Are there any nice starter bars for windows/litestep? I searched google for a while but didn't find anything usefull. Some nice little mac like thingie or gdesklets starterbar like would be perfect.

Yeah. I keep seeing screenshot of them in wincustomize.org, but I don't know the name of it.

One thing I noticed is that there's a frog icon on each and every screenshot I see. :p

part of the problem could be they are called THEMES, NOT STARTER BARS!!

Since when gdesklets is a theme? :)

oh, I see what you're asking for now. sorry, I thought you were referring to theme portion of a litestep bar theme as a starter bar. :P well, you can use any one. I remember there was a dock (that's what they're called) module created for litestep, but the easiest thing would probably be to download objectdock from stardock.

here's one of the big ones: http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/

If you've ever seen Mac OSX, the "starter bar", or dock, is basically visually enhanced shortcuts. they're pretty cool, but I have problems with them and litestep's vwm's. plus, they're not really needed. I just have all of the shortcuts I need in my popup.

Ya, Yzdock and objectdock were fun for a while but not very practical for me.
