Does anyone use LiteStep, the Windows shell replacement program?

And if so, which theme do you use? Why do you use it? Do you recommend LiteStep? Care to share any tips for a newbie?

Thanks in advance.

Since this is a sort of poll, I’ll move this thread to IMHO.

I used to use litestep I used a theme called turtle soup it was the most popular for my resolution at the time on a website, I think [Litestep.org](http://Litestep.org), I liked it a lot. It was a great way to impress my friends. I don’t use it anymore because it doesn’t really improve anything it just changes where things are and how they look. All I really use now is my quicklaunch bar anyway so what was the point. Good luck and keep a boot disk handy in cause you have to switch the .ini back

I used it mainly on older computers. I could just set it up to be extrememly minimal, and it would make the comp seem a little quicker.

I liked the program, lots of fun tinkering and essentially making your own OS shell w/ all of the configureability.

I’m on a mac now, which I love, so alas I don’t use LS anymore.
