Alternative Shells - Extasey - 11-06-2009

Is anyone else using one?

I've just gone off BBLClean's Blackbox and moved onto LiteStep.

For those who don't know what a shell is:

It pretty much replaces explorer.exe in Windows (not sure if there are different ones for different OS'). In the picture, notice how there is no start bar or thin blue task bar. All of the navigation is done from right clicking the desktop (forgot to screenshot that), most of them are like this.

I breifly used Litestep on my eeepc to get a more minimal look but it started to get in the way a bit for me.

Yeah it can be a bit annoying, I just changed mine so it looks like a tripped out explorer shell.
