depends on modem kona, i have ADSL but only a 576kb modem, currently saving for my 2GB one

well ADSL do 2GB that i know of so i assume cable isn't that far behind or even equal?

And here it is cheaper by 5 bucks than DSL.

It reads 50 megabits not gigabits. I'm running a cable modem that's pulling down 1 Gigabite a second right so i guess DSL is slower than cable.

as i said its only slower cause of the modem. you have a 1GB modem yeah? ADSL has one and also a 2GB one

just looked trough the litestep library, looks pretty cool, themes like sputnik makes me almost considder to switch (again and mess up my system)
ehm, how easy is it to restore your comp?

Well, I do have a old comp here, maby I will give it a try, what kind of code language is used?

I use win98, Install it on a laptop, as far as I see from screenshots it looks pretty cool. Don't yet have a idea what kind of team I will build.. any sugestions?
(sorry, when I run a skin on my desktop witch I didn't 'create' personally I just have to build one myself...)

so this has turned into a LS thread? sometimes even a topic like rips ends up in something productive.

the slowdowns you might have noticed with other desktop replacements is because those run on top of the Windows default shell (explorer.exe), so if you are running more programs you can´t expect them to use less resources.
with shell replacements as LS that´s different. you run LS instead of the regular Windows, so LiteStep will not slow down your system, but make it faster. also on Win98 it will make it more stable.
how many resources LS uses depends on the theme you use. many people say that the resource use depends on the number of modules you run. sounds logical, but i have pretty much experience in LS and in my experience the amount of images and the amount of transparency in these images are far more important than the number of modules.

Styl...that's right, so don't use my stuff....tends to have a fair whack of trans....just look at my WinAMP sometime...

you have something WITHOUTH trancparency too?
Btw: you really have some cool themes there, never tryed to make them for wb?

a good start is Mojomonkee´s tutorial: http://students.seattleu.edu/connolb/tutorials/litestep_tutorial/litestep_part_1.html
it has all the links you need to begin.
i said it several times at other threads that the links on the LiteStep section here needs to be updated. just one line in a text file, but nobody seems to care ...
www.litestep.net is the place to go.
