Version 1.1 available here: [link]

Inspired by Elfin2 [link]
Created by [link]
Much thanks for his permission to re-distribute my edit of his skin.

Highly recommended background: [link]

This LiteStep theme contains all the modules within it.

I added an always-on-top mini-corner (top left) which can be clicked even when a window is open covering the desktop. No need to minimize everything to open the PopUp menu! :-D Left-click on it to see today's date!

There is a middle-mouse-button-click menu in addition to the regular right-mouse-button-click.

There is a button where "Start" usually is: right-click to minimize all windows, left-click for another custom menu.

On mouse-over above time display you get a mouse-scroll-wheel-scrollable list of tray icons.

Elegant, simple, easy to edit. Have fun!

Two more things...

1. NetLoadModule did not appear to work. It didn't give me errors, but it didn't load properly either.

2. Very slick theme.

Thank you for sharing how to fix the LoadModule error some are getting :D

Thank you for the kind words also :)

open up the theme.rc file (located in the Boris folder) and add quotes around the module paths. ie. change:

LoadModule $ThemeDir$modules\jdesk-0.73.dll

to

LoadModule "$ThemeDir$modules\jdesk-0.73.dll"

and the same for the other five modules. Refresh the theme list and it should install alright.

This was an issue for me as I have my themes installed under Documents and Settings. Without the quotes, litestep is parsing it only until the first space, so it interpreted each path as "C:\Documents ", not "C:\Documents and Settings\...."

Thank you for the advice - this has helped quite a few people when my code didn't work :)

I really want to try this theme. I used litestep back in the day, but haven't for ages. I get can't find module errors when I try and load. I have it in my themes directory...but I have it in a directory under that as well. Should I not?

Sorry it's giving you trouble. Perhaps you could try the following: instead of theme.rc lines like this

LoadModule $ThemeDir$modules\jdesk-0.73.dll

have

NetLoadModule "jdesk-0.73"

(for each line) ... and it might just do it from the web ... let me know if that works :)

i dragged the "boris" folder into my themes folder and it won't display in the right click menu.

You will need to right-click (to get to the "litestep" menu while running litestep), select -> Themes Folder -> refresh list

After that you should be able to see the skin in the list.

Let me know if that doesn't help or you have other questions :)
