Let me say I respect very much the effort you do in this site and for the LS community:
1st point The modules made to work with litestep and litestep itself have evolved to and extent that its potential surpasses the actual use.
2nd Litestep Is much more than a possibility to download themes that pretty much are the same thing with a different look.
3rd the reason their the same thing is because of performance limitations and and space on the desktop
4th If you can switch themes in 2 seconds(wallpaper included) like everybody should without the use of any modules to do the task(that includes scripting modules) then Subtheme Structures could be understood.

For example I would be able to post the Subtheme I just finished:
made of Kidnapp,literunner,xlabellight and rainimation(thats it) and let people adapt it to their screen resolution.

WELL THATS NOT LIKELY CAUSE THEN THE QUESTION WOULD COME !WEAR IS THE POPUP,TASKBAR CLOCK,VWM,AMP,TRAY,COMMAND ETC.
I would say !Its a Subtheme structure !not a theme.
Whats a Subtheme?

I guess something that has no Point.
