Okay, so I am looking at a couple of sites in the links section of this site, with the task of creating a litestep theme all of my own on my mind. I remember reading, or rather glancing at, a tutorila posted here in the boards, and it said nothing about step.rc. Also, in many themes, I do not see a step.rc. So, I figure that it is not needed. I happen across a site that mentions it, and it seems rather important. I don't know much about the OTS2 standards (okay, so I don't know anything about it other than the name), so the me part comes into play now. Do I need a step.rc file? It is needed for OTS2? If not, what was it used for?

-Thanks, W-

firstly, you should definitely read the ots2-guide on o-t-s.sf.net! it's not that long and really helpful for most people.

if you have a look into your litestep\ directory, you'll find step.rc there. in ots(2), it is more or less only left to link to the theme directory. it used to contain all these settings that are made in specifc theme dir nowadays, and you can actually still write all your settings into step.rc, only that it's much more practical to have them split in several files and well organised in subdirectories of themes\.

Like elkmonster I highly recommend you read o-t-s-sourceforge.net

according to ots2 standards, you shouldn't define any settings in step.rc. it's only used to tell ls to go looking in your theme for settings. site you mentioned is probably outdated.

Thanks guys. I will read that ots2 guide. Though, your links are different. I guess that I will try them both.

they're the same actualy, sf.net is SourceForge.net

*slaps forehead* I should have realized that. Sorry about that.
