Hi.
First i wana thank you guys who makes those nice themes, i have been trying but i rly rly suck. so thought i was just gona "Mod" alitle on an alrdy existing theme to have it to work the way i want, all i need is basicly a rly easy thing...i guess.

The theme im using got no icon on the desktop so,. just to get started, could anyone please make me the "code" for "My computer to show up on the desktop?
And maybe a game exe file (for example, swat4)

i'll use icondesk as an example. download the zip file from wherever, stick it in the archive folder in modules. in step.rc add
*NetLoadModule icondesk-0.67
include "$ConfigDir$myfirsticons.rc"

(replace icondesk-0.67 w/ whatever version you have) to the bottom using notepad or whatever. then, in the config folder, make a file using notepad named myfirsticons.rc
next, follow the documentation and add lines into this text document. for example:
; ';' on a line means a comment, it'll be ignored

;u can make different groups of icons.
;let's make a group called MyFirstIcons
IconDeskGroups MyFirstIcons

;to set the different parameters, type:
; IconDesk
; for example:
IconDeskMyFirstIconsSize 32
; sets the size of the icons
IconDeskMyFirstIconsVisible false
; sets it so that the icon group is hidden (defaults true)
IconDeskMyFirstIconsX 20
IconDeskMyFirstIconsY 20
; where MyFirstIcons will be drawn on the screen

etc etc etc. all of it is in the documentation that comes with the module. just add stuff, and recycle, to see what happens. if u mess up, just take out something from the text file. im doing this from scratch so if ive made a mistake somewhere or overlooked something sry, its 5am i should be sleeping neway.

Just wanted to mention, if you're using *NetLoadModule you don't need to download in advance. NLM will do that for you.

sorry, i only stuck in that chunk because i read in another thread someone had trouble getting a module to be used w/o adding the archive step (i prolly misinterpreted the post, never personally had to do it).
