Artist's Note

This is the second release of my Requiem Litestep theme. Multiple changes and fixes have been made as listed here:

Theme colour changed to a dark gray instead of black.
Tray no longer distorts when icons are added or removed.
Power button on dock now opens an xlabel instead of gehrunnerjunge.
Removed command and replaced it with a multilabel.
Moved VWM closer to the corner.
Added more options in theme popup.

Also improved speed and efficiency of the code in many areas. Hope you enjoy it. feedback is always welcome.


Licensing: the artist has specified that ports and mods are allowed.

I like this theme a lot!

The only thing i would like is a taskbar and the clock to go behind a maximized window, because as it is now, it's blocking for the caption buttons.

Other then that, great work :)

@:Thomax: have you tried the shift-click options? There should be an option there to keep the clock off the top. As for a taskbar, I've thought about adding it, but didn't really feel like it would be necessary, what with alt-tab or middle click. Perhaps I could make the dock alternate between launcher-mode and taskbar-mode?

nsthreed, if he didnt include the wp in the zip, he didnt do anything wrong.
he only linked to the wallpaper, and as far as i know, thats perfectly legal.

this looks nice, btw.

@nsthreed: Oops, I thought I had read that notice more carefully than I did. I only saw the free for personal use and no commercial distribution part. would you like me to take it down? (I'm not entirely certain how to do that but...)

great updates. good work here.

@krulmagus: the preview is fine, leave it up. because you didn't include the wall in the actual theme itself, you've broken no rules.

Krulmagus says:

Oh... huh. Well I looked around and figured out how to replace screenshots so I did that already. I'm sorry for any miscommunication or problems this might have caused. (I'll definitely read more closely in the future!) Hope you all enjoy the theme.

Anyway, I got a new idea for a theme that could be really cool. So I'm going to stop developing this one for a while. See you soon.

I can't try it out now, but it looks interesting! Is the shutdown AMANA based?

Krulmagus says:

@noka: Yes. It's Bauhaus Medium BT.

@naalo: much of the code is modded from AMANA, The image, while not taken from the AMANA theme, was definately based on it when I designed it.

how can you enable the desktop? i see a desktop.rc which is included, but it wont show no icons. why is dat?

Krulmagus says:

@rapchee: I'm sorry, but I didn't add the capability for desktop icons in my theme. (I think they're messy.) If you want to add them you'll have to add a line to the desktop.rc. I've been away from my computer for a while so I can't check just what the line is, but as soon as I can, I'll get back to you on that.

@everyone else: thanks for the comments. After I get back from vacation, I will have a pretty cool (IMHO) theme up here that I'm rather proud of. see ya soon.

"module could not be located"

any help?

Krulmagus says:

@cpersi51: Oops. I just realized that I made a typo in the Theme.rc: NetLoadModuleSite. It can't download the modules you need if that is wrong. You need to open up theme.rc and make that site into an actual "http://"

Sorry about that, hope it fixes the problem.

Hi man, pretty nice work. Simple´n´beautiful. But you have forgotten about adding AlphaTransparency line in your "tray.rc". Beacouse of this Vistas don´t draw Alpha Channel. Be careful about it, may it´s in your other confs....
For dummies - my mended lines looks like this:
"!
xTrayAlphaMap
xTrayPaintingMode ".image"
xTrayImage tray.png
xTrayImageLeftEdge 20
xTrayAlwaysOnTop false
xTrayAlphaTransparency 255
!"
Have a nice day.

I would have put a dark gray background behind the vwm, and made it a little smaller to match the popup and other corners. Other than that it rocks!
