      I tried it, but didn't really like it. It's cool at first, but limits the use of the desktop and such. To truly customize it you have to assume and learn a bit about how to change the configuration files for certain themes and stuff [but most of it is text-based and easily editable in notepad once you understand the structure and way Litestep is operated, which doesn't take long.] I haven't had any problems with it, and explorer is restorable in a few steps. http://64.65.12.73/litestep/ seems to be the easiest to obtain it from (auto-installer and all), and has a few resources to help you out.

      http://64.65.12.73/litestep/faq.html answers most of your questions here.

          I installed it, and now its so horrible, I need to take it off! Not simple either, coming from someone who knows "enough" about computers. It seems to disrupt many programs. No me gusta..

              well i installed it, and it seems to work so far, but im still trying to get used to it. i got LSD4P, and it has a uninstaller, so if i wanna take it off i can.no i gotta find a good skin....i got this one skin that screwed it up, so i had to restart.

                  It works great ONCE YOU GET IT SET UP. Extreme emphasis intended. It can be a real pain the the rear escape hatch to get running correctly.

                  By the way, irbodden, it shouldn't conflict with any programs once you get it set up. Its just a GUI, not an OS :-)

                      You can break your entire system if you install it improperly, IE: you can set it up in such a way that it completely breaks your shell and you have to reinstall. I did this on the weekend, got it working after the reinstall and rather like it.

                          can someone tell me how to change the background? im using the skin chaos, and i put the pic i want in the bg directory, but the wallpaper changer thing at the top wont go to it, so is there a way i could do it manually?

                              Actually, mykroft, all you should have to do is edit system.ini to fix that kind of problem. I don't see how you should have to reinstall windows...
