Hi Guys,

I experienced litestep for the first time, today. It took a bit to get used to it, but its getting better.
There are still two questions I found no answer to.
At first, whats up with this white box next to the "start menu"?

Its not a part of the wallpaper. It does definetely belong to litestep. So what is it and what is it used for?

Second, is there a possibility to minimize all programs and get to the desktop like the "back to desktop" button in "standard" windows?

thx in advance
yours forsi

The !minimizeWindows bang will minimize all windows and save their positions (just like explorer).

What makes you so sure that the box doesn't belong to litestep? (It would help to know what theme you're using)

no the box DOES belong to litestep.
Im using the "mire" theme.

I just got another question.
When I launch the "file manager" it opens windows explorer starting in "my documents". How can I chance it from "my documents" to "c:\" for instance?

Read the docs for the theme, and if it's not there, the comments. That box is the VWM, but not made properly.
