I have two monitors, they are set up and worked for the most part until I installed Litestep.

I can move windows over to the second monitor and open programs in it just fine, but they won't stay there or even stay visible.

If I have my email open on the second monitor and I'm finished with it but don't close the window, and click to the main desktop, it disappears! I can't get it back now matter what I try. About 30 minutes later of it's own accord it pops back into view.

I also am running Miranda as my messenger and it usually auto loads on the second monitor where I want it, but on occasion, say for instance..I try to open a chat with someone..it will bounce back to the main monitor on top of everything and wont go back. If I click on the second desktop to attempt to get it to return, it too ..disappears..

also..my object dock refuses to stay visible all the time as well...

Disable the VWM in the theme you should be ok.

open the theme.rc with notepad and look for line that says

*netloadmodule modulenameVWM.dll
Place a comment in front of it like
;*netloadmodule modulenameVWM.dll

Litestep will not parse any lines that start with this symbol
So the module does not load...

If you want to try a theme that was designed around dual monitors
I would suggest Obsidian

my husband uses that theme , I like it but it's just too bulky for my taste...right now i'm using simpledark >> http://chiwou.deviantart.com/art/SimpleDark-2-0-57852508


when I open my theme.rd file it says that the instance of VWM cannot be found O.o
