Is there anyone still out there using this ? I like it a lot but have questions.
1) How do I modify the menu for when I am at work?
Meaning that when I log in to work I get the network applications that do not appear on the menu?
2) I would like to edit the clock but not sure how ?

I am newbie and will look for more information but in genneral I wanted to see who is out here and say hello.

Devil, Sorry I meant no offense. I am turely a newbie with all this. I am glad to see that about 3 million other people have looked at all the options and seen litestep for the product it is. I will give you more detail shortly as I investagate Litestep.

1) The menu is configured in personal\popup.rc
2) What theme are you using? (There are about 50 million different clocks in ls ;))

The broad, all-encompasing response to your clock (and to a certain extent popup) question is: rtfm (well, I don't like that abbreviation but it applies).

Themes are made up of modules which province commands and settings - and incertain cases objects - to the user. A clock is usually just a label (or more recently an "xLabel"). All you need to do is find the lines in your theme's .rc files (located usually in /Litestep/profiles/dcazman/themes/themename) which configure the look of your clock "label" and change them to the way you want.

First thing to do is find out what module is doing your clock for you (look in your theme.rc file for a line starting with *NetLoadModule and followed by either "label-x.x.x" or "xLabel-x.x.x" with the x.x.x being a version number), then look in your /litestep/modules/docs folder for that modules docs, then rtfm and enjoy :D

That's how you learn litestep basically. Take apart someone else's theme and understand the modules they used and why.

Good luck :D

Footnote:

Sometimes a module's docs aren't html files and therefore aren't automatically extracted by litestep to your /modules/docs folder. In these cases you can look in your /modules/archive folder for that module's .zip file and extract that docs manually :)
