Always seems to be a recurring problem regardless of lsbuild.
Even using the bangcommand !popuptheme in lsxcommand doesnt work so its not as if its a problem with personal.rc
newhere else i can look?
That's just !popup.
The !popuptheme is made by the theme author.
im quite aware of what !popup is and its not as if im missing popuptheme.rc
Reinstalling litestep fixes it but that shouldnt be an acceptable solution.
Then why even mention !popuptheme, which has nothing to do with Omar's LS distro at all (save Austerity, which you did not specify)?
If !popup doesn't work, and a popup2-x is loaded, something is wrong. !popuptheme not working could be any number of issues with the theme in question.
Reinstalling Windows shouldn't be a solution to problems either, but often it's the best one.
Check !about to see if the bang is defined.
Having a similar (the same?) problem here.
RabidCow, I've been unable to call up any theme config popups, and taking your advice I checked: I have no !popuptheme bang defined.
Now what? I've checked here and at loose-screws and a couple other places, and can't find any popup.dll that defines that bang for me!
If the theme has one, on of the .rc files will have a line like
*Popup "Theme whatever" !new !popuptheme
A search in the theme's durectory for a file containing the text "!new" should do the trick. If it finds it and you can't get the popup in that theme...strange.
The file's there; it's got a popuptheme.rc that's included in the theme.rc, and it's got that line in it. And I still don't have a theme popup. I've checked a couple themes, and this is true for all of them. (FWIW, I had the same problem on a different machine, too, so it's not a quirk of this computer.)
Since we seem to have a new beta build out, I think I'll try installing that and see if it helps at all. Thanks for trying to help! (Edited: nope, hasn't helped.)
Could it be that you are missing the line for your desktop module that calls the popup?
*jDeskMButton3 [ctrl;!popuptheme;.none;.none]
or something likr that
This is usually due to a missing ~new or even a missing ~Folder in the first popup. Remove all entries from your main popup (and from all other besides !PopupTheme), but keep !new and ~new and try again.
Thank you so much, ilmcuts! By trying that, then commenting out each line to find the problem, I discovered that it was actually an extra ~Folder at the end where it didn't belong. I've got both popups now. Hope it helps the original poster, too!
