okay, so i'm playing around with this theme a little bit...

two things so far:

1. when i try using the keyboard shortcut for ie, alt-back, to go back a page...it switchs windows, or minimizes the current window. how can i fix this?

2. can i change the clock to am/pm format, as opposed to 24hr time?

oh yeah!...how about a replacement for "alt-right"?:p

[edit]

i think i found this stuff in the suggested_hotkeys.rc file located in litestepthemesrhodiumedgeconfig directory.

i tried putting a ";" before the statements (to void them), but it didn't work

[/edit]

[edit2]

GOT IT!!!

it's in litesteppersonalhotkey.rc

i changed these two lines:

------------------------------

;*Hotkey ALT LEFT !VWMMoveApp Left

;*Hotkey ALT RIGHT !VWMMoveApp Right

------------------------------

wow, i'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out how the whole theme works.

i'm searching through the rc files and folders.

anyway, i found in the label.rc file in litestepthemesrhodiumedgeconfig the time settings.

the current format is:

TimeLabelText "[date('ii')]:[date('nn')]"

i'm also looking through the documents...but i can't find all the variables that the rc files use.

arhra, where can i find them?

thanks for the kickass theme!

if i could invision themes as well as you, i would love to give it a go.

soopah: the clock is done using label.dll, so look in $themedir$modulesdocs and read label.txt. to make life easier for you (since label is capable of a hell of a lot, and hence has a rather huge readme ;) ), the section you're looking for is "Text Escape Sequences", and the section below that which explains the date format parameters.

i'd recommend reading the whole thing, though, since label is a very cool module, and you can do some really nice stuff with it (it's also responsible for the cpu/ram / uptime / date display just to the right of the vwm).

actually, read /all/ the readmes, if you really want to understand what's going on with the theme :) and feel free to rip it apart and change things, it's the best way to figure out how it all works...

thanks arhra,

you've been the biggest inspiration for me in my many attempts to learn litestep (ever since turtle soup III by doodlevision, but that wasn't nearly as cool as rhodium edge).

maybe if i scrounge up enough time and patience in the future, i can try to make my own theme.

you're so awesome!:p ;) :D

arhra, you made the msstyles one right? (too many posts to look through) well, I'm using the organe color scheme and the taskbar and such doesn't match the title bar with the dark gray and orange. I'm curious if you could change the blue (#AGA9D7) to #5F6062 (the color next to the orange which is that dark gray color). (Also change anything else that is #AGA9D7 to #5F6062 or another color that matches the color scheme).

or if someone else made it, could you do that? thank you if so. I would appreciate it a lot.

Alright, I thought he was.

And arhra, another thing I found which probably could be posted already or you know about, when you maximize the orange scheme, it shows up as the blue theme. Sorry if you know this already or someone posted about it :(

When do you expect a new version?

as i've said before, the orange is barely started atm, i'm waiting until i've finalised the design of everything before i start doing colour variations. the blue is nearly finished now, and when it is, i'll start finishing off the orange (which shouldn't take too long, since i only have to recolour things in photoshop, rather than actually thinking about the design).

oh, and IT'S NOT ****ING PURPLE.

arhra, Is there a way to fix the scrollbar? (screen shot below) I'm not sure, I'm just asking because it looks messed up to me and annoying since it's small (it happens when lots of text gets filled up say in an AIM IM Window, and some other applications.) If you get what I'm saying....

I think that the start button really needs improvement. no need for 'start' to be there, just some sort of logo/button for Rhodium...perhaps a blue/purple button that looks neat on mouseover.....

Anyway, I'd do it myself, but i'm not an artist such as Arhra. :sleeping:

Arhra, if you choose to do this, maybe have it like this in the list:

blue with start

blue w/o start

orange with start

orange w/o start

incase some people don't like what you change the start button too, just a suggestion if you go that way.
