Different installs of LiteStep? Thread last updated on 2004-07-20 09:38:49

I'm new to litestep but not new to computers, so all the warnings about it being difficult to install because you have to change registry keys and have to manually edit and configure new themes didn't bother me. I downloaded the newest release "LiteStep_Beta_BuildRC3_7-93" but then couldn't find ANY documentation on how to install it. I downloaded the Omar Installer, and got litestep working with a nice theme with no problems. I want to config the modules for this theme, but apparently it's not possible with the omar install? Can anyone straighten this out for me? Also, most themes have "step.rc" but why do some only have "theme.rc" and what's the difference?
Thanks for helping!

Download the installer 3.02, which makes installation a snap (which it looks like you did)b, then you extract the RC3 build into that folder, as all it contains are the necessary executable bits of LS.

OTS2 themes will have theme.rc, OTS themes will have step.rc. The difference is just the newer OTS spec.

Read the stickies!

There are a few sticky threads here in the General forum, and in the Theme forum that address your questions.
