X popup question Thread last updated on 2005-10-22 22:48:26

I've been using LS for a pretty long time but I am having trouble with themes that use xpopup. The popup menus never shows up. I have the modules and they load but I never can see the popup. What am I dong wrong? Thanks in adbance.

What themes, specifically?

make sure that
xPopupCompatibilityMode True
is set somewhere in the theme, otherwise it won't be able to read your popup.rc config.

Cerbie ; So far the themes I have that I can't get to work right are logic.dream, Shinra, Blue heart, & Ximian NG

deuce ; I checked the code and actually logic dream was configured as xPopupCompatibilityMode Bool and I edited it to true now when I did that the Program Loader started working but I still don't have popups.

Note: any themes using other versions of popup other than X work just fine.

Is your Litestep up to date, using RC3? Have you previously altered your popup.rc in your \litestep\personal folder?

Hi,

In Logic.Dream, what happens when you execute this: !Popup
or
!PopupTheme
???

What OS are you running? (Win2k and better should be fine)
Like xcal says: Update your build.

xcal - ok I did the update thanks. What would I be looking for in my personal popup.rc? I have made edits but its been a while.

fractaldesign - !Popup does nothing but !PopupTheme does launch that menu and I can change setting to and see the changes made. Os = XP pro

OK, thats weird... :)

whats in your personal\popup.rc ???

Ok, the fact that !popup isn't working but !PopupTheme is makes me think you're \personal\popup.rc file is fubar from previous edits. Make sure all your *popup "stuff" folder entries are eventually followed by a ~folder (should be the same number of each!), and make sure your popup.rc starts with *Popup !New !Popup and ends with *Popup ~New. Also make sure that your \personal\personal.rc has "*jDeskMButton2 [.none;!none;!Popup;!none]" in it. It may just be easier to reinstall Litestep. :P

OK got it fixed - thanks. It was something in the popup.rc I had some stuff not in a folder. Once I did that edit it now works across the board. Man that was bugging the crap out of me. Thanks guys. ;-)
