How about using LiteStep for CarPuter Control?

I was last night trying first time LiteStep shell replacement and noticed that its quite fast and higly configurable and theres module support and alot of those for download also.

I was wandering if it's possible to make hole CarPuter user interface with LiteStep?

Now lets think, we could control whole OS with it and make it work nicely with touchscreen controlling winamp for playing music, video etc. and then could change all external programs windows like windowblinds do...

I think this would be really nice and if somebody likes the idea and is ready to make some great modules for example navigation, obd2, radio, database management etc. i think this would be the most complete GUI for CarPuter.

I have no kind of coding skills so i need to get some people along with this.

Is this crazy idea?

Please be free to comment.

I've been using litestep for well over a year now and i have also thought about this. but, a lot of litestep is right-clicking on the desktop and it would be hard with a touchscreen. but litestep is highly configurable and leaves a smaller memeory footprint than explorer.exe

Lilliput drivers have that button change button mayby somebody would code a little module that would change touchscreen button to right button with hotkey or small button in desktop to change button so its easier to use LiteStep.

Try that!
I'm waiting to see some sample screenshots.
