I'm a rank newbie, and I love Litestep. I have dual monitors and need to load rabidvwm. I have downloaded the zip file and zipped it into the modules folder of LiteStep. I know how to bring up themerc. I read on Westep that I need to enter the following into themerc:

LoadModule "$ModuleDir$NewModule.dll"

This is where I start treading water. This is my best attempt:

LoadModule "$C:\LiteStep\modules$RabidVWM-1.2.1i.dll"

I also know that I need to replace true with false in themerc after chkvwm. However, this doesn't seem to work for me.

Can someone help? I'll be most grateful!

well...lets start with the basics.

1) Go to http://wiki.litestep.com and do some reading. It is more current than Westep's site.

2) You want to use NetLoadModule instead of LoadModule

3) Setting ckvwm to false isn't going to work. You need to comment out the line with a ;.

thank you so much for your prompt clarity. I'm assuming that what I had that followed LoadModule was accurate. Yes?

uhhmmm...no. But everything will change once you switch over to NetLoadModule.

Here is some old outdated docs that I wrote years ago but still is somewhat usefull. Basically the only section you need to ignore is the LoadModule lines.

How do I switch over to NetLoadModule and what are the "old outdated docs" that you refer to? Thanks! Are you having fun yet?

oopsie...forgot to put in the LINK

Gonna read the wiki and some more stuff to understand NLM.

At the wiki, you'll specifically want to check out this:
