Litestep, Ya or na

Litestep is great.

I recommend you use it.

Easy to use (if you know what your doing) and tons of themes.



of only if only

If you use it, don't be a dumbass asking for answers to everything. Look for them. If you look in the documentation(which is in abundance), you'll easily figure it out.

if you like the look and the usability and don't often use programs that take up a lot of CPU/RAM then sure litestep is great.
but if you are a gamer then dont use it - it uses up resources.

uh... so does explorer, pokit. in fact, depending on the theme, litestep tends to be less resource-intensive.

if you like the look and the usability and often use programs that take up a lot of CPU/RAM then sure litestep is great, if you tune it not to hog your resources of course, which is easy. In fact, it is the main advantage of litestep: not to use your ressources (vs explorer which does not leave you any choice)...

Litestep only eats your memory if the theme you're using has a retarded amount of modules and images loaded.

My Litestep configs never use more than about eight megabytes of memory, and never soak up more than three percent of my processor time. I can't say the same for Explorer.

i used to run on a 1ghz athlon with 256 mb of ram and with litestep i had a considerably shorter boot time, and everything else on my computer ran generally faster. And here at customize, theres plenty of people that will help you out if you ask nicley

Definatly yes.

It is such an innovative interface. Look at Mojomonkee´s and Aero´s themes which are avaliable here. You won´t be able to navigate through your files and programs that easy and fast as you can do it with litestep.

In the beginning i switched back to explorer three times because i thought i am not able to use it. Now i won´t get back anymore.

If enfusion would finally release his aeroport litestep!

ya. litestep is sex for your computer.

"I shake my pickle at you, sir!"
...gear

i think this is gonna take some getting used to, but so far its awesome, thanks for the input guys :)

Actually, some gamers use Litestep to curb down the excess resources taken. If you have a Litestep theme with only the hotkey module loaded you'll have a bare-bone, slim lean-and-mean shell.

Also, I've to warn you that LS isn't exactly newbie-friendly. Will take some amount of free time (not too much) and tinkering (a lot) to get it to work the way you want it to :)

LOL Imrik, thinking about it. I stopped working on it already (been like 10 months already), right now it's quite half-baked, I'm thinking of polishing it up a little for release

If you want to we can help you out with the visual style and the skins. It´s such a beautiful suite... it would be a great pleasure to help you out ;)

And ... with explorer you´ll never have this

Litestep is nice....though its hard to find great themes unless you can make them yourself.

You will be doin a lot of searchin to get somethin really good. It took me about a month to find a theme I could actually use 100% and still looked really good on my screen.

And even then, I still changed the theme to match my own desktop images and personally liking.

And you have to find themes with low overhead if you have a computer thats not very fast...which kinda sucks, but litestep is definatly better than blackbox or object desktop(windowblinds)

To answer your question....Ya, litestep is worth it!

Plus, there is NOTHING better than rightclickin to a popup menu with everything you need to access right there! Beats the hell outta lookin for programs in all your folders!

And definatly check out Gears themes...They Are What's Up!!!

24 hours of searching for themes, nothing worth using so far :(

If that was a plea for help, it was incredibly pathetic.

If you're asking for some suggestions, gear, mojomonkee, and Aero make some nifty themes.

na, i found one. Its called 'illusion'

but theres somthing that doesnt work with the winamp song title name thing in the corner, it only works when it wants too

I have two machines, one running LiteStep and the other running BlackBox (xoblite). Both are beautiful. I think BlackBox is a little easier and 'n008 friendly' XD ...I like LiteStep more, tho.

Litestep will bring out the customizer in you. You will be tinkering and tinkering and tinkering... I got into hardcore desktop customizing (i.e., not just downloading skins and applying them) by making Litestep themes

OMG Imrik. That is a beautiful setup. I don't know there's nothing really there, but its very appealing.

Litestep, it's crashtastic.

Ha. That's funny.

In all likelihood, one of the modules in the theme you were using was crippling your system.

oops. that was a dumb comment. :/ I heard that explorer used up same ammount of resources even when LS is set, and lightstep just added more of a load. guess i was wrong.
