Do people use alternative shells (i.e. Litestep, Aston, Talisman) here?
Personally I love Litestep because the vast ammount of "awsome" themes and it's minimal RAM/CPU usage (theme-relative however), and the configuration freedom.

Well, I'm using GeoShell, have used it for years now, and I won't stop using it for a long while yet.

Development on Geoshell has kinda slowed down though...

yup. before this i've been using this pair up with hoverdesk. but later change back to hoverdesk+basic windows as my family's constant nagging of where-to-find-this/that then again at that time its one pc per house. now its more like one pc per room so can go nuts of doing customization.

try pairing up lightstep / samurize. its really nice.

Oh, I go by Litestep and Konfabulator.
Samurize... was just annoying with the configs, unlike Litestep.

konfabulator = its fixed. no fun at all. samurize can skin by yourself mo fun.

used litestep before.. now i'm lazy

konfabulator is one hungry mofo.. not good at resource usage.. they got tonnes of widget but they're all the same.. bleh..

been using bb4win before this.
loving it because of its minimalism.
