there should be a little program called LSTS.exe in your $LiteStepDir$. i prefer LSCP.exe (same directory), also has a theme switcher.

it was about the pay concept of this site. there are quite a few excellent skinners that don´t submit here for exactly this reason. go out a little more. else you´ll miss plenty of awesome stuff.

two more things: - think about getting rid of the glass in the bar unless this is for your personal use only. in different languages the horizontal stretching is different and will most probably have an effect on the right end of the glass. - do the rollup button after you got the bar finished. msstyles supports per-pixel alpha-transparent PNGs for this (no clue about WB here). if WB also supports PNGs i´m pretty sure Renato will help you out with some Photoshop sources.

kthxbye: yep, correct. Luna has a lot of images that get stretched. not only in the shellstyle, but also on the window borders. makes msstyles skinning a little more complicated that WB.

ich hab zwar kein WindowBlinds, aber in msstyles gibts genau das selbe problem. Du kannst mal C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Luna\Shell\NormalColor\shellstyle.dll mit ResHacker auseinandernehmen und Du siehst, dass auch das original gestreckt wird. einzige möglichkeit ist etwas Magic Pink oben hinzuzufügen, aber wegen der internen sizing margins ist es relativ kompliziert mit detailreichen bildern ein ansprechendes resultat zu bekommen. wichtig ist auch, dass in der deutschen version von W

yep, Dokt is perfectly right. it´s the "best of the best" what might confuse people. the wallpaper library is far from that.

Reply to Using screen savers as desktops in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

you did put it into the wrong config file. delete the two lines from c:\litestep\step.rc and put them into c:\litestep\themes\simplicity\step.rc maybe a good idea not to use the whole desktop area for the screensaver.

as with any other program on your system: put at shortcut to it into the "Startup" folder in your start menu.

Reply to Using screen savers as desktops in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

you can do this with LiteStep. use saver.dll to display the screensaver on your desktop. if you still want to be able to click on the desktop to get your popup menus. use zorder.dll to make sure your desktop module layer is above the saver layer.

paxx: "somehow" elected ... the voting at this time can not really be called democratic, as the radical parties had rather big militias that took influence in the voting process. also the NSDAP did not get the absolute majority, but also needed a smaller national-conservative party (DNVP) to elect Hitler as chancellor. i still love this thought by R.

yes, most probably HTML. you can also do this with LiteStep´s lsxcommand module (but that´s more complicated for newbies). i don´t think any Stardock software can do this and as this site is pretty much a "Stardock ghetto" you will probably not get much answers here. for HTML on the desktop related questions i suggest to ask at Custo http://www.customize.org
