csurfside... another way to tackle this, is to install a theme that I know works. Seeing as we are already here (wincustomize) grab my theme PixOffice from the litestep section. Install it the same way you described before. Let us know how it worked.
well, first things first; which version of litestep have you installed? That will determine the method needed to install themes.
For new users especially, I would recommend the Litestep distro called the "litestep Installer v3.02". You should be able to find it here: http://beyondconvention.net/ohussain/lsinstaller/ It is a very complete installer. It comes with an un-installer. It also puts an icon on your desktop called "set explorer as shell". If for some reason (??) you don't want to keep Litestep: Click on the "set explorer" icon. (do this first!) Then run the uninstaller (it's in the star
Ahhh, the old "mew". I can't argue that one
hmmm, didn't beat me by much Jafo
There is no problem running windowblinds while using Litestep. In fact the two can compliment each other quite nicely. Many Litestep themes are ports of Windowblinds skins. I currently use the two together (and have for many years running). I haven't used Objectdock so hopefully someone else can fill you in on that one.
There's a new release out from Seg@. That's Seg@ the Litestep module coder ;) It's the Litestep Control Panel. Patterned after the LSCP from the indiestep builds of a couple of years ago, the LSCP2 works with the newest builds of Litestep. It includes a theme installer\switcher. As well there are screens with various Litestep information such as loaded modules, available bang commands with the ability to add parameters, log files, and much more. I have installed this utili
I would imagine there is one common dilema software developers face regardless of the type of software they're creating. How can I pack as many features as possible into my software, without making it bloated? Litestep is no different and there is a current piece of Litestep software that has some people divided on the features vr bloat issue. Xlabel is a Litestep module that displays information usually in (on) a graphic. It is based on the original Label.dll by Maduin. Xlabel has t
Symax was updated and re-released today. The theme should be approved and available tonight on Wincustomize.com and Litestep.net. This is an update to make the theme OTS2 compatible. As well it was a chance to use the faily new modules xlabel in place of the old standard shortcut2. There are several benefits to doing this. Labels are dynamic, have much more fleibily in terms of creating resolution independent themes, and can different actions triggered by mouse-over and mouse-click even
I watched with much anticipation earlier this evening as Sarah of "The Screen Savers" spotlighted LiteStep. She correctly described it as a shell replacement and did a decent job of highlighting a few features. While her terminoligy (sp) may have been slightly off in places, I'm sure the viewers got the general idea. I wondered before hand, if issues of the past (ie: stability, theme installation, etc) would be dragged up again. A couple of years ago TSS reviewed LiteStep and w
Wow, pretty decent recommendation by Sarah. You don't get plugs like that every day. Woohoo for LiteStep.
Thanks for the head up mormegil. This I gotta catch. I remember a couple of years ago they mentioned Litestep, but at that time they considered it "not quite ready for primetime". Hopefully it fares better this time.
hmmm, well that's what it is, in Litestep. 255 0 255 or FFOOFF. What are you trying to use it in?
Setting up and creating my first blog was a snap. I can see this getting very addictive. Nice job on the site.
The litestep world has continually been challenged with the difficulties encountered by users downloading and installing themes. The greatest problem was the lack of a theme standard. A couple of years ago a standard called OTS was created by Omar and a team of experienced themers. This standard went a long way towards cleaning up third party themes and making installation easier for users. That said, installation was still a largely manual process and all themes contained the third pa
I"ll use this forum to post some Litestep news, releases, theme info, and the occational rambling (editorial). Consider it one persons' observations of the Litestep world, from the viewpoint of a Litestep themer.
Happy Birthday BoXXi
interestly, for those not in the know.... Rainlender started as and still is, a Litestep module
It's definetly in the Litestep community's best interest to support the Litestep section at Wincustomize. This is the one Litestep section on the internet I feel confident in it still being here in 6 months, 1 year, etc. Without an online themes presence Litestep would risk sliding into oblivion. So by keeping a Litestep section in it's current status, Wincustomize is helping tremedously. While activity in a given section is the main criteria for a section's status, perhaps it
Guess I better get the two LS themes I've been working on out the door quickly I would agree though that it is a slower time lately in the Litestep world. I will drop a mention on the Litestep mailing list though about those folks making better use of the section here. Hope you don't pull the pin on Litestep too quickly; it would be a shame to take it out of the "popular rotation".
hmmm, there used to be a tweak in the old builderblinds utility that had a setting for maximized windows, that I recall solved this problem many moons ago for me. I don't know if current versions of skin studio have this or not. I don't think that windowblinds has this setting in it's configuration screens. Hopefully a windowblinds guru can steer us in the right direction.

when will the new system be in effect?
