What is Litestep?

"LiteStep is a replacement shell for Windows. The normal Windows shell (referred to as the explorer shell) consists of a taskbar, system tray, clock, start menu, and desktop with desktop icons.

The LiteStep shell has equivalents for all of these, plus a plethora of features which are not available in the explorer shell. Unlike the explorer shell, LiteStep is very powerful, and completely customisable, but the price of this is complexity. LiteStep does not have a GUI for setting options, instead all LiteStep configuration is done via plain text configuration files.

As mentioned earlier, LiteStep is completely customisable. The appearance and functionality of one's desktop changes with each LiteStep theme. The fact that every LiteStep theme changes the entire desktop user interface can be both exciting and frustrating. Exciting because a theme may be visually appealing, or show you new and efficient ways of using your desktop (or both!), frustrating because a theme may function in a manner that impedes your workflow."
