lol kool desktop

btw, you wouldnt by any chance know how to get rid of the virtual desktop stuff on the taskbar in the austerity theme would you? i been looking for a long time to get rid of it to free up some space for my taskbar.

[ripken204]

i havnt seen that desktop but im sure i could, i also see spazmire11 looking at this thread too, he's my "teacher" for litestep.

[prx984]

lol, k, thanks im gonna keep looking. i just need to get rid of it so i have some more taskbar space. it gets crowded with 4 windows opened lol

[ripken204]

well look through step.rc and any other files that is *.rc , then search for vwm (Virtual Window Manager) and delete anything you can find about it. but first make a backup of your litestep folder.

[prx984]

thats what its called? good, now at least i know what im looking for lol, thanks! im on it right now.

ok i just removed all the vwm stuff i could find in theme.rc, and now im gettin a ton of errors lol.

here they are:

Variable "VWMsWidth" not defined.

Expression: *Shortcut "Browser/im" $VWMx+VWMsWidth$ -48 icons\browser1.png icons\browser2.png icons browser3.png #0Ox ["$Browser$"]["$IM$"]

Error 2 (x6)

Variable "VWMsWidth" not defined.

Expresion: $VWMx+VWMsWidth$

[ripken204]

delete that shortcut.

and delete that addition crap. this is all just variables for it.

[prx984]

where would they be, in the theme.rc file?

Edited August 8, 2006 by Cygnus

[ripken204]

look in all of the *.rc but its most likely in taskbar.rc or base.rc

[prx984]

k, i looked through the base.rc file and taskbar.rc file, i deleted everything to do with vwm in base.rc, taskbar had nothing in it. im still getting the same error, but it looks like a step in the right direction though. my quicklaunch icons though are moved over to the left and under my main menu button. heres a screen shot of what i mean.

if we cant get it, we cant get it. thats ok, you know of any good themes that have very little use of the total desktop space? lol

[Camarade_Tux]

You can perfectly get it.

Ho, weird, I got 30 minutes with nothing to do.

And I LOVE Litestep.

[ripken204]
