I can't get the desktop icons to act like the icons do in explorer and Austerity, aka Top left. Can someone help me with this?

you will need to adjust your IconDesk settings no matter which of these two themes you are using.

Have the same problem. Could you be a bit more specific? Is it under My computeror do I have to edit a config file of litestep?

I can't find a config file.

Theme.rc IS a config file. In there you should also see paths to other included configs. You will find more info in your litestep\modules\docs folder.

I just started with litestep about a week ago, it took me a few trys to figure out icondesk.

I read in another post you are useing Glaze 1.3

Open you desktop_icons.rc

To get my icons to do what you want I had to change the values of the X, and Y

IconDeskMainX 10
IconDeskMainY 40

Also so they will be like default explorer, change

IconDeskMainDirection Down

Hope that helps

Gathering is a little bit difficult for new users to understand so here's a little help:

open:
\themes\Gathering\ThemeSkins\Gathering\config\themeconfig(1 and 2)\gathering(1 and 2).rc
(other skins check out:
\Gathering\ThemeSkins\"SkinName"\config\skinbase.rc
)

in here you'll find IconDesk Settings (search in editor "IconDesk")

These are the improtant lines for you:


the thing is, copy these lines and paste them back right below. Now you have two times the same settings in there, one of the settings comment out with an ; in front of the line:



with the other you are now able to set new values and you are sure you still got the old ones of you did something wrong.


another thing with GatheringSkin is, if you've choose the "Stylish Skin" you need to change the:
\themes\Gathering\ThemeSkins\Gathering\config\themeconfig1\gathering1.rc
and the "NormalSkin" is:
\themes\Gathering\ThemeSkins\Gathering\config\themeconfig2\gathering2.rc




This should help you to change the Icon Settings to your own heart
