Well,most of you know this but im shure many dont (just like I didnt)
If you have LS Theme Installer (Omars) and whant to accelerate changing themes allready on your pc (that you know work).
dobleclick the LS Theme installer on the utilities folder on litestep dir and select settings, uncheck everything except "apply wallpaper".
Youll be changing themes as fast as recycle ( you can check them back before you download a theme).
Oh,"Apply wallpaper" Well to change the wallpaper automaticlly as you change theme just put a theme.ini file on your theme directory (well I never knew how to make an .ini file so what you could do is just copy any .ini file on you pc (be careful)put it on the theme dir,rename it theme (theme.ini) erase its contents and copy this:
[Install]
Wallpaper="wallpaper\background.bmp"
WallpaperStyle="centered"
Then make a folder called wallpaper(on the theme dir) and put background.bmp in it (or?.gif,?.jpg)
thats it, do that for all your themes.
youll be changing themes including wallpaper as quick as recycle ( no more wallpaper changing modules).
Probably most of you got borred, but hope this helps somebody.

Well,......not really,
If you mean you are not getting the same results, maybe its got something to do with The fact I dont use NetLoadModule anymore.(check the "modules forum" under NetLoadModule vs LoadModule).

Nah, that would not affect the truthfulness of the claim. The small time taken by NLM happens when you recycle just as well as when you switch themes. Well, unless you need to download a module, in which case NLM is a lot faster.
