• I've instlled a Theme, but I can't see or do anything?
  Well, there are 2 possible mistakes:
  
  • Check if Litestep is running
    Press CTRL + ALT + F1, if Litestep is running, a menu will appear, if not, press CTRL + ALT * DEL -> TaskManager -> File -> Run New Task execute your Litestep.exe.
  • It's an OTS theme which issn't really OTS.
    Open your Browser (CTRL + ALT + F1 -> Run) and execute your default browser (or enter explorer,exe, it will also run the default windows file browser).
    Now go into your x:litestep\utilities\ folder and execute the LSThemeInstaller.exe and choose a theme you know it works.
    Otherwise open your Themes folder. There are 2 files in:

    - themeselect.rc
- themelist.rc


    in your Themeselect.rc:

    ;------------------------------------------------------------------------
; edit this evar to switch themes
;------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ThemeDir "$ThemesDir$Current_ThemeName\"

    Here you can change the theme you want to switch back by hand. replace the Current_ThemeName with the themename you want to. If you're not sure how the theme is named, open the themelist.rc where you can find all installed themes with their right names.
    Example themelist.rc:

    *Popup "Ghost" !execute ["$LiteStepDir$utilities\LSThemeInstaller.exe" /switch "Ghost"]

    Here is the current name "Ghost" Important: use the name behind the /switch string!!!




• How do I install a new Theme?
  Again there are 2 ways to install a theme.
  
  • LSThemeInstaller (absolutly required if the theme is OTS):
    Open your popup menu and choose in the Litestep folder the LSThemeInstaller, browser to the path where the *.zip or *.lsz file is placed an run it.
  • *.lsz files (Only with OTS2 Themes):
    You've downloaded a *.zip file which is an OTS2 theme, so rename the .zip into .lsz and doubleclick on it. It will install itself.
    Example:
    Ghost.zip -> Ghost.lsz

    Important Notice: Please be sure if in the zip file is the themefolder, and not a *.lsz file, otherwise it wouldn't work!!
