Well, I'm creating a theme for my own personal use, and here are the problems I ran into.

Probably the weirdest one, lsxcommand won't load. I tried *NetLoadModule lsxcommand-1.9.2 and LoadModule C:\Litestep\Modules\lsxcommand-1.9.2.dll and when I open up the about box, it doesn't even show in the loaded modules list. I don't get any error messages or anything. If I delete lsxcommand-1.9.2.dll from my modules dir and my NLM zip dir, and then try to load it with *NetLoadModule, nothing pops up asking to download it or anything. And it doesn't show in the loaded modules. Weird. How do I fix this?

Now, probably easier, RabidVWM and xlabel. I want to have a label that displays the current desktop. So I created a new label, configured it, and I added these lines:

VWMOnSwtchTo1 !labelsetext vwmlbl "1"
VWMOnSwtchTo2 !labelsetext vwmlbl "2"
VWMOnSwtchTo3 !labelsetext vwmlbl "3"
VWMOnSwtchTo4 !labelsetext vwmlbl "4"

But it doesn't work and nothing happens when I switch destops. Help please.

Last, I'm getting some huge memory consumtion from rainlendar. Normally, litestep.exe uses 12megs of ram. But when I load rainlendar.dll, it jumps to 36! I asked this on rainy's frum, but he doesn't know what could be the problem.

Any help concerning the problems would be greatly appreciated!

if you did copy 'n paste, try changing "Swtch" to "Switch" :D

Oops, it's not actually like that in the config file, just on typo on here :)

What's wrong with my documentation for RabidVWM? I've got three examples for VWMOnSwitchTo, one of which could directly apply to this, and a note farther down in the file that specifically explains that what you are trying will not work that way.


Dunno about lsxcommand. Maybe try "!NetUninstallModule lsxcommand-1.9.2" and "!NetReloadModule lsxcommand-1.9.2" Or maybe turn on NetLoadModuleTestMessage and see if it's listed in the dialog.

Thanks Rabid, ill try this.

Got RabidVWM working.

As for lsxcommand, neither of these work. It doesn't show up in the NetLoadModuleTestMessage message

This is really weird :/

If it doesn't show up in NetLoadModuleTestMessage then NLM doesn't see the *NetLoadModule line at all. (or you might have an insanely long alias for it, but I don't know how you'd manage that) Are you certain that the place where you're putting that line is actually included and active?

The same place as all modules, which load perfectly. Straight in theme.rc Here's the line, copied and pasted:

*NetLoadModule lsxcommand-1.9.2

Well I'm out of ideas then.

Change that line to for example:
*NetLoadModule lsxcommand-1.8.5
and see what happens.

RC:I know it doesent make sense, but that will recheck some of the given info.

Doesn't work either.

I made a simple theme to test it out. I just loaded lsxcommand and nothing else, no configs or anything. I switched to that theme and lsxcommand loads just fine. Ill check my configs to see if the problem is in there.

Couldn't find anything. Does anyone know a setting/module that could interfere with lsxcommand loading?

According to what you stated the problem is on that theme.rc.
so on that theme.rc comment all loading lines except for popup and lsxcommand if that works start loading module by module.
if that doesent work just copy and paste modules by module from the bad theme to your test theme were you know lsxcommand works.

Already tried the commenting out part, ill try adding modules to my test theme.
