I think in order to clarify Litestep for the masses, they are going to have to just declare it a scripting language with add-on mods or something. Trying to package it like an app is killing it, I think. The last 10 or so themes I downloaded simply didn't work. Nothing was missing, I don't know if it was a matter of the resolution being wrong, or the new theme system deciding things weren't up to snuff.
I like the fact that it will download the dlls for you, but damn, if the average theme doesn't work even after you go through the motions, no one is really going to tackle it. I think LS was at its height when novices were scared to deal with it, and people who did knew that you basically had to take the theme you downloaded as a suggestion.
The only machine I really bother with it with now is my old 266 laptop. For me, DesktopX is a better answer for machines that can handle it. All I figure is that I am going to have to make a theme of my own for the lappy, because I'm tired of editing shell back to explorer in DOS. Most themes seem to leave me sitting there with no popups, no nothing but a few fragmented graphics.
If they put anything in, I wish they'd put in a hard-coded, keyboard shortcut commandline, so that when you are left that way you can at least launch a way to fix what's broken...
