The following are some useful links I have come across in my LiteStep travels in no particular order.
If you'd like to be added to this links page, drop me an e-mail. I would only ask you include a
link back to LS Log.
| Category: News/Resources |
WeStep: A very useful site for all things LiteStep. Includes such features as graphics
making tutorials, a theme designing guide, some sample themes, useful links and much more. Highly recomended.
http://westep.cjb.net/ |
LSD-Trip (German): This site includes such features as a FAQ, important downloads, help forum, planned
tutorials, and more soon. Apparently the only LiteStep site in German. It looks like a good site based on how much of
the gist I can get from the looks of it (I speak zero German). (Thanks for the reciprical link Dom!)
http://www.lsd-trip.de |
LiteStep-dot-com: This site was undergoing a major re-disign. It had screenshots, themes, news, lots of things.
as of now (29 March 2002) this site along with pretty much all the other major litestep sites is now down as of the fore
mentioned date. I'll leave it here because it will come back up someday (I don't know when). Currently Down
http://www.litestep.com/ |
LSWeb: A new LiteStep news site. Additional sections include a user-added links and news,
downloads, a reviews section for modules and LS utilities, and more LS-related sections. Currently Down
http://www.litestep.heritage-tech.net/ |
La Haine Litestep: Includes some themes, many extensive tutorials, a FAQ, a database of links,
a mailing list and much more. A very valuable website I highly recommend.

desktopian.org: Quoted from the meta tag:
"has it all for alternate Win32 shell users: Timely desktop-centric news and opinion pieces,
add-on modules and graphics, themes, useful utilities, shell-usage tips, and virtual unix information."
http://desktopian.org/ |
ShellFront: Site which provides news for all shells, not just LiteStep. Even covers announcements of
new builds of LiteStep modules. Also has long list of a ton of shell-related websites. Highly recommended.
http://shellfront.org/ |
Teknidermy: An online [free] publication about skinning and for skinners. Many articles including
some on various shells like LiteStep. Currently Down

| Category: Themes and Screen Shots |
LiteStep.Net: You can view and download a wide variety of themes and screenshots and upload
your own if so desired. A very great site with many many themes (the largest number of themes as far as I know).
Note: This site seems to be going down and coming back up at unpredictable intermidants. So it may or may not be up
at the moment.
http://litestep.net/ |
Deviant Art: In addition to skins and themes for different applications, Deviant Art includes a
database of free icons, photography, poetry, original artwork, fonts, and a large collection of links, to name a few
of the many features.
http://www.deviantart.com/ |
Behaviour: Features a few LiteStep themes and some skins for winamp. Also includes impressive
list of LiteStep-related links.
http://behaviour.free.fr/ |
Customize-dot-org: A large bunch of skinz and themes for all sorts of apps including
LiteStep and various other Windows shells.

Category: LiteStep Distributions |
LSDistro: As close to the "official" distribution as you're going to find. LSDistro has finally
been released to much fanfare. Hopefully LiteStep will now start to show up on the popular software databases
and it will become even more popular than it already is. Currently Down
http://lsdistro.litestep.com/ |
LiteStep for People: A popular (I'm told) distribution of LiteStep. This is the distro I'm using currently.
That doesn't necessarily imply endorsement, it just happens to be the one I settled with. Some good information but
their themes section hasn't been finished yet which is a little annoying. Currently Down
http://why.litestep.com/ |
AlpaLS:This distro concentrates on themes which are an adaption of an interface of other
operating systems and/or windows managers and operating environmnets. For example there are themes for this distro
mimicing KDE and GNOME from the X Windows *nix system.
http://alphals.shellscape.org/ |
Structured LiteStep: One of the newer distributions. At the moment he appears to still be
working on his website. I'm sure it will be much better soon. I have yet to try this distribution.

DMOZ: Open Directory: In the true free/open tradition DMOZ is an open-directory project.
To you and I this means it is completely run by volunteer editors. Each category has an unpaid editor who
keeps track of broken links whenever it's convenient. Apparently DMOZ is always looking for more volunters
if this sounds intriging.
