Hey guys I was wondering if Litestep was worth getting or not?

------------------
<Outlaw_Torn> you mean your related to that damned sasquatch, Mech?
<MechWarrior> Lets just say the part of the family tree that does fork has bossy the goat in it.

<ubuu> does hitler have a last name?

I've tried it several times, and never really liked it. It was just too complicated getting custom skins/themes to work for it.

I was under the impression there was a trial version of it (?)

It's free! It's very cool if you've got the time and nouse to dedicate to it. I had one, but not the other, so went to windowblinds!

If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.

^^^ Thats exactly it. Litestep can be cool, but only if you're willing to devote extra time to configuring it, and learning how to use it. Dont expect to immediately have a bunch of different cool themes upon downloading it.

I've tried Litestep and I didn't like it. I found it unappealing. And a little cumbersome. That's my take though.

Pretty much what everyone else said. Plus it's promise of using less ram than explorer proved to be wrong on the system I installed it on.

Yeah...
I like litesteps... But that’s just me...

It does take quite a lot of work to get it setup properly. And litesteps does NOT handle multi-monitors well. Not to say that you can configure it to work, but it took me about 3 hours to re-configure my shell to work correctly with two desktops, and it is still a very ugly solution and is lacking in a few departments.

Anyway, if you want power and a fully customizable shell, you want litesteps, if you simply want themes that work, go use something else.
