LiteStep is awesome

One of the coolest programs I've seen in years. Litestep ( http://www.litestep.net ) allows complete customization of windows.

Look at it this way, clones: When model T cars came out, everyone drove black cars with the same design. Then, cars started looking differently, and changing color. That's what litestep does to windows. Gone are the annoying Explorer.exe crashes. In its place is litestep. It was featured in wired magazine.

I tried lightstep a year ago and I hated the interface, not to mention it actually crashed more than windows. But i'm sure they fixed many of the bugs by now.

windowblinds only changes the look of windows, litestep changes the whole interface. its an explorer replacement

it was based on AfterSTEP

I tried WindowBlinds but got sick of it after a while. The colors would always get whacked on my after a while. I wanted a dark gray interface, but the default brown would always show through certain places after a few hours.
