LiteStep - IndieStep

Sunday, August 11, 2002 by Hexxon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I really want one of those IndieStep skins, but I don't know how to upgrade to IndieStep. Can someone walk me through, or give me a link to some fairly simple instructions?

This is the method I use, I have ShellOn to reboot to explorer when need be:

1. BACKUP YOUR LITESTEP FOLDER!!!!
2. Reboot to explorer.
3. Unzip the new build into your Litestep folder, say "Yes" to any file it wants to overwrite.
4. Reboot to Litestep.

Any problems you can always go back to your old setup because you BACKED UP YOUR LITESTEP FOLDER!!!!

I back up so I don't cry in front of the kids, gets them worried.

Listen to jcg...

If you're like me, you'll have more than one 'LiteSTEP' folder anyway.
With the advent of OTS and my manic conversion of all my themes to the standard, I've whittled my dozen or so LS folders [separate complete shells] down to just two...
C:\Litestep\ [a 300 meg configured set of 13 inter-linked themes...that's taken years to 'tweak']
and
C:\Lite-Test\ [my OTS-compliant setup with 17 themes, 13 of which are mine]

It's easy enough to add more to the OTS 'set', or alternatively just add another complete folder for a non-OTS theme.....provided you have ShellON to help you get around..
