Hey! Mr e-sushi! I remember the controvosies! aaah, the good ol' days. :-)

Yep, from what I understand, it's pretty much dead. Unless, of course, 
I'm not getting any emails either.

Re: ping


I know I'm not, and I don't know of any others that are (that used to 
be). A bit of a shame, I'd love to use it, but it's just not updated and 
things just don't work with it these days.  I'm finding that stock Win7 
with VirtuaWin, AltMove, and HotKeyz does what I'm after.

Re: ping

Indeed... "aaah, the good ol' days"... the rants and raves... the 
trolling. LOL

Those days were cool.

So, what happened? Did Vista and Windows 7 kill the need for replacement 
shells or did I miss something and everyone is using Twitter nowadays 
and I'm just using "ancient technology" here?

Re: ping

Oh well, back in the days the "state of the step" was showing first 
signs of death... but I didn't expect everything to fade away.

Makes me wonder where all those skinners and themers have gone.

On the other hand you're right: MS is so much more stable than back in 
the original Win98 era. It's just... I miss my skins. ;)

Re: ping

Wow, that's pretty sad. I hadn't even realized I was still subscribed  
to the lsml from this address.

I have to say that most of the reasons I began to use LS don't exist  
anymore, but it still has quite a bit of utility. I still have xp on  
one of my computers, and six months ago I got seriously sick of  
explorer, and just happened to trip over the folder containing all of  
the loose-screws stuff. Now I have an entire interface built into a  
20x200px space again. Whether it's being actively worked on or not,  
it's stable, it works, and it does what it's supposed to.

But, it's definitely sad to see how small the community has gotten.  
That was always the best part of it, arguments and all. Not many  
things will get me to do data entry for days and days, but apparently,  
this bunch was enough.

Re: ping

It is sad. It's such a good interface. The lack of a stable 64 bit 
version is why I'm not using it anymore. I use bb4win on my x64 
machines. Works a charm, skinnable, also designed after NextStep.
I'm not any kind of coder, but if I were updating LS to 64 bits would be 
a fun project.
I suspect when I eventually move to Win7 I'll forgo an alternative shell 
all together. I hear generally good things about the interface.

Re: ping

I still use LS on both my machines.  I kept them as XP.  I even have been
tweaking under the hood with themes I use.  Heck, I'm working on syncing the
two machines with dropbox.  I'm planning on writing some articles at some
point (maybe to publish on teknidermy), but I tend to never finish my
editorials.  ^.^;  I want to do one on what and how many hotkeys people set,
just for curiosity and idea sharing.

Speaking of Tek, crae still uses LS too.

I'm still here, but I often (not always ^.~) figure things out for myself.

Laters... Red
