I am new to Litestep and I'm really enjoying it so far, except for one little problem I have. If I am using a window and I click on the taskbar icon for another window that is minimized, it brings the new window to the front of the screen as I expect it to. When I try to click the taskbar icon for the original window, it won't bring that to the front (unless I minimized it before showing the new window). This is bothersome considering I am used to my previous shell always bringing the window to the front. Is there anyway to make a window always come to the front when you click it's taskbar icon? Thank you.

Everything depend on the theme you're using and the way taskbar modules have been used...

Thanks for the response, Smurth. I am using a slightly modified Elegance-16. I opened step.rc and found that it is using Tasks.dll for the taskbar. After a few searches, I found the documentation: http://jugg.logicpd.com/software/tasks/readme.htm . I looked through it, but I didn't see anything that looked like it would help. Can anyone familiar with this module help me? Or maybe an experienced Litestep user can look at the documentation and help me do what I want. It seems possible that I might need to use another Taskbar module. If so, can anyone suggest one that will display windows as I want them? Thanks for any help.

try adding "TasksNoMinimizeOnClick" if it's not already there, it seems to modify left-click behavior. If that doesn't help remove TasksUseSystemHook if it's used.

Neither of those worked. I'm getting kind of used to minimizing applications now, but I'll still appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Try to find if a line like this exist
TasksMButton1 !...
If it exist, comment it (put a ";" at the begining of that line).
If this doesn't work; I don't know. Does it happen always or only when switching to windows on different desktops ?

There is no line like that. I've basically messed with everything in the Tasks section of the step.rc file. I don't think this is something that can be fixed.

yah...its a bug in taskbar3. try switching to tasks.dll...never had any problems like this there.

but that's what he said he's using!
I tried out the standard Elegrance-16 theme and I'm not having your problem. Clicking on tasks, no matter their state, brings them to the front. How have you modified it?

Smurth brings up a good point at the end of his last comment. Does it have anything to do with whether the tasks are on different desktops?

my problem has gone away...hrmmm...strange...

I want text shadows in Tasks 0.93. :P :]

Last night, I noticed that my problem was gone. When I woke up this morning, it was still functioning properly. I rebooted and it's still working fine. I have no idea what changed between now and a few days ago, but at least it's working. I think the step.rc file is the same as when I started. Well, thanks for all the help. Hopefully it'll continue working how I want it to work.
