DarkOS BY Shawn Duncan (eGarage) shawnduncan@altavista.net A.Description B.Installation C.Credits Description: This theme was ceated with two very valid suggestions in mind.The first came from a few posts at some of the shell sites about the need for more documentation for new users.So what I`ve done is created a web page which has every line of the step.rc and console options used in this theme taken apart and explained.You can get to the page by using the custom button with the question mark icon. The second suggestion comes from the post in the Darkstep digest by none other than Bob Wells, in which he laid out what I agree is a simple, usable standard for theme distribution.To this end,this theme and installation is (if I understood correctly) fully "Wells standard" compliant. Installation: 1.Back up your step.rc and modules.ini files.Do it and do it now! 2.Take the step and modules files from this theme and place them in your Darkstep dir. 3.Put the folder named "Darkos" in C:\Darkstep\Themes\ 4.Put the contents of the folder named "Modules" in, yep you guessed it, C:\Darkstep\modules dir. *NOTE* If you already have these modules and don`t want to overwrite them,Bob Wells also suggested in the post to rename them to include version number.(Just don`t forget to reflect this in your Darkstep configuration) 5.Throw the .wav file in your Darkstep dir. 6.In this .zip are two .reg files.One for win98 and the other for win2k/NT.Just right click on the one that matches your system and choose "Merge". 7.Restart your box. 8.O.k. now that your up and running, lets see about those extra buttons. Up top is a shortcut to open the step.rc. Scroll almost to the bottom.You will see a section named "Custom buttons". The first thing you`ll want to change is where it says "Not Defined".Change this to describe what action the shortcut will do(IE,Notepad,etc.). The second thing to change is at the end of each entry. Where it says "!none" change it to whatever action you like (!about,!Banglist,etc.) The box starts out hidden and can be toggled using the "Hide Show custom buttons" to the right of the window manager.

Bob Wells.For his constant work in bringing us all the best in Darkstep news and info as well as his ideas on standardizing theme layouts. All the hyper-clever module coders. I never really appreciated the amount of work involved in shell/module building untill I picked up a few books on C/C++ at barnes & Noble. You guys ROCK.
