LiteStep.net Forums

I'm new to Litestep, but loving it so far.
I just have a few quirks at the minute, it would be fine but I'm kind of a perfectionist and the littlest things that aren't the way I like/want get at me.

So anyways I'm using this theme: http://customize.org/litestep/themes/53279

I'm not sure whether my problems are realted to litestep or specifically to the skin.

1. There is a feature where if you click the right end of the taskbar all the active systray icons are shown. But upon relogging my account it resets to them not being shown. Is there a way to get them to be shown all the time rather than having to click the taskbar whenever I log in?

2. While using msn and a conversation window is minimized, it doesn't flash when messaged when like using explorer. I've googled about and the only solution I cam across was using different versions of xtaskbar, but I've tried that and it doesn't seem to work.

3. This is probably something easy I'm missing, but how do you edit the right click menu to add your own shortcuts.
For example:
> My Computer
> My Documents
> Mozilla Firefox
> etc...

Sorry for the hassle if these are simple things, but I've looked around and can't seem to find anything so I've came to the official forums. Thanks in advance for any help, much appreciated.

1) Yes...you can code it that way. Should be too hard of a change really.

2) What taskbar module and version is the theme using?

3) In your personal folder you will find a popup.rc. My Computer is there by default under the System menu I believe. My Documents you would have to add. And I can't remember if this is default or not but I have a "Shortcuts" folder which uses the OTS2 default evars.

Any tips on how I'd go about coding it to do that?

Not sure which module you're looking for so here's all that are loaded by default with the skin:

; LOADED MODULES

*NetLoadModuleSite "http://www.modules.ls-universe.info/modules/"

*NetLoadModule xpaintclass-1.0
*NetLoadModule xstatsclass-1.0
*NetLoadModule mzscript-1.0.1
*NetLoadModule jdesk-0.73
*NetLoadModule xpopup-2.0.3
*NetLoadModule dynamp-0.51
*NetLoadModule xlabel-4.0.9
*NetLoadModule xtaskbar-2.0.5
*NetLoadModule xhotspot-0.1.1
*NetLoadModule xtray-2.0.2

NetLoadModuleOnLoad !NetUnloadModule .

^ I think that's what you meant ^^

..and how do I go about editing the popup.rc file?
If I try to access it manually I get an access denied.
If I try "Right click > Litestep > Edit Config > Personal Files > Popup" nothing happens =/

1) Take a look at the code used to show the system tray from the taskbar and you should be able to go from there. Might be as easy as setting the Systray to be visible on start.

2) Read the Docs for xtaskbar-2.0.5 on how to make things blink.

3) Open Notepad and edit the file. You associated .rc files with LiteStep and LiteStep doesn't do anything with them so you get an access denied.

There's a file in: C:\LiteStep\profiles\Wayne\themes\SimpleDark\config called 'taskbar.rc' with the following code:

; ______________________________________________________________________
; TASKBAR CONFIG

xTaskbarX "$ClockWidth$"
xTaskbarY "$ClockY$"
xTaskbarWidth "$-xTaskbarX-TrayShowWidth$"
xTaskbarHeight "$GlobalEntryHeight+20$" ; dont forget the shadow ;)

xTaskbarImage "taskbar\BG.PNG"
xTaskbarImageEdges 12 12 12 12
xTaskbarAlphaMap true

xTaskbarAlwaysOnTop false
xTaskbarBorders 0 0 10 10

xTaskbarActiveFontColor "$ActiveFontColor$"
xTaskbarActiveButtonPaintingMode ".image"
;xTaskbarActiveButtonImage "taskbar\ACTIVE.PNG"
xTaskbarActiveButtonImageEdges 0

xTaskbarHoverFontColor "$HoverFontColor$"
xTaskbarHoverButtonPaintingMode ".image"
xTaskbarHoverButtonImage "taskbar\HOVER.PNG"
xTaskbarHoverButtonImageEdges 0

xTaskbarPressedFontColor "$PressedFontColor$"
xTaskbarPressedButtonPaintingMode ".image"
xTaskbarPressedButtonImage "taskbar\PRESSED.PNG"
xTaskbarPressedButtonImageEdges 0

Anything in there that's disabling or stopping the tabs to flash/blink?

I think you need to define a xTaskbarFaslhingButtonImage...I think.
