im running winxp and was just wondering how do i have different themes for multiple users...

cause it switches to the theme used by last user logged on...

i heard you have to include some code in $litestepdir$step.rc but i don't know the code...

can any string whorers help ?

I think he actually meant post whore...but das ok. :) As for the multiple user thing...there is another thread on it that covers it well.

yeah i found the thread

http://www.litestep.net/index.php?section=4&action=view&catId=1&id=815&hl=different

and it worked perfectly (you guys are the best!)
but LSCP/LSTS rips apart $litestepdir$step.rc completely =P

i used the include "$litestepdir$$username$\step.rc" command

It would be much easier to edit the registry entry in 2K/XP to give fixed themes. Or...if you want to do it you can mess around with mzScript and TextEdit to do it in a popup so ppl can change themes.

hmmm
i've tried everything now and my conclusion is...

having multiple instances of litestep for each user is the best...

cause they can have their own shortcuts, also if they screw up their copy of litestep it wouldnt affect you :)

thanx for all the help
dis forum rocks!
