Windows Shell Replacement

MunkyÂ™ · 28-March-06, 11:40 PM

This is a pretty cool program, you can replace the entire Windows Shell. Its pretty cool but I havent tried it yet. Anyone have experience using it? I would expect it to be unstable no matter how fast your computer is.

I believe this was also on Digg a few days back... what do you guys think? Is it worth the download?

EDIT: Heres the Digg link. Has over 1200 diggs.

... and im worried for spyware, a few people on CNET Download.com said it has spyware but the editors of CNET gave it 4/5 stars.

Gotta say the 3dna thing is the biggest waste of resources I can think of. My desktop's as interesting as it's going to get. Those renders don't even look good and it ultimatley takes away functionality.

Just my opinion.

I like it but my friends have told me you get sick of it faster then you get sick of it. I guess its the same thing for every theme, but I always seem to be going back to the default theme time and time agian..

Google Litestep sometime. I've used it for years and I absolutely love it. Almost anything is possible with enough time and effort.

I gotta agree. Plus, for some reason, I really like programing litestep. It's fun to customize. I'm not very good at it, but I'm learning.
