Phaedryn: Well, the thing is Devilboi says to make sure any stardock app you have is uninstalled:
"Also..Also...make sure you don't have any of those wonderful Stardock desktop apps installed, or the remnants of."
Iconpacker works different with Litestep than it does with explorer.

So you should read the thread and try all the stuff Devilboi says ;) (He knows what he is talking about).

Particular applications have peculiar results under Litestep.
Actually not just LS, but usually any alt shell, as some crap relies on explorer to work :/
