Hey all. I'm new to Lite Step and I really like it alot. My computer runs alot faster now with it. If any one could tell me how to 'unlock' the desktop icons like "My Network Places" or "My Computer" I would really appreciate it.

Most themes doesn't provide this. It have to be a *new* theme using xlabel-2.x.x. (and it have to be configured to display icons...)

or you can go to file manager>desktop and then do what ever you want there

smurth, can a theme be converted to use xlabel-2.x.x without major rewriting?

I guess there shouldn't be any difficulty. xLabelDesktop is easy to configure (just 2 line and a !bang to update the icons)
I've just took a look to see how it works; but I'm curently not using it...

the lateste xlabel... allows those icons + dragging...

not much editing is required...

There was a new version released tody (2.8.5) with some major improvement: updating the desktop on the fly. And the really great thing is: it even works.

I don't understand why more themers don't use xlabel as a companion to eg jdesktop to provide some of the useful functionality that xlabel provides.
