Yo ... I've been fooling around with lswchanger 1.2 for a while now and the question popped into my head "can I have it select different wallpapers for each theme I switch to"

So I went into each of my theme folders, created a "wallpaper" directory and left theme specific wallpapers, etc in there. Then I edited step.rc to include



and



but when I switch to another theme and/or recycle LiteStep I get the error

"No images in list!"

This persists even after using the !wallpaper .sort, !wallpaper .mix and just to be 100% sure the !wallpaper .on commands in lsxcommand-1.9.4 - I have to edit changes out of step.rc and recycle LiteStep to get it back to any sort of working order.

Moreover, the blueHeart theme takes a hit, with everything disappearing from the right click menu except "Shortcuts" !

I've read all documentation related to lswchanger and even tried altering the wallpaper path variable by placing back slashes in or around $WallpapersDir, which hasn't worked either.

I'm dead out of options. Is there any way I can get this to work that I might not have thought of yet?

There are many issues with what you posted but you went it all wrong. So here are a couple points..

1) When defining an eVar don't put a $ in front of it.

2) When using an eVar make sure you surround it in $'s. (ie $WallpapersDir$.

3) Read the documentation for OTS 2. There is a config for setting wallpapers on a per theme basis. It uses the misc folder and is really straight forward enough where you won't want to config a new module for it.

1 and 2 I won't argue with, but where I'm sure you interpret "a config" as one variable, I interpret "a config" as an actual description or outline of what to do.

And the latter - which you implied as to the existence of - I did not see in any links on http://o-t-s.sourceforge.net, nor did I see anything talking about the "misc" folder.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just looking at it wrong.

Read lsthemeinstaller.txt from your Utilities folder. It will tell you how to name things and where to put them. As for the word config...it is a setting or group of settings to get a task done.

Okay. I guess we can agree on wording it that way.

I think I've solved this problem by just shoving the full *wallpaper path in each theme.rc and changing it based on the exact theme loaded.

Might be more "ghetto" than what I was expecting, but *shrug* . . . whatever works.

too hard to read the docs and name the file properly in the misc folder?

Believe what you wish. ;)
