Im in the process of making my first theme and have come accross a problem.

When I load or refresh my theme i get lots of Jkey errors

Hotkey failed to regester.
Error while processing definition
*Hotkey WIN R !Run

and loads of other hot key errors.

I haven't included the jkey module in my theme.rc but ive noticed its automaticaly loaded in personal.rc i think.
I don't have any reference to jkey in my theme at all, so has anyone got any ideas what could be the problem?

Search for another line in you setup that defines WIN R. Otherwise most likely you have included your hotkey rc file twice, or loaded both hotkey.dll and jkey.dll

Now Im confused!

thers no reference to WIN R or any of these hotkeys in any of my theme files. I havent put either hotkey.dll or jkey.dll in my theme.rc!!
I only have 1 hotkey.rc and thats in my personal folder.

??

This happens to me alot. Especially when you run litestep twice. IE, Litestep performed an error and is hanging and you decide to run litestep.exe.

Ive found out why I was getting the errors.
In my theme.rc ive found that removing the lines

include $PersonalDir$personal.rc
include $PersonalDir$evars.rc

worked!

Hope this helps u rossjman1 :)

@Neomorpheus, if you read the OTS2 specifications, you shouldn't have those lines in your theme.rc (anywhere in your theme!)

@iStarTAC, yea, I realise that now thanks.
This is my first theme and I used a theme as a base for mine, and it already had those lines in it.

I am having the same problems, but I am just using the Austerity theme (the one that came with litestep!)
I also can't get custom combinations to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
