CPU usage at 100% after recycle Thread last updated on 2004-07-30 01:52:32

I am running the Soul theme, and I love it. The only issue I can see is the fact that when I recycle the theme my CPU usage shoots up to 100% and freezes the desktop... although winamp and suck keeps playing, the shell is frozen. The temporary solution is to stop litestep.exe in the task manager and then to run it again.

I am willing to keep doing this, because I love the theme with a passion. However, does anyone happen to know how to solve this issue? It's the only theme that has done this to me so far, so I am at a loss.

Thanks in advance.

Unload modules one by one and try to find the culprit(s).

I'll give that a try, thanks for the quick reply.

check the vwm version. I seem to remember a release of rabidvwm that had this effect...

XLabel's been giving one of my themes similar issues (so did clockwork.) Maybe I should just write my own damn modules, haha.

Anyone still using rabidvwm-1.01, please upgrade.

YES SIR!

hopefully the syntax of stuff hasn't changed so i don't have to go reconfig for my dual display xD
