Using litestep with DO8

Help & Support
1

I'm using a litestep theme (winFCE) and it looks great when using DO8 but the trouble is i can't run links to special directories from litestep to open in DO8 .. for example:

an internal litestep environment variable $controls$ is transformed to ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

which is just a link to the control panel. Now if i paste the above link in DO it works great.. but if i run the variable (or infact the link) from lxcommand window or as a link or anything it doesn't open anything .. with some links (such as variables that contain the location of litestep home directory) it opens a DO window pointing to like drive C: or some random directory..

does anyone have any hints on using DO with litestep ? or a way that i can integrate opening unstructured directories under DO ?

Sencerely,
Paul

If I paste

::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

(without the space at the end which seems to be in your post -- not sure if that's significant or not)

into the Location field in Opus it does go to Control Panel for me.

I've never used LiteStep though so I don't now if there's a way to make things work for you.

ye i said it works great inside DO .. but the fact is i can't run those links outside DO :frowning: .. unfortunate that no1 knows how to do it ..

Assuming LiteStep does a ShellExecute call on the links it should "just work" provided LiteStep actually does that, and doesn't break the ShellExecute API.

One thing to check, though: Go to Preferences / Miscellaneous / Explorer Replacement and select Replace Explorer for all folders if it isn't already.

If it is already like that, try the opposide, replacing it for all but Control Panel (or for all file system folders, which should also exclude Control Panel).

Hopefully one of those will be compatible with LiteStep.

PS: Nice kittie. :slight_smile:
