download a desktop module. The only one that worked for me is icondesk. Then put this code into your theme.rc file for every theme you want icons for, and edit to your liking.

LoadModule "C:\litestep\modules\icondesk.dll"

;----Icon Config----

IconDeskUpdateInterval 5000
;The time, in ms, to wait between checking if there has been any
;updates in the displayed folders. Defaults to 1000 (1 second).
;IconDesk is configured much in the same way as Maduin's Label.
;Begin with specifying a list of groups to add (a group [of
;icons] is basicly a folder to display).

IconDeskGroups 1

IconDesk1Visible True
;Determines whether or not the group is visible. Defaults to
;true.

;Distance between the icons. Not that the distance is calculated
;between the rectangles formed by both the icons and the text.
;Defaults to 0, both ways.

IconDesk1Direction down
;The direction to draw the icons in. Defaults to right.

IconDesk1WrapDirection right
;Direction to wrap the icons in. Defaults to down. Note: If
;Direction is set to right or left, WrapDirection must be up or
;down and vice versa.

IconDesk1WrapCount 13
;Number of icons to display before wrapping to the next line
;or column. Defaults to 10.

;If true, all folders will be placed before all files. Defaults
;to true.

;Font used to display the filenames. Defaults to Arial, size 14,
;white, neither bold nor italic.

IconDesk1TextWidth 64
IconDesk1TextHeight 38
;Size of the box where the text is drawn. Defaults to 64x28.

IconDesk1TextShadowDepth 2
;If set, a text shadow will be drawn the specified number of
;pixels below and to the right of the normal text. Negative
;numbers will place the shadow above and to the left of the
;normal text. Defaults to 0.

IconDesk1TextShadowColor 000000
;The color of the text shadow. Defaults to 80 80 80.

*IconDesk1Folder $desktop$
;change $desktop$ to .desktop if you want special folders.

If you want icons to be like your explorer ones, draggable and all, try xDesktop instead.

if you have windows 98 xdesktop wont work.
