Well you know, i don't use LS so i made a open request to anyone who could help me with the review, and split was the one, thanks a lot man.

+++++++++++++++++

An excellent emulation of the default windows explorer shell, with some nice add-ons. If you want the benefits of a litestep popup and lower memory usage, but still like the explorer setup, give this a try.

**Creativity**

This theme is everything we wish explorer could be. Its an almost perfect replacation of the standard taskbar/startmenu, with the exception of a quicklaunch, and a clock (as it is in the floating box). The taskbar and system tray work flawlessly, and the startmenu icons are very easily customizable, if you know how to use any type of graphics editor.

The floating box is not exactly anything new, but is arranged in such a way that is both compact, and very stylish at the same time.

**Usuability**

Usuability is top notch, it works exactly as the default explorer shell would (or should). If you have ever used a windows OS, then you will have no problem with this theme. Something different from the default explorer shell, is the floating Ls box. This box contains a Virtual window manager, winamp controls, and the time/date. All elements of this box are executed perfectly. One draw back is, there is no option to disable to box, if you so desrired. And even if there was, it would take your clock away, as it is no in the taskbar. Also the entries in the popup seemed to be spread out vertically just a tad bit too far, and the highlighted state of the entries is barely noticable.

**Artwork**

A theme inspired by a great winamp skin by Frosted Flames, this theme integrates perfectly with that skin. Every thing is very uniform and matches perfectly as it should. It's stylish, and minimal at the same time, sure to apease crowds of both preferences.

Thanks again to Split for this extensive review.

It's simple, intuitive, it works, it looks nice (if a touch bland). The config files are also well made and the main one well organized (practically self-documenting!), ripe for personal modification. This is an excellent example of how a simple theme should be made.
