Use $ResolutionX+ResolutionX-the pixel width you need$

ex: $ResolutionX+ResolutionX-35$
If your bar was 35pixels wide...

I'm not familiar with that exact theme. Have you done any editing of config files yet?

i can't find anything there for Dual Moniter setups

maybe because you spell Monitor wrong?

seriously mate, just look into editing your theme. weve all had to do it many times, and youll need to become familiar with it if you intend to use litestep.

This may not be the time or place for this, but....

First of all, I'm going to assume that since you used an installer, your theme is built according to something called the OTS (Open Theme Standard).

Right click on your desktop, and go to 'litestep > themes folder'

your file manager should pop up in a folder with a couple of files and a couple of folders. One of these will be called 'config'. Double click on this one.

Here's the part where you'll have to do some work on your own. Look through all of the ".rc" files in the config folder using your text editor and look for something that is named "Bar" or "Taskbar" You should eventually find a line that says BarX (or something like it) followed by some code in $$ signs. Replace the thing between the dollar signs with $ResolutionX*2-Bar...Width$.

Hopefully this should solve your problem.

While you're in here, take a look at the other files - the only real way to learn how to use litestep is to look at how other people do it. Hopefully you'll be creating your own themes soon!


p.s.
Si quieres que yo traduzca todo esto a espanol, puedo hacerlo. Sin embargo, no se si va a estar tan claro....
