I am having trouble with popup menu definitions that are not within the /personal/popup.rc file.

Although all the include paths to theme-specific popup menu .rc files seem ok, they are not activated either when called from /personal/popup.rc, i.e. *Popup "$ThemeName$" !PopupTheme or by clicking on hotspots on the theme's toolbar.

I also find the the left-click on the desktop does not do anything at all.

I used litestep_installer-3.0.2.exe to get the system on my mnachine and have not done any customisation other than loading a number of themes.

Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.

First, the desktop problem. Look in the jdesk readme file for how to define the left click function.

I didn't quite get your popup question, but it sounds you're having syntax problems. Things like !New and Folder have to to be closed with ~New and ~Folder, and you put your *Popup items in between.

Like:
*Popup "some text" !New !NameofPopup
*Popup "folder name" Folder
*Popup "item" !action
*Popup ~Folder
*Popup ~New
Then you'd call that popup by !NameofPopup.

Understanding that, if you're just sticking...
*Popup "stuff" !action
...in the middle of no where, nothing is going to happen.

If you're just trying to modify your existing popup, and you insist on not having the *popup entries inside the \personal\popup.rc file, you can have naked *Popup entries inside a different file, but you have to add to your \personal\popup.rc file, and it has to be between the !New and ~New entries.

I hope I got your question somewhere in there. ;)

Ok, I think this is somewhat related. I'm modifying the non|step theme a bit by trying to put more buttons in place of the vwm. So I got a button, and I tried to link it to a popup for a folder that I made with shortcuts to games in it, like this (in non|step's bar config):

gameButtonOnLeftClickDown !PopupDynamicFolder:"C:\LiteStep\personal\Games shortcuts" -355 -200

If I need to configure this popup more, in what file do I need to do it, and then would I have to do the whole ~New and ~Folder thing?

!PopupDynamicFolder "C:\LiteStep\personal\Games shortcuts" -355 -200

That should work all by itself as a button press.

Hmmm. It doesn't seem to do anything. That line does go in the bar config, right?
