Hi!
I'm download a few days ago LS and have some problems:

* I'm a developer, and when I use Borland C++ Builder and run an application, the window don't appear in the "visible screen" And I need to: Alt + Space to bring up the system menu and choose move then, I need to put the mouse in the middle of the screen and press a key to "magically" appear the windows under the Mouse cursor.
And, Obiously this is A MESS, because I test always apps.

* Sometimes the same behavior occurs when I open an app.
* Sometimes, all the LS objects (taskbar, etc, etc) simply hang up for a couple of secs, I can play with the opens apps in the current desktop, but i cant change to others virtual desktops, or use the taskbar to get other app bring up to front, I can only use ALT+TAB or the mouse to change from one app to other.
The only solution I can find to this is (offen) recicle litestep (CTRL+ALT+F1, then the command), someti.
In some opportunities this solutions gimme a worst problem, all the windows get off screen, and I need to bring it up to the visible screen with the same operation I describe above.

Help me :(

Maybe someone could help you with the info you give,but.
1)Op system
2)LS version (came as part of an intaller or stand-alone?)
3)Copy & paste NetLodModule lines for "desktop module and vwm module".
that could help.

Ah!, sorry, i'm a idiot :S

I'm Using W2K and LS 0.24.7 RC 1
And:
netloadmodule-2.4.3
The last i don't know how to get it, sorry, i'm a newbie in litestep :$

3)those lines can be found on the theme.rc of the theme you are ussing.(post the theme name also).

Ok, rebriefing...

W2k SP4 (all patchs Applied), LS 0.24.7 RC 1 and netloadmodule-2.4.3, using theme pixoffice.
The lines in theme.rc:

*NetLoadModule jdesk-0.70
*NetLoadModule popup2-2.1.5
*NetLoadModule ckvwm-1.35

If ResolutionX > 800
*NetLoadModule bpopup2-0.4
EndIf

*NetLoadModule vtray-1.06
*NetLoadModule icondesk-0.67
*NetLoadModule dynamp-0.50
*NetLoadModule rainlendar-0.17.1
*NetLoadModule lsxcommand-1.8.5
*NetLoadModule skinbox-1.0-beta_4.1
*NetLoadModule lsslider-1.71
*NetLoadModule aboutex-0.1
*NetLoadModule label-1.99
*NetLoadModule taskbar3-0.306_alpha-3
*NetLoadModule mzscript-0.9_beta-11-jam3

If someone are using a theme more stable, please tell me, I change to test, but I like this theme, it's clear.

Try changing this lines to:
*NetLoadModule jdesk-0.711
*NetLoadModule ckvwm-1.40
see what happens.
If the problem remains add this lines to the ckvwm.rc:
VWMUseInitialDesk
VWMInitialDesk #1
and change:
VWMNoGathering true to false

jdesk-0.711 has a different order for its work area than 0.70, so that requires other changes. I don't think that or VWMInitialDesk will help much anyway.

If ckvwm-1.40 doesn't help, try rabidvwm-1.1.1

Can't beleive there would be a theme more stable ;)

Thanks Guys, I try it and tell.

JAJAJAJA Phar0e, I love this theme, and really it's resolution independent, I'm using it at 1280x1024 and at 1600x1200 and it's really good :D

sorry about that:
on jdesk-070 (jDeskWorkArea "left,right,top,bottom")
on jdesk-0711 (jDeskWorkArea "left,top,right,bottom")

PEOPLE!!!, i'm getting some strange behavoir with LS :(
W2k sp4 and ls 0.24.7 RC1 and:

;*NetLoadModule ckvwm-1.40
*NetLoadModule rabidvwm-1.1.1

In a multiple window program (not MDI, like GIMP o Borland C++ BuildeR) I get some window in a desktop and other windows in the next desktop :S

Still have the problem of the "freeze" of the LS.

Another idea?
