Hello,
I'm new to shell replacement but prefer the OpenSource efforts you all make.

Is it possible to create pull down menus in Litestep like you get in Astonshell and where can I find tutorials for this.

I looked around the themes available, but I have the impression most people work around cosmetics, not on an integration of their own way of working into a desktop.

It would be great to have pull down menus from where you can start templates to documents and so on.

Thanks for all help. As soon as I figure out solutions I'll post them myself.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "pull down menus", you mean like a listbox?

Sounds like a pinned popup to me - need more input. Whatever it is, LS can probably do it.

Hey guys,
Thanks for your intrest.
Have been thinking last night myself I didn't discribed enough what I meant. I don't know what a listbox is but a pinned popup is close to the description I guess.

I'd like to get desktop buttons that - by clicking of scrollover - show a menu where I can put all kind of stuff, e.g. a button "letters" which opens a menu with templates.
Idea is to get a desktop which includes in an easy and open way the tasks you want to do. You want to write a letter with a certain layout or a drawing with basic features. You don't want to open word, click, new, browse in folders, select a template, save it to a location...

When I got in though with desktop modification, my old dream of synergy came back; using different programs in ONE way. Every task needs different programs, but why does this allway mean you get to change from environment...? I know I'm getting to far now, but desktop modification could already do a heaven of difference on the microsoft dominated themes.

thx

Think I'm making it to difficult again...what I am looking for is a desktop like a website, with fixed buttons that start applications of files.

There is no GUI to set this up, so you'll have to code it yourself. Doesn't seem too difficult, though. Good luck!

Yep, xlabel and xpopup are the best ways to do something like that - quasi-infinite configurability. ;)

Thanks guys,
Hope I can offer a theme one day that other dummy's can help forward in the dewindownizing of the world ;-)

Well, this isn't dewindownizing (that was a scary word) but it's at least deexplorernizing.
