You don't 'uninstall'....you just extract and copy the RC3 files into the Litestep directory and overwrite the older ones.....'RC3' stands for 'Release Candidate 3'....it's a beta....but then Litestep has always been a beta at one level or another....ever since I can remember.
Whenever 'playing' with shells....ALWAYS have an 'out'....a way that is tried and true to get you 'back' to Explorer as the shell....so you don't get lost in limbo....and swearing profusely at life at large....
I did think though...back in the b23 days that we'd at least go up by full points....b24...b25...etc...each time.....not be still at b26.7......six years later....

That was easy, I see the evars is where to change my short cuts.
And I see that I can change the screen size three different ways from what I see you posted above.
It's working good now. Thanks a million Jafo.
I should be able to figure the rest out from here. And in the future I will try not to type so spastic. I just lost my cool on this one. I just had to have it right.

To be honest....my themes are 'quirky' at best.
There are better themers out there ...
Main thing is to get the 'hang of it' and make your own.....that's what LiteSTEP [alternate shells] is all about....

Litestep.exe is installed to 'C:\Litestep\....that is where your existing shell is....with subdirectories for themes, etc.
the extracted files from RC3 do NOT have a step.rc or anything to do with configuring....you have all that already.
Just copy the entire Litestep directory and subdirectory....NOT MOVE.....to a temp file....just in case....eg....c:\temp\.
Then
copy [overwrite] the RC3 files.....to c:\litestep\ and you will be prompted with 'do you want to replace'?....say yes....and it's done....

| OK....check that every module loaded is the correct version as listed in my readme.txt file... |
I see the text file. But what exactly should be where? I want to double check it.
The default lite step theme works.

The remaining modules should be in the modulesdir (C:\Litestep\Modules\).
If your Litestep setup is missing any of those, you will want to download, unzip, and copy the modules into the corresponding directories (as per I mentioned above).
Syntax of the modules in the theme.rc is very critical.
If the loadmodule line asks for:
desktop2.dll
then you want just desktop2.dll, not desktop2-2.0
That is something to watch for. You can change the theme.rc to say desktop2-2.0 (if that is the module you have, and can't find the other)
But don't play with those loadmodules lines unless you have to.
