Im looking for more indepth doc's..being as the doc's section is down.

What I have been able to do thus far:

I Installed litestep via omars distro i had no problems whatsoever

What i do know thus far

Litestep offers the ability to make my system truly feel like MY system with massive options!

I know transparency is possable (like fancy nix desktops)
litestep does not effect my programs or how they work
I can have so much more going on my screen (alot of which just isnt possable with the native MS shell)



What id like to know:

What programs will aid me in my quest to creat my own unique look?

Are there any security risks? (backdoors worms etc) with themes and modules?

Can i have multi desktops like XFree86? (one for multimedia one for school work one for networking blah blah etc etc)

And am i right to assume once i get the hang of this its going to become very addictive?

Addictive? Naaaah. I only spend a couple of hours a day, 365x24x7, on LS-related stuff. No problem.

Right click your desktop >> Litestep >> module docs. You'll have enough reading for the next little while. =) Read up on xlabel, in particular. It can do sooo much.

1) Consider LS config files as Unix RC Files.

2) There can be security risks with themes, can't really control those theme submitters.

Yeah, those theme submitters are nasty people :D

Especially those Swedish ones.

Mesotiny, upgrade your Litestep build to 0.24.7 Final (www.lsdev.org) and NetLoadModule 2.5.0 (search). Read the "release_notes.txt" from the 0.24.7 release.
