Access Nocturnal
Raphael | 1024x768 | 268kb
Not a bad theme, but not that great either. I like how he ripped off the popups from blacklit2. However, he tries to make as much use of his desktop as possible, and that's what counts.

steeef | 1024x768 | 379kb
Well what can I say. This is my favorite theme, obviously, since I made it. I was particularly pleased with the way the shortcuts in the bottom left turned out. Getting rid of my wharf mods was a big step, but it was fun.

Dan Gilbert | 1024x768 | 880kb
Ok, this theme has wharf folders. So sue me. Other than that, though, he's got basically nothing on his screen. Great use of colors. Not too flashy, but pleasing to the eye.

Brad finally released a theme, and it's pretty damn good. Sure it's greyscale, but he does a good job with it. And the picture in the middle is scary, which is also good.

red|rect | 1024x768 | 620kb
Another crazy theme by red|rect. Pretty flashy, maybe even too flasy. Nice wharf, though. However, his use of purple is a bit staggering.

Ruddigger | 800x600 | 2476kb
Hrm, can't say much about this one. Never really did get that whole "Hey, let's use E icons in LiteStep" craze. Nice shortcut bar, however.

Enigma v3.0
c0mrade | 800x600 | 871kb
Not too fond of the color scheme, but there was a lot of work put into the layout, and I like that. It's a Neobar-inspired theme, but it has its uniqueness nonetheless.

mr_eh | 1024x768 | 91kb
As you can tell from the file size, this is a pretty minimalistic theme. Features mr_eh's ansi shortcut thing. In the screenshot, he has his wharf bar hidden, giving him even more desktop space to work with. Nice job, IMO.

Here's the second theme from mr_eh. Good layout, very simple. Popup and Hotkey driven. Uses the wharf for modules. He sure loves his ansi.

NoMoTiV | 1152x864 | 362kb
Looks good. Very minimalistic (looks like just popups and hotkeys). I like the colors in the background and popups. No complaints, except a personal one: not too fond of Anime-related themes.

Iris v1.0
Optykal | any | 265kb
And here we have Optykal's first LiteStep theme. Great work. BTW, don't mean to take credit away from him, but I helped out with a lot of the engineering stuff, so I know how great this theme is firsthand.

LiteStep Digital
Eduardo Sousa | 800x600 | 530kb
I mainly included this one just so you couldn't say I left it out. It is clearly minimalistic, even by Spudge's standards. The popup menu is nice. He doesn't even use a vwm. Crazy guy.

Minimal Blue
Rudyatek | 800x600 | 307kb
Nice. He tries to put as much stuff on the screen without cluttering it. L-ement takes up littlespace. And i like the use of the tile from propaganda.

Killarny | 1024x768 | 994kb
This was perhaps one of the first ever minimalistic themes for LiteStep .24. It should be noted, however, that the screenshot shown is on of my old ones, since I couldn't find an original. Ignore the gay background. He did a nice job with the shortcuts, and the mouseovers flow nicely.

Morph LE
Dweezil | 800x600 | 433kb
Well, since this is based on morpheusX's original theme, it's automatically good. I used to be a grayscale person myself, and I think I'm headed back there. Neat stuff. Also, Dweezil wants me to mention morpheusX as an author as well. It's only fair.

Morph SE
morpheusX | 1024x768 | 341kb
Well, here's the theme many people I've talked to have been waiting for. Morpheus finally released it, along with some new changes, including lscommand.dll as a command line, and the calendar. IMO, this is the cleanest looking theme on here. Great job, Morpheus.

NeoBar
morpheusX | 1024x768 | 657kb
Well, again morpheusX brings us an amazing theme. The engineering behind this one is even more complex than the last one. Now instead of using lsexecpad, he's using limpid's on-top shortcuts. Plus, he changed the background (much better than the last one, IMO).Great stuff I must say.

NeoStep
Deth | 1024x768 | 187kb
Looks like this guy took an idea from NeoPlanet and ran with it. Nice adaptation IMO. Again, we see a shortcut menu on the left. Nice looking popups, though i don't see the need for separations in each menu.

neurojunction
rew | 1600x1200 | 851kb
a BIG theme by rew. Sort of a followup to his pipeline theme. Better use of shortcuts in this one, though. And the popup menu is better. Notice he's using my zork theme for MyPad in the screenshot. hehe.

pipeline
rew | 1600x1200 | 327kb
And here we have yet another HUGE rew theme. This one actually came before neurostep. Nice background, good use of space (but then, with that much desktop space, it's hard to abuse it). The popup is a little space-wasting, but not that bad.

SharQue | 800x600 | 668kb
Well, nice use of transparent shortcuts. The popup is a bit ugly though. And I bet I'd get tired of the background after a while.

PrayStation
Joshua Davis | 1280x1024 | 209kb
And here we have a huge theme. Very nice layout, however. Again, we see the menu of shortcuts on the left. Little use of colors, but what color is there is nice.

saeder | 1280x1024 | 448kb
Hmm, this is a mighty dark theme. I like it though. Simple, yet functional.

Sentimental Grafitti
Fathom | 1024x768 | 299kb
Well, great graphics on this one. One thing I think might get annoying is the background after a while, but I never used it that long to find out. Another shortcut menu, but this time they're blank until you do a mouseover on them.

SGI Octane
Praxxis | 640x480 | 634kb
Well, this was created for a simple purpose, so it would be evil to say it looks gay. On the plus side, it works for those with small monitors, low resolutions, etc.

Cuchullain | 1024x768 | 421kb
Like the name says: simple. I like the grayscale color scheme, and the hideable shortcutbar. Nice work.

NitroWeb | 1024x768/800x600 | 1166kb
Personal opinions aside, I have to say this theme deserves a try. A lot of work went into it, as the double-step.rc distribution shows. This one also uses a shortcut bar, but it is elloquently designed. Nice job.

Sleek
red|rect | 1024x768 | 623kb
A bit flashy, but it works. I particularly like the colors in the wharf. Looks like it's primarily popup and hotkey driven.

SnarkBar
Snark | 1280x1024 | 404kb
Not bad. Almost not minimal, but it's saving space. One note about this theme: it does not come with the woman you see here, which is good, because porn and litestep don't mix.

VipeR's Grave
]VipeR[ | 1024x768 | 170kb
This one's stretching it a bit for a minimalistic theme, but it works nicely. Shortcut menu on the top-left is nice. However, I'm not much a fan of the popups.

Vital Status
Fathom | 1024x768 | 535kb
This theme relys mostly on the shortcut menu you see on the left. The wharf was only used for the vwm. Good use of space overall.

Voyager
John Boyd II | 1024x768 | 1358kb
Well, hrm. This theme is pretty nice. Never was much of a Voyager fan. However, I like his use of desktop shortcuts. Deskmods was a nice touch too.

WebOS
Lowspirit | 800x600 | 435kb
Good stuff. I like the Mac feel of the desktop. Looks like a good Morph-type theme for those that enjoy the feel of WebOS.

Zues | 1152x864 | 1421kb
Hmm, very nice implementation of the Gnome panel... Could do without the wharf-like popups, but they serve their purpose. The panel takes up little desktop space in the process.
