Topic: Litestep in Windows 7.. tips?

I've followed the few threads on using Litestep in Windows 7, but I have been using Windows XP since it came out (Litestep keeps me sane here). I'm moving to Windows 7 (64bit) next week, and I'm hoping there aren't any 'gotcha's?

Who has it working well, and are there any different steps to getting it working well?

Re: Litestep in Windows 7.. tips?

With modified versions of litestep.exe, lsapi.dll, and xtray-2.2.2.dll, you get the flyouts, and its correct positions fixed, but you lost it if !recycle.

Alur is working on a build, but it nor was launched on lsdev.org or here, just the source-code.

i'm on Win8 now, but i've hear this question before, and due to issues presents on LiteStep at Win7, i've must to create a work-around theme. This topic have a link to  "LiteStep and Windows 7 x64 : running them both" (by atde). I hope it can help you. let us know your progress. Negative or positive.

Re: Litestep in Windows 7.. tips?

I've been running LS on win7 for years now on all my machines. Works fine with some exceptions. See my other posts for a list of what doesn't work so well.

Let me know if something comes up during installation, I've had a few issues, but they were always different ones on different machines.

well I just (finally) got Windows 7 installed. I need to get out of Explorer fast, before I go even more crazy than Windows 7 will already make me. Hopefully there are no problems.
