Help with LiteStep
Tuesday, May 21, 2002 by chaos757 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I saw all these cool skins for LiteStep, so I decided to give it a try. Needless to say, when I installed it, I rebooted and found a pretty weird GUI. It would be GREAT if only it would show my desktop items!!!! Is there any way to do this with LiteStep?
P.S.
I think I might have downloaded an older version since LiteStep's main page is gone. Does anyone know where i can get the newest version?

Go to Shellfront.org and check out the get Litestep box. The OTS v2 installer is a good one that contains a recent build of litestep combined with a very good installer.
After it's installed and you have a theme installed you like, you could add a module called icon.dll. It will place your desktop icons, back on the desktop. You can find this modules at shellfront as well.

LiteSTEP doesn't have a 'main page'....but depending on the step.rc coding, you 'can' see the desktop shortcuts, but you'll need to do some editing.
It's important to note ...VERY important....that LiteSTEP is A SHELL, not a skin...it doesn't hide 'explorer', it REPLACES it...that is why A. it looks good, and B. it doesn't show the typical icons and start bar...
