old lite step theme don't work with new lite step .exe?

from WinCustomize Forums
i was digin through sum old disks and found Doodle Bug's Turtle SoupII L.S. theme..(still my fave ) i ran the old exe and all was ok .. then i tried the new installer with the lsts .... the new lite step found the old theme but when i run the theme it seems to load ok except the images ... it finds the aliases but not the actual images so even tho the popups and stuff are there i cant see them.......ive checked the step rc and all paths are correct and im not getting any non loaded modules errors...any ideas ?

Doodle's theme was/is quite old....24.4 or there abouts....and also not set up for OTS.....also many of the included modules would probably be out of date for the newer exe.....when you get adventurous and try to 'update' an old theme you will discover quite often there is a lot of frustration to be had.....even when I update my own I find real dramas....

ONe quick thing you could check in the step.rc

The path to the image folder used to be called PixMapPath
That term is no longer recongnized by the Litestep.exe

Change PixMapPath to LsImageFolder and see if that helps.

Phil is right, of course [Phar0e]....and I had it converted to OTS.....can't find it now, though....

Actually DX should be burned. LiteStep is AWESOME!

How many more can we LiteSteppers take down to the dark side with us?

u all are silly i run litestep and all the stardock extras ...the standard shell, even skined is way to boring ...i wish stardock would make a skinnable shell replacement too.. id use it ....the transparencies in L.S. are just the coolest and i can acess my system with a rt clik any where on the desktop...and doodle bugs turtlesoupII theme was the reason i tried lite step all those years ago........
