Question #1: In Simplicity i've enlarged the are where the icons are but i still would like smth else: if i press the "window" button on my keyboard or whatever it's name is (between ctrl and alt) i'd like to see the properties of the selected icon. How do I do that?
Question #2: is it possible to combine the same bttn with ex: "D" key to minimize all windows c'ause I miss that from the old windows way. how can do it?
please do tell if you know.
Don't know Simplicity. So, I don't really know what you want to do with the WIN key. But...
- You always need another key (not only WIN, TAB, or whatever key) to make hotkeys works.
- Since !MinimizeWindows doesn't seem to work with lastest Indiestep builds, you have to use Tasks.dll as your tasks manager. So, !TasksMinimize will minimize all windows.
- The problem with !TasksMinimize is that all windows (on every desktops) will be minimized. To avoid this, you have to use !VWMToggleHideTask
- Finally, somthing like this could help you:
*HotKey WIN D !Execute [!VWMToggleHideTask][!Pause 250][!TasksMinimize][!Pause 250][!VWMToggleHideTask]
one more question.
1. i'll add the example you told me to the suggested_hotkeys.rc in the config folder
2. i copy the dll to the modules folder and add a line in the step.rc to tell litestep that the tasks.dll is an active module.
problem: it don't work. i mean it won't even load the shell nomore. what to do or what to do different in case i'm doing smth wrong.
i made it work.
now... how can i get rid of those icons on the top left of my screen? i already have a taskbar and i don't need them.
there's a module called showdesk.dll which makes that Win+D thingy a bit easier.
Try ilmcuts' tip (I didn't know showdesk) or add TasksStartHidden somewhere in your step.rc
smurth man... how do you know so much?
what's your favorite shell?
I have read all the docs and test a lot. That's all.
My favorite shell ? Litestep, of course (or do I misunderstood the question ?)
You should try the ilmcuts' tip. He knows what he's talking about... more than I do...
litestep shell?
my installer that i got form the net has the simplicity shell and i've downloaded a few form the net but none called just litestep. so could you give a link?
what theme do you like best... hehehe :)
My owns...
Themes usually comes with nice gfx, but only few take advantage of the power of Litestep modules (RabidVWM, Literunner, WndMan...)
*sighs*
Simplicity is the theme written by Omar Hussain. The shell you are using is called LiteStep.
