Hey all!

I just installed the Omar Litestep installer and I found the theme GlowVista v1 most desirable on my GFs computer, home at my computer I still use BlackBoxLean. The one big question is: how do I change/edit the shortcutkeys? In BBLean its quite easy but in Litestep I just cant find it ;) The only shortcut keys I want is the Windows button to get the menu up, like in BBLean.

Stick this in one of the personal files (hotkey.rc prob is most suitable):

jKeyLWinKey "!Popup"

You'll want to check out the modules directory. You'll find all sorts of docs archived there from loaded (and previously loaded) modules. Except for jkey... hrmm. You can get the zip with the docs for jkey here.

Also, if you're planning on making hotkeys, jKeyUseHotkeyDef is defined in the personal.rc, so use the prefix *Hotkey, not *jKey. (That'll make more sense when you read the docs.)

Ok, thanx for helping me!

Got it working now :) It takes half a second for it to open tho, can I make it appear right away like in BBLean?

Someone didn't read the docs like they were supposed to. First, punish yourself by not eating any dessert the next time you have dinner.

jKeyLWinKeyTimeout 0

(That will of course make the popup appear immediately, but you may not want that if you use a lot of winkey + some key type hotkeys. If you don't, you won't care.)
