wtf, i used to love litestep. but put it down for a few months, now even after reformating, things never work properly.
After using lsinstaller2.1, ill update the build using the most recent one 'ILS-2003-02-09.zip'. NO OTHER THEME WILL LOAD EXCEPT THE WORTHLESS SIMPLICITY THEME THAT CAME WITH THE INSTALLER.
im on Win2k, new comp. i created a seperate user just for ls, and installed only on that user. ive checked the registry, everythings fine. wtf can this be?! im extrememly frustrated cause there are some NICE themes that i wanna use but cant... please help
sounds like you didn't setup the themes properly as per OTS. Read the OTS docs and you should be good to go.
What happens when you try to load another theme?
Go to
http://www.charliehamster.co.uk/litestep.html and download the patched LSTS. That should fix most problems with OTS themes that come without a proper .thm file.
DeV: I know I (and probably a few others) pointed this out in several other threads already, but I can't seem to find any of them. Using the search function with the keyword "LSTS" only brings up a couple of other posts. Does the problem with disappearing threads still exist? Sadly I can't really confirm this issue since there's no way to search for all posts I have made so far, but I'm positive that the word (or abbreviation, whatever) "LSTS" was used each time...
there are a bunch in the Themes section under "LSTS"
there are exactly two. none i have posted in, and none that mentions the patched LSTS...
sorry...try "Theme Selector"...100 results.
when id try to load another theme, nothing would load. Litestep is still running in my tasks 'ctr alt del', but its as if nothing has loaded. completely blank screen.
i have to goto classes now, but ill give those ideas a try. thanks for the help.
Heres what i bet the problem is. Open LSTS. Select one of your themes and go to edit settings. Click the button labeled "..." next to step.rc. Find the actual step.rc for that theme. Press OK. Load the theme.
Mr. White: That should not be necessary with the fixed LSTS, it's exactly what that "fixed" refers to ;)
well that solved a few themes, i got LiteMMD to work etc. But now it comes down to the theme i want to use, Isotanium. When started up, the theme trys to load, but doesnt complete. i can see boxes where a task bar might load, but it then starts taking up like 80mb of ram, and slows everything down, sorta like an infinite loop somewhere in the theme. others have said it works though. Am i just the unfortunate one who cant use themes of this calibre?
no you're an unfortunate one who can't read documentation or figure things out for yourself.
try simplifying the problem:
1) unload all the modules
2) load them in one at a time
3) isolate the problem
lol ive been going at this for sometime otherwise i would not have asked. dont undermind me
