Ok....first off your ModulesDir don't mean jack if themeDir isn't set. First add:
themeDir $LiteStepDir$themes\whatever-the-folder-name-is-this-step.rc-is-in\


Then try adding:
LoadModule $LiteStepDir$PopUp2.dll
PersonalDir $LiteStepDir$personal\
include $PersonalDir$personal.rc

I think that'll at least get you a popup.

And you do realize you need to put things after the commands, like:
CommandX 1
CommandY 1
CommandWidth 300
CommandHeight 20

yeh, i didn't put the numbers in cause i wanted the defaults
though, it still doesn't show anything?

and the popup thing doesn't pop up anything?

Defaults? There are no defaults. You have to put numbers after it.

like what it says in the docs

CommandX [X CO-ORDINATE] The horizontal co-ordinate of the Command Box's screen position.
Default: 0

CommandY [Y CO-ORDINATE] The vertical co-ordinate of the Command Box's screen position.
Default: 0

CommandWidth [NUMBER] Sets the width of the Command Box, in pixels.
Default: 160

CommandHeight [NUMBER] Sets the height of the Command Box, in pixels.
Default: 20

Guess I'm wrong. Man....I need to RTFM. I never started a theme from scratch, so I can't really help ya. I think it'd be easier to take someone elses step.rc and edit for your own uses.

Ok I figured this out. First off edit your step.rc and use this:

;Litestep Start.rc file
;First theme

ThemeName "First Theme"
ThemeAuthor "PODNickerz"

ModulesDir $themeDir$Modules\

LoadModule $LitestepDir$desktop2.dll
LoadModule $LitestepDir$command.dll

CommandX
CommandY
CommandWidth
CommandHeight


Now I used this and switched to the them using LSTS and it didn't work. I wondered why...here's the kicker. Open LSTS and highligh whatever your theme is named. Now click on edit settings on the right. Where it says step, click the ... on the right and find your step.rc. Press OK run your theme and it should work. Hope this helps.

The defaults are used if you don't list the commands at all. If you put the command in with nothing after it, I don't know what it does, it might take everything to be 0.
