Help with Desktoparea Thread last updated on 2008-01-16 06:45:08

Hello, I just installed Litestep for the first time after using several other windows replacement shells before.
I downloaded a Mac Theme which I like a lot.
The only problem is, the desktoparea doesn't work properly, the whole screen including the taskbar is covered up. Since I am used to fullscreen my apps all the time, this is quite a problem.
SetDesktoparea is set correctly including SDALeft etc the the according values..
the theme is using desktop2-2.0.1
Why doesn't this work as intended?

ok...and do you have screenshots of the theme somewhere?

You could simply use another Desktop Module, nevertheless desktop2-2.0.1 should work without problems.
jDesk-0.73 (supported by OTS2) or xDesk-1.0 (you have to define your own DesktopClicks, but has proper MultiMonitor support and additional features).

I tried jDesk and it worked, but xDesk is even better since multimonitoring works without jumping windows. thanks for the help!

And how do the others not have proper multimonitor support?

I use jDesk and it conceals my stardock, and I got jDesk from a theme called dockbuddy :(.

When i Left Click on the Desktop, the dock hides. Systray and Rainlendar remains (which I find odd, because I didn't install rainlendar as a plugin for litestep). Any help?
