Just found myself back in Litestep land, but came up with some problems. I'm using Omars LS installer, which installed fine. With that, I'm running Stardocks Object Bar (start menu, taskbar), Object Dock (OSX lookalike) and Windowblinds.

Now problem is, if I open an explorer window from Object Bar or Litestep (right click on a folder, open), It won't get skinned. If I open one through Object Dock it gets skinned as it should. This happened when I installed LS, any ideas of why? Should I just skip windowblinds and try ShellWM or StyleXP?

It could be litestep setting system colors. Check the netloadmodules of the theme your using and put a semicolon (;) in front of the entry for syscolor.dll. Recycle litestep and reapply your windowblinds theme and see if that fixes it.

Didn't help :-(
It's very strange. Can't understand why only explorer windows started from object dock gets skinned...
