As for LS uploads...generally they take a while to create....often more complicated than a Windowblinds skin...and so will be fewer and less frequent.
I have 3 or 4 on 'the go' at the moment but they may not even ever see the light of day.....time will tell...

I've had trouble when I try to open drives from "My Computer" or even folders within the C drive. The window locks up, and the Windowblind reverts to Windows Classic look. I try reloading the theme, but nothing happens. If I try to revert to the default theme it locks up, when I open task manager I see Explorer.exe running. If I end that process, the window closes and I'm fine intil the next time I try to access a drive or folder on C.
I seem to remember reading someone else having the same or similar trouble, but I don't know if it was here or maybe at Litestep.net, which last I looked was still down.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, I've gone back to Explorer as my shell, since I can't get anything done with constant lockups.
Oh, it doesn't seem to matter what theme I'm using I've had it happen with three or four different themes.

tjesterb ...the problem you're having is that explorer [the shell] is loading when you want to really be using explorer [the file manager].
Firstly make sure you have 'set Litestep as shell' and rebooted....secondly to avoid this 2 shell conflict that sometimes happens...use a third party file manager such as Powerdesk....it's better than explorer anyway.
I can't say I remember how/what I have done not to have this conflict....I can run explorer [file manager] over LS without dramas....so it's possibly just one of 'dem things'...

I've done several LS themes, but am having a hard time getting permission for somethings. When all that comes through I'll upload them.

I've had the conflict using your Avenger and AntaresII themes, as well as a couple others made by other artists.

Some systray processes are linked closely to Explorer...and only show reliably within the Explorer shell itself....when you use a different shell they don't always appear as they 'should'.
Good test...try killing LS in Task Manager ...and reloading it again....and note how many systray icons have disappeared...

In the full version (it's not available in the trial) does the Sync utility allow you to synchronize folders across a network on two different computers in a batch mode. I ask this because I generally use a seperate utility to keep my CAD drawings from the office server "backed up" on my laptop which I work on evenings and weekends at home then go in and sync back to the server.

Litestep won't work on Linux....it is specifically an alternate Windows shell.
It would be just as easy to have Explorer work on Linux...
