Since I'm a newguy (not again :) ) Here's my question...
I know I should be reading a lot of posts, but since there are more then 1400 this could take a while... And since some people are in here already a long time, you probably know very quickly what I need...
I want to use Litestep to free up resources and have a nice interface at the same time... I'm an architect (still studying, but hope to graduate) and when rendering I need my resources... I end-task all the possible programs, but I don't like to do that with explorer... So a lighter shell is a good solution...
Is it possible to start 'from scratch' or as close as possible? Is there a tutorial on this? Is there already a theme that is pure minimum? What are the best articles to read to modify or create such a theme I'm looking for? Or is explorer already a minimum resources shell and is Litestep absolutely not a good option?

Thx for your time...

There are a couple VERY basic themes out there for this, one even designed for a server enviornment. On my machine I am running Xhenit currently and it holds around 6M of memory after running for about a day, normally starts a little higher. Explorer on the other hand normally holds about 21M of memory.

Thx... Will look for that one... :)

Should be sufficient to start :)

actually...you can prolly trim that up even more because you don't need to define a ConfigDir you don't use, nor an ImageFolder that you have no need for.

Well, thx for the answers... I fugered I should trim the modules down... And shorten all as much as possible, but thanks for making it easy for me :)

@DeViLbOi: This is a sample to begin with. Not a minimalist project. I guess these two lines won't change anything on the theme's weight:)

all they will do is confuse the newb

Don't think you'll confuse me... You'l probably will, but that will only push me to really examin what it's going about... Any input is welcome... and if I don't understand, I'll just ask :)

the lines with ; won't be read... So if the theme is really just for me, it's not necessary...
otsmajorversion 2 } These two I don't know
otsminorversion 0 } what they do..

Next is info litestep will display if choosing to change theme I guess...
Next two is to define configdir and lsimagefolder, so configuration folder and image folder...
again the ;

Then modules that are told to be loaded...
This one is fuzzy to me.: commandx -160
and autosize explains itself... :)

Am I right about that until now?
Just tell me If I have to look up the information myself... Won't do any harm...

litestep\modules\docs folder will help you

o-t-s.sourceforge.net and http://www.resisualvisuals.com sould help you too.

CommandX changes the X position of the lsxcommand commandbox.

Thx Funkyd00d... Will have a look there...

Thank you very much for the link funkyd00d...
o-t-s.sourceforge.net Was really helpfull until now... Haven't even started with the other one...

I've just discover that slash aren't display :(
What escape code should I use instead of slash ?

Is this still about the topic I started or to someone else? Because I'm not really following what you are saying...

I just say that stuff like
need a backslash after "config" but I can't make it display in the post

Ah... No Prob... Found that out already... :)
