Third Party Modules
Introduction

Like virtually all Litestep themes, Ferix uses a combination of core modules and third party modules.

The Litestep Core Modules all come with included documentation.

The third party modules used in Ferix each come with a readme file that lists available commands to put in the step.rc. Some readme's also contain the module's author information, a changelog, and additional information. Click on the links below to view the specific modules readmes.

Third Party Module Readme's

The third party modules used in Ferix are:

Label

Dynamp

Tasks

Taskbar3

Lswchanger

Mzscript

Additional Third Party Module Information


Label is used in this theme to display time and date. Check out it's readme to discover the many other uses of Label.dll

The winamp controls are provided via the use of Dynamp. It will detect which version of winamp you have (2 or 3), and works with either version. Label provides the winamp text display. Be sure to set your winamp to "Scroll song title in the windows taskbar" for the label display to work correctly.

Lswchanger loads the included wallpaper with this theme, automatically detecting the correct screen resolution. If you'd rather not have this feature you can disable it quite easily. Open up the theme-step.rc and browse down a few lines to: "LoadModule $ModulesDir$lswchanger.dll". Just place a comment in front of the line like so: ";LoadModule $ModulesDir$lswchanger.dll" and save the step.rc. Recycle Litestep and the wallpaper module is disabled.

Tasks and Taskbar3 are used to display the open tasks. Which module is visible depends on which mode the top bar is in.

Mzscript is the premier Litestep scripting module and runs "behind the scenes", enabling advanced functions like the bar toggling.
