I recently downloaded litestep and like it.

One thing that I dislike is the size of the taskbar. I use the austerity theme. I have looked at other themes but didn't like them for a variety of reasons. How do I make the titlebar autohide (like the one in windows)?

Also, how do I arrange desktop icons on the desktop? Is it possible to drag-and-drop them, and if so, how? I looked at xLabel, but was wondering if there was an easier way.

P.S. I am running windows XP.

Thank you for your time.

Autohiding: You need to do some serious .rc hacking to pull this off in Austerity.
You would need something that covers all the bar elements (so that moving inbetween the elements doesnt do any actions) to trigger the autohiding action (either a label, or a hotspot or something)
Then you need to make OnEnter/Leave commands to show/hide all the bar elements.

Desktop icons: check out xDesktop (run a search on this forum)

thanks again for your help. The autohiding is out of the question for me then. (at least for now)

The search on this forum doesnt seem to work but I found xDesktop on google. The readme said to add the following:

xDesktopAutoCreate
xDesktopConfigFile "$ConfigDir$yourdesktopfile.rc"
include "$ConfigDir$yourdesktopfile.rc"

What file should I add this to? (It didn't say)
What other things, if any, do I have to do? (The readme wasnt specific about this either.)
Also, I put the dll file into the modules directory. Is this the correct place to put it?
I am sorry if these questions seem obvious, but I only downloaded litestep today. (so I am new)

Check out this super, amazingly, sweet wiki entry: here

If you're doing this in Austerity you'll want to disable the current desktop icons. You can do that by holding shift and left clicking the desktop for the option, or go in to the themevars.rc and change DeskTopIconsOn from true to false. (Note: Austerity already has a desktop_icons.rc so you can just use a different filename if you're following the wiki.)

thanks! that works perfectly.
