it works now.
Hurm... there might have been a program which grabbed WIN M before the hotkey module had a chance to do it. but that's quite unlikely since LS runs very early after logon and since WIN M isn't really a hotkey an app would/should use.
Maybe Logitech Itouch. Not sure though, and kinda doubt it. Doesn't really matter though, I'm kinda back to the default theme now til I find one I like. I liked this one all except 3 things:
1. The problem mentioned above.
2. No Desktop Manager.
3. For some reason it started wanting to display the bottom menu while loading Quake and wouldn't go away.
I guess maybe I'll wait for V4, or learn how to do this stuff myself.
About the quake problem - you can bind !HideModules/!ShowModules/!ToggleModules to hotkeys and use them to hide the entire UI.
Thanks for the tip, and I'll use that in the future, however it doesn't solve the problem. For some reason even with ToggleModule, yes it hides, but then reappears when I load the game. This is a great theme, but needs some serious debugging.
Change Win-M to something else like Win-G, as Win-M is built into windows, I think it does a minimise all or something.
Also remove or comment out "DesktopOnDisplayChange !Recycle" to stop the bar from appearing whilst playing Quake. Games seem to have some kinda display refresh thing going. I had the same problem with 1nsane.
Win + M actually isn't built into windows like you are thinking, but it is defined in hotkey.rc. I don't think you can use an override on it so you will have to move it as suggested above.
