Do you trade stocks?
If you've used any graphic apps you'd understand why. Photoshop isn't so bad on a single monitor but when I'm animating in 3DS Max using the track view, the track view alone can take up a monitor then I still need to see what's going on in the viewports. Same goes for compositing work in After Effects or Combustion. I usually have a monitor taken up just with the timeline. There's so many palattes for 3D or compositing work, it can get pretty insane. Of course you said normal person though, so I guess I don't count..

Gah, a 17"? I can't even look at a single monitor setup that has a monitor smaller than 20".

I NEED real-estate.

800 x 600. I have some blind folks in my house, and they complain whenever I switch the computer to 1024 x 768 .

I don't mind though, I've gotten used to it.

Oh, how I miss my dual setup at my previous job. For CAD, dual screens is a must!

It's taken me three years to get used to a single...

i've just downloaded litestep and it is cool

I'm using the adviced skin (simplicity) and it works really well. The only thing i regret is the lack of quick launch. It would have been really nice if all the bottom line could have been used for shortcuts.

i forgot : the winamp integration is wonderful

Can you disable it with a flick of a button? I want to try it but afraid if I hate it I won't be able to go back to normal windows easily.

"· Uninstalling LiteStep
Change the settings you changed when installing (above question) back to explorer.exe. This should have you running explorer again in no time. (I stress should.) Remove your directory containing your LiteSTEP related files, and *poof*, your LS free.

You can ALSO run Litestep as follows (from a command line). 'Litestep -uninstall'. That should fix all of the entries. LSDistro will also uninstall itself (look in your LSDistro directory for the .exe)."

I tried litestep a month or two back. I really, REALLY liked its cleanliness, but a few factors made me go back to explorer.

First, conflicts with 3d games and certain themes prevented me from spending some time off. Secondly, litestep would crash quite often. It got quite tiresome to keep on relaunching it. When I realized that I pressed CTRL alt delete, pressed new task and typed "litestep" almost instinctively, it was time to go.
