MODULES
—————————
- V_Bang 1.3 ~ Black Hawk
I have just uploaded a new V_bang release to my webspace…..
It’s bugfixing-only, so there aren’t any new features……
Hopefully the mods I made fix the problems some people had with
v_bang – if not I will try again with rel 1.4 :/
I have included two versions of v_bang… V_bang.dll and
aV_bang.dll… If the first doesn’t work right try the other one…..

- lsAmp .99b ~ grim reaper
lsAmp is a winAmp frontend, which means that you can control
winAmp from it. What makes lsAmp special is that you control
it from the wharf-bar, which means you got to have LiteStep to
be able to use it.
In the next major release of lsAmp you’ll be able to skin it
with your own skin, and not only deciding what graphics to use,
but also where buttons should be located, which buttons that
should be included, the size of the different buttons and a
lot more.
Unfortunately this project is currently in beta-state, which
means none of the last features are supported and there’s
probably a lot of bugs to.

THEMES
—————————
- Hammaraxx ~ Thor
I have finally finished my Hammaraxx theme
And Website for it.
Includes; Backgrounds (basic stuff), skins, module skins (bmps)
and screenshots
I would appreciate any input about it if you wouldn’t mind
having a look.
So my questions are
-Is it too slow loading for you ?
-Are there too much graphics?
-Oh and, do you like the theme?
-what do you think of the site presentation?and the
screenshots?
I wrote the HTML in notepad only and it seems a bit slow
loading to me.
This could be ’cause it is at xoom.com, I didn’t use an HTML
editor and also ’cause there is heaps of graphics on it too.
The Hammaraxx theme was based on Praxxis “Thuglife”, as you can
imagine Yes it is a digitheme.

- ZagStep ~ Zag
A short desciption of the bar ( ZagStep !! ). Starting from the
left going right:
SysTray 1.0 for handling…….. the systray !
Inciner8 makes a nice little fireplace to dispose of your
trash.
V_bang gives me volume control + a mute button.
LsxCommandClock does the scrolling WinAmp-title.
Geek-amp for the WinAmp-buttons: prev,play,pause,stop,next
and loadfile.
The space underneath is reserved for further WinAmp controlling
buttons.
LsMail for the nice little mail checker, graphics by myself
( Well almost ). BTW: If someone can convert a animated gif
to avi, please contack me.
Next a bunch of shotcuts for some of my more used programs.
Icons taken from Gnome.
SysVWM 5.0 takes care of the virtual windows.
LsxCommand gives me a nice little runbox.
And in the end a box for my running tasks. LsTasks.dll

WEB SITES

- LS UNLiMiTED ~ http://ak.binary.net/litestep
After a long wait, I am back to site development. I just
decided to finish it for good this time, and be done with it.
This means that I’m taking some break from work stuff. I’m
still working on the site alone, but no worries in past two
days I have done more than I did in past 3 months on it :)
Anyway visit LiteStep UNLiMiTED for more information and
updates.

PROGRAMS
—————————
- BaseBar r1 ~ Base2
Way back in June, I was working on a shell/applauncher… some
kids have gone nuts in #Litestep, so I am giving it out… The
theme is garbage… sorry… I formated since I had my good
theme… and just deal…
Update: It comes with my port of GeekAmp, my SysTray, My Time
module for it, and my LSCommand type module…
Update: The config in this program is much like the config in
LS making it slightly easier to deal with. I AM NOT GOING TO
BE SUPPORTING THIS PROGRAM AT ALL okay?
