Breaker_...WB and LiteSTEP are two different entities. WB skins the Windows and the start menu....the latter is part of the Explorer shell....but LiteSTEP is a replacement for the Explorer shell so it itself is not skinned by WB....just the windows themselves are....

You don't even need matching skins. A nice blue skin and a blue LS theme, that aren't based on the same design, can go together.
Even mixing skins from various suites too.

The best advice anyone can give another concerning LiteSTEP is, read, read, read......... assume nothing, be sure you understand what's going to happen, before you install LS.

When you install, try to have win ME or higher on your pc...
I know it also can work on 98, but my machine (my server) chrashed 4 times on liteSTEP, till I installed win me.

That's backwards.
98 is more stable than ME.
But if you're running either, LS will improve stability on them both.
The only time it's not 'really' required is if you're on XP. Then it's only worth installing for it's worth as a functional utility, rather than a stable environment.

Thanks a lot Hippy, but im affraid i dont understand quite well what your trying to say here: "The only time it's not 'really' required is if you're on XP. Then it's only worth installing for it's worth as a functional utility, rather than a stable environment." Sorry but my official language is not english.
Im reading all the material related to LiteStep, as far as i see is more deep and hard that i expected. looking forward to adquire the enough knowledge and begin the installation.
For the record my OS is "Windows Xp Home Edition"THANX TO ALL AGAIN:)

What I mean is that on XP, the OS itself is very stable, so Litestep doesn't need to be installed in that capacity.
You'll find a lot of 98 and ME users switch to LS for it's stability over explorer.

Thanx HIPPY for xplain me again, but tell me something now...........if Xp OS is so stable what benefits ill get installing LiteStep besides the desire or wish of changing the appearence of my PC screen or interface ???????????
I mean if XP OS is so stable what are the good things im going to adquire trough LiteStep ??
My sistem is very stable at this moment and as i said before: "I dont format since november last year" I just want to change the interface or appearence of my PC thats the only interest i have, beacause i saw the screenshots of some LiteStep desktops and said to myself, i have to make my screen like that, besides changing the look of my PC i dont want anymore. So the final and concluding question would be.....¿ worth the effort installing LiteStep in my Xp Home Edition knowing that my only goal with him is to change the appearence of my desktop ?????

It does not only change the appearance, it also changes the entire interface. It can be very different from what you are used to. By default there is no Start Menu, no task bar, no system tray, no Windows-ish desktop with icons, etc. By adding so called modules LS authors can add functionality that they like. It may reduce memory consumption and on older Windows versions it may increase stability.
