right after i use the ls installer by omar, i reboot and log on with my username. then it sort of freezes up for awhile at the logging in screen, and after a minute or so goes to the LS desktop. the problem is that whenever i try to change themes, it just leaves me with a background. i have no idea whats wrong, im a litestep newbie. also, none of the windows i use before i try and change themes are skinned, they look like default xp windows, all big and blue and bubbly :-P

im on win xp sp1 if that matters...any help is appreciated. if this was mentioned before please point me in the right direction and sorry for the inconvenience (i was looking around these forums looking for someone with a similar problem and couldn't find anything).

I see this problem get reported all the time on this forum. They are difficult to find these threads though as people give the thread title names like "problem", as opposed to something a little more descriptive like "Changing themes in Win XP".

Do a search for "XP themes desktop" and I'm sure you will find something useful. Though remember, the thread titles probably won't say what the thread is about.
