Hi, i have a new problem, i dont know if the problem is for the theme (that i have using now), or some module or other thing, this is the problem, in my desktop appear the icons, but i can't move it or rename, and if i have a lot of icons in the desktop only show two columns, and the other icons disappear, i dont know why, i ask you your help, for this case.

That depends on which desktop-module your themes uses. Try some more themes until you find one with movable icons then check how it works.

And remember to read the full documentation, LiteStep is very complex.

ahhh, ok it's all right, and then i would like to know if i can change the modules over that run the theme that i have, per a new or better that give me permission to move the icons.

Thanks you again.

Yes you can.

Depending on which modules you replace you may have to add or change configuration-options. You usually find the relevant options in the doc of the module you are using (litestep\modules\docs).

But you can start simply by exchanging the module-names in the *NetLoadModule-Lines in theme.rc, then see if it works.

for a example, if i am having now, the: icondesk 0.90 beta X, do i can change it for a new version?, icondesk 1.5x or 3.2, likewise other versions of the same module? (i think that the new version, will include this capacity). but this is not as i think, please tell me.

Or as you tell me, if i find a theme that have the capacity to move the icon's desk, i can copy its modules to the other theme directory and exchanging its names, like the default modules of the theme that i have, tell me.

Thanks you

IconDesk does not support draggable desktop icons. However, at the moment I am having a brain cramp and can't tell you which one does.

Burro123: you want to change a theme. That means you'll have to dig in deeper and figure out how modules are inserted and configured. You have been given some ideas on where to start, now go for it.

Find the icons module and comment it out (put a ; infront of the line).

Add in the following at the bottom of the theme.rc:

*NetloadModule clickonic-1.0.4

*Clickonic dt

dtFolder ".desktop" ;change to "$desktop$" to display folder only, and no sys icons.

dtX 20
dtY 40

dtWidth $ResolutionX$
dtHeight $ResolutionY$

dtFontColor FFFFFF ; change depending on wallpaper color
;dtExplorerDesktop true ; uncomment for windows right click menu

Recycle Litestep (ctrl+alt+r).

Then, go in to the \LiteStep\modules\docs\clickonic-1.0.4 folder and double click on the Clickonic.chm to understand what's going on, and what else you can change.

i'm going to prove.

ok, i don't know if i don't understand fine, but i did add this lines to the bottom of theme.rc and save, but when i press ctrl+alt+r, and after i go to \LiteStep\modules\docs\ i don't find any directory that name clickonic, i dont know if i'm doing some bad, tell me please. and sorry for don't answer before, but i was pass my exams on the U(this is the reason).

Thanks you

Did you have icons on your desktop? What theme? Did you comment out a desktop icon module that it may have been loading? Are you able to download modules when loading a new theme?

yes, i have icons in my desktop, but i can't move them, i have now a Gnome Theme, the module that i know(if is this), the icondesk 0.90, and yes i'm able to download.

Thanks
