So yup managed to get litestep up and running and got the default "Skin" or whatever running lovely. Then I went to wincustomize.com and downloaded a MacOSX skin, and that downloaded fine too. Then I go to change theme but it comes up with a message saying loads of stuff is missing, and asks me if I still want to go ahead. Wisely I don't. What am I doing wrong?

Saying that you don't. LiteStep is the most powerfull and advanced replacement shell you can get. There will more than likely be at least one part of a new theme that you can't support with your installation. Click Download Now and it will get everything it needs to load. Then you should be fine. There have been grumblings in the past on the forums about some MacOS themes from that site that don't work. Please read the comments from the theme, on that site, and see what others have experienced.

Thanks very much, it seems like I'm not a complete failure, I'm just being over cautious, seriously thanks for the help man, I really appreciatte it. Any time your round Cornwall, I owe you a pint.

I just thought I'd let you know that everything works splendidly for me now. Thanks again.
