Ack, it's all gone nasty. I tried downloading some themes from
ls-universe. I'm getting lots of DLL errors and Litestep keeps
refusing to start. For example, with the theme "RockSolid-xpc v1.0":
* Firstly I get errors about xPaintClass-1.0 being missing. I think
this is just an oversight in the theme - I'm assuming it's supposed to
tell NetLoadModule to fetch this module before loading the others and
it doesn't. Anyway, I downloaded it manually and put it in the modules
folder.
* Now I get a whole bunch of errors that all say "Error: Could not
locate module. Please check your configuration." I get this for the
following modules:
C:\LiteStep\modules\xtaskbar-2.0.dll
C:\LiteStep\modules\xtray-2.0.dll
C:\LiteStep\modules\xlabel-4.0.dll
C:\LiteStep\modules\xpopup-2.0.dll
All of these files appear to exist in the paths specified. I don't
know why it's saying this.

I tried another theme from the same site, EcyStep, and it seemed to do
nothing at all other than start litestep.exe. I couldn't see any
on-screen elements.

Are these just broken themes? Or am I having bigger problems? I used
Omar's installer. Should I have used the dist.ru one? Do I need more
up-to-date core/modules/something?
