icemoon....LiteSTEP is not all that 'easy'.  Most shell replacements require a learning curve that is not quite 'flat'.

Given time they 'become' easy, but from the outset require patience, practice and the ability to read and comprehend....

No spikey stick... Will this do

the key is to learn and understand what you are doing.

step 1: go here and download the LiteStep Installer: http://beyondconvention.net/ohussain/lsinstaller/

step 2: do not install it. read the Installation Guide first: http://beyondconvention.net/ohussain/lsinstaller/installation_guide.htm

step 3: now install.

step 4: before trying new themes read this part of the Installation Guide again:

Oh - I guess this is pretty important - the installer supports the latest specification of the Open Theme Standard for LiteStep. Older themes will definitely have to be updated for OTS2 compliance, but in the meantime, old OTS1 compliant themes can be used. For information on using OTS1 compliant LiteStep themes, please consult the documentation included with the LiteStep Theme Installer.

step 5: read this part of the Installation Guide again:

Oh - I guess this is pretty important - the installer supports the latest specification of the Open Theme Standard for LiteStep. Older themes will definitely have to be updated for OTS2 compliance, but in the meantime, old OTS1 compliant themes can be used. For information on using OTS1 compliant LiteStep themes, please consult the documentation included with the LiteStep Theme Installer.

step 6: check wether themes are OTS2 compliant before you install them. you can find a few themes here at Wincustomize. much more themes can be found at LiteStep.net (naturally). also worth a visit are deviantArt.com and Customize.org

step 7: feel free to copy and paste these easy little steps all over the net. they are licensed under the FDL http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html

Yes....most times it's clever to listen to moshi....[but not every time, eh lad?]....

yep, better not every time. when i´m in a bad mood i can become as zealotish and bloodthirsty as a Bobo Shanti elder.

Sounds quite poetic....
