I use aim a lot, and in explorer the button flashes when someone sends you an im, but with the fatbar lite shell, the button doesnt flash. Is there any code i can edit to change this, and if so where is it? thanks

First, let me commend you for your exquisite taste in Litestep themes. :D

There's a tiny bug with xtaskbar's update/flashing interval not working properly with the default value. Open up the taskbar.rc file located in the theme's Config folder, and add these two lines:
xTaskbarUpdateInterval 500
xTaskbarFlashingInterval 500


Also, make sure you've chosen a Solid Color and Active Color that have enough of a contrast. The flashing in that theme uses the Active Color.

That should do the trick.

Thanks for the help man. I enjoy this theme a lot. Added the thing to have desktop icons as well, and I couldn't ask for anything better. Keep up the good work.

Oops, I meant to say "Open up the taskbar.rc file located in ..." (edited to reflect that). Prob won't matter where it goes, though. :P

Glad you like it. =)

yeah it works either way, put it in the taskbar.rc file for the heck of it.
