#25 By the way, I agree with Frogboy

I am very partial to Litestep ....

well ... yes. if you need your children´s help to use your video recorder (or vacuum cleaner) then you better keep your fingers away from the Step.

So I see this thread died about four years ago, but I'm wondering, as others have in this space, whether it's worth my time and system resources to run Aston Shell. Like others, I recently d/l'd the free version of the Shell from Giveawayoftheday.com, and I'm contemplating running it; the variety of negative comments posted when it was available make me somewhat hesitant. Does anyone have experience using recent versions of this software (1.95)? Does it play well with the latest versions of WindowBlinds and other OD components?

#29 check out replies #5 and #17. It is all about taking chances.

I have not run Astonshell but have run their new Aston2 Menu which is pretty cool and it works with Windowblinds. As the others said before, Astonshell is much different then Windowblinds in that it is a shell replacement and Windowblinds I think could be seen as more of a shell enhancement.

The best thing to do with any and all programs such as these is run the different programs for a bit and figure out what you like best. Everyone is different and you will eventually figure out which is best for you (be that performance and/or appearance, ect).

On a lighter note, I lived in Aston, Victoria Road, Birmingham UK about six years ago -- sorry guys, just came in from work it's been one of those days -- crazeee !!
