This is Blank, a theme i've been using and improving for more than two years now. It grew into quite a beast, with large amounts of lua scripting ( LsLua's lsmodule was born from this theme ) and many neat features, such as displaying weather forecasts and album covers. I hope they can make up for the total lack of graphic fancyness ;-) I recently found the motivation to polish it, write some documentation and add extra options, so now i can finally release it. For the biggest part, this theme is very stable, but there are some rough edges around the features that you don't see in the screenshot. RabidVWM and Xprop seem to crash alot and the other color scheme needs some work i think ;-)

I hope you will enjoy this theme. Feel free to leave any comments and suggestions you might have. If you want to edit the theme i'd be happy to see the results :-)

This is worth downloading for everybody just to learn from the sheer awesomeness in the config and scripting so thank you.

Can't wait to start using and dissecting.

I like this theme! :D

Too bad the RoyaleVista look doesen't work, it looks nice. Maybe you can update the theme later with more looks? I have tried to create litestep themes but patience is not really my friend so I end up deleteing the theme.

EDIT: "Secret" feature found. You can drag around the taskbar icons by just holding down your left mouse button on a icon and dragging it.

Hehe, yeah i tried to create some schemes, but i suck at doing anything graphic. But the RoyaleVista style is on top of my list, it's been my favorite style for very long now ...

Is it possible for you to add either a volume control or a way to change the volume by scrolling on the winamp label?

Also reading album art from the song files itself would be very appreciated. Or extracting them automatically as you play. Also, resizable album art "popup" would be great(most of my album arts is in 500x500 and don't look that great).

A suggestion for your theme, THC4K. You might want to consider disabling the "Trash" button by default . On my XP SP3 box, the process of enumerating the items in my Recycle bin caused the CPU, RAM and Virtual Memory utilization for litestep.exe to be very high. Before all was said an done, litestep.exe was using 650MB our of 1GB of RAM, 1.4GB of 2GB of Virtual Memory and averaging about 92% of the CPU utilization.

Granted, I probably shouldn't leave so much junk in my Recycle Bin. Having (well having had) almost 20,000 items in there weighs Explorer down pretty good too. But with hard drives the size they are, it isn't hard to rack up a huge number of 'deleted' files without realizing it.

Now that I've got it all sorted, I can happily use Blank as my new default theme :-)

The only theme that worked out of the box with my 3 monitor setup. And i like this theme, too.

Very nice work, thanks.
