Artist's Note

Theme number 2 for me, this is for all those people who thought my original nIxStep was too green, so this is all blue... I'm working on new popups by the way, so yes I know they're ick. It's also designed to be a little easier to customize as well, as always mail me with comments/suggestions.

This is OLD and it still pop ups at the top of the list. It used to be nice but I don't think it even works now (OTS anyone?). Put it somewhere else plz or have the author update it!

This is an awesome skin but it makes my litestep crash when i mess with the popups P.S.> what windowblinds and winamp skins do you use with this?)

Avatar-50x50

Awesome theme. The graphics are smooth and rock, and everything is seamless. One question to everyone, where can I find a guide to customizing LiteStep since www.litestep.org is out?

Fantastic graphics, some of the most detailed out there! If you get some of the latest modules plugged in (easycuts especially to make the shortcuts groove and popup8) this could well be on it's way to reigning supreme.... also precurser's Cyclosys wallpaper makes another good background for it ;)

I use this theme right now! The graphics are really nice! And the shortcuts are optimized just as I wanted! Good job LenIx!!

Great looking! i ran litestep about 1 year ago, hated it, but it didn't look ANYTHING as good as this. I'm thinking of re-installing it now that i've seen this. Great job! also, if anyone could give me some tips for resizing it, email me at ian@3r33t.net

Freaky says:

98 cuz i prefer the predecessor, the wharfs are too simple for my taste... the one in nixstep looks much better... some tips for nixstep or nixblue users, its better to dock your system tray into the wharf so dat u can access programs like icq or getright faster... and 1 other thing Lenix, why didn't you include the blank .bmp files for the shorcuts when they are "off" when u include the ones that are "on"???

i love it but i like the other one i love green

Why for 1280x1024? running a narrow screen or something?
it's the opposite of widescreen >.

AnD says:

This is a very nice theme, you took in to account to make the menu's READABLE and understandable, unlike a lot of themes. The color scheme is relaxed, I also like the background with its data variables, very nice.

Avatar-50x50

Magnificent, the best Litestep theme I have seen yet, keep it up. You brought me back to Litestep, I hadn't used it in about 6months. One thing, ever tried some other modules(geekamp, incerner8, etc.) could have used the font, Arial just doesn't look quit right. Looking forward to more from you...

Hmm, maybe some one can help me outu here. I want to customize the menus in Nixblue (like add items Mirc, Aol instant messanger) I know i have to open up adobe or an art program and open up the blank button and just enter the words in. What i dont know is What font, fontsize, and color does the menus use so i can match them up exactly?????

Frogster says:

I find this theme to be easily customized, elegant and well implemented. The Wharf Bar is perfect, and I even added my own seamless images with ease. 98 because there're only 4 vw's...I like 9 so I made 'em. I work in 1280x1024 so this is perfect! Get it now!

ExO says:

This Skin totally RUX!!! The Graphics are great and the background is one of the nicest I've ever seen, I've got the partitions all setup right and a zip, so it works great, keep up the great work!!

Avatar-50x50

This is amazing. I like how step.rc makes up part of the default bg, but if you don't, try Gravity Well by precursor. Oh, and could you email me at garrett791@home.com with some help to convert it to 1024?

Detro says:

I didn't love the first background, but the second one rules. If only more theme were as cool as this one. Nixstep is cooler looking but this one is much easier to use, and that is important. i can't wait for nix2!!

Excellent work.... Like it a Lot

Avatar-50x50

This is the reason I use LiteStep. I'm not at 1280 but it was relatively easy to customize. Ya just got scoot schitt around. The background really kicks ass, but I'm not a big fan of it having the name of the theme on it.

Avatar-50x50

I love it! Lot of detail in the background. I never though of using a wharf like that, but I am still partial to sysvwm and a set of shortcuts I put in my theme.

bfelt says:

This is amazzzzzzzzzing. I love this theme. I have a few suggestions. First, it's easy enough to make your own program wharf tiles but if you could include some more wharf folders, like "Games" and "Office." Also it would be cool if you could include step.rcs for different resolutions. Good job.
