	LiteStep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LiteStep was initially developed by Francis Gastellu as a closed source project until April of 1998 (version b23), and was then entirely rewritten (versions 24 and up) by the newly assembled development team.
		LiteStep is one of the oldest remaining Windows shell replacements.
		LiteStep has the biggest number of modules and this allows all Windows users to configure their environment to be rich and full-featured or minimalistic.

	LiteStep b24.6
		LiteStep was originally written a few years back by LoneRunnr, who didn't want to do things "the Microsoft way".
		LiteStep users must be comfortable with text based configuration and have to accept the fact that Windows will not operate like they were used to (which is not necessarily a bad thing).
		LiteStep's superiority and usefulness is based on a simple, yet powerful concept: modularity.

	Ars Technica: An introduction to LiteStep - Page 3 (6/99) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As I write this, I have the LiteStep manual open on one desktop, this document in a second, and ICQ and Winamp in a third.
		To navigate these windows you can use a right-click, a keyboard combination, or LSVWM autoswitching, which is a feature that allows you to just mouse off the side of the screen in the direction of the window you want to go to and you're there.
		Another bug that bites you every once and a while has to do with the fact that the OS and many applications are expecting Explorer to be the shell, and so things may go boink on you every once and a while.

	What is Litestep?
		After release of v23d, Lonerunnr released Litestep's source code to the public under the "open source" GNU Public License (GPL) and turned over future developement to a formal development team headed by Brandon Williams (AKA Floach).
		Litestep has been a bit of a moving target, as new versions come out fairly often, and the 'official' site has moved from time to time.
		Litestep is not for the faint of heart, or the recent AOL-graduate.

		In fact, the LiteStep replacement for the Start menu is very attractive and tidy, though it lacks the useful on-mouseover flyout menus.
		Here's where LiteStep really lost me. Unless it's hidden somewhere under a virtual rock, or maybe I just didn't get the memo on the secret handshake, there is no right click functionality on the desktop.
		LiteStep is distributed under the GNU license, similar to Linux, and its creators should be commended for their philanthropic efforts.

		Themes that utilize the core LiteStep modules (and do not have their own copies which they use) may need to be repaired to take into account changes in the core modules.
		LiteStep can detect SOME duplicates but other's it cannot and therefore you may see things that are present in both Start Menus.
		With upcoming Litestep development, a third theme standard, building on the first two, is intended to be developed and released.

	westep - Why is LiteStep so great? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		LiteStep can be run on top of the Explorer shell, but the best performance and the greatest flexibility is achieved by running LiteStep on it's own.
		LiteStep is also "open source" software, released under the [GNU General Public License], which means that the source code is available to anyone, and if you have the know-how and feel inclined, you can modify it any way you like.
		I know that LiteStep has received a lot of negative criticism for it's low user-friendliness, so I think the curious should be aware of the upsides as well as the downsides.

		litestep is a replacement for explorer in Win98 which is linux-ish.
		I used it for a while, and it was really cool (especially with fast multi-desktops), but I got sick of the little bugs and gave it up.
		I used Litestep about 3 years ago, and didn't like the fact I couldn't use explorer for browsing the disk.

	:: Shell-Shocked ::
		Litestep has the ability to run modules in a threaded state.
		If you have a theme where there are several elements that can be toggled, you might like to know that you can get Litestep to remember the state of these elements (shown or hidden) when it is shutdown or recycled, so you don't have to go and hide or show everything again.
		One of the things that the Explorer shell has over Litestep, in my opinion, is the taskbar, due to its dynamically-resizing task buttons.

	LiteStep Log - Welcome
		The default Windows shell, known as Explorer, is what provides you with your start menu, system tray, taskbar etc, but this shell can be turned off and replaced with a much more configurable and user-friendly desktop environment.
		LiteStep replaces these standard items but also adds a whole slew of new, useful and totally configurable features.

		LiteStep under win2k/XP Litestep under win2k/XP As Microsoft is quite aggressive about its own explorer-shell, there are a few registry settings you need to change in order to get LiteStep running to your full satisfaction.
		Also, since LiteStep doesn’t come with a Dde handler (there is a module called LiteMan.dll which works in most cases) software installation is conveniently done while logged in as administrator under explorer.exe as shell.
		For LiteStep, the shell entry may be "C:\LiteStep\LiteStep.exe" or wherever your LiteStep executable is located.

	Ars Technica: An introduction to LiteStep - Page 1 (6/99) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		There are a few different programs available that can seriously hijack the Windows interface for you, all with varying tweaks and trimmings, and trasmute the plain to the phunk.
		LiteStep is a shell replacement for Windows that takes its form from the infamous NeXTSTEP desktop (and the Afterstep window manager in Linux, which has made that "NeXT look" even more popular).
		Their official position is, of course, that LiteStep is inspired by Afterstep, which has no official ties to NeXTSTEP, a product owned (now) by Apple Computer and somewhat jealously guarded.

	Teknidermy Magazine -
		Perhaps it was that code with which they talked, referring constantly to their step.rc file and talking about builds not working with some modules… it all seemed terribly complicated compared to the "What skin are you using?" questions the average windowblind user might have.
		Configuring Litestep is, at best, time consuming, and at worst, a pain in the arse, as some third party modules conflict with other modules, or even with some builds of the litestep executable itself.
		These distributions are by far the easiest way to set Litestep up, and get it up and running, frequently packaging together an installer, shell switcher (for if oyu need/want to revert back to explorer or any other shell), a theme switcher (simialir to say the Sindowblinds skin changing dialogue), and comprehensive documentation.

		The Litestep shell is reminiscent of the AfterStep environment in Linux, which is based on NextStep.
		That's because Litestep assumes that the program is in the default location while it might be in some other directory.

		LiteStep and all LiteStep modules are configured through a text file known as the Step.RC, located by default in the same directory as litestep.exe.
		Modules bring new Step.RC commands and new !Bang commands to LiteStep, so it is essential to read the appropriate documentation before using and configuring a new module.
		A !Bang command is an internal command specifically designed to control LiteStep or one of its modules.
