Well it's kinda interesting but I wouldn't use it - I guess I'm more of an icon liking guy...
Well what else can I say: It's green so the name fits. I'd also be confused with the lack of "windows" as for me it's hard to distinguish which floating text part belongs to what...
I guess that's just two different kinds of tastes
But in any case, through the Plug-in Interface there will surely be some "pages" and "widgets" in the future that take a different approach on this. What you see here would just be the default package that comes with the base installation.
Looks interesting
Nice design, simple and green.
I want to see how windows looks like with your shell
On which OS does it work? windows is clear, but which one XP or 7?
Thanks!
I am testing on Windows 7, but nothing speaks against using it on XP if you have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed. At least that's theory. Of course I will be testing that before I release it
awesome design, but (!) most of it can be achieved with rainmeter. except for that pages thingy, which is the reason why i have two screens.
still looking foreward to this. a LOT.
Merci!
Rainmeter eats up a lot of CPU power though once you have several widgets open. I have been using rainmeter for a while, until I noticed that games ran a lot faster if I end Rainmeter first. Right now, even with the animated background and everything, it barely comes up to 2% CPU.
Wow, this looks really cool! I've honestly never heard of replacing the Windows shell before, so I've got some really n00bish questions to ask:
1> Where do you even begin to learn how to write something like this?
2> Can a well-written and/or simple shell improve performance/startup-times?
I recently got a new PC, so I'm keen to do some experimenting on the old one. This means I'll probably give MintShell a go when it is ready/available, but I'd also like to have a go at doing some of that kind of stuff myself

Thank you!
1. Google, google, google, time, experience, time, frustration, anger management therapy, time and more google.
2. If it is well written, it can improve performance, but startup time really depends mostly on what applications you have running in auto-start and which services are started when your PC runs, as well as your Hard Drive (e.g. SSD > HDD, performance-wise).
Looks really nice imo, definately gonna try it.
Thanks!
And an new Page today, the media player. Still have to figure out where to put the seeker bar though, that's a tough one. Don't wanna overcomplicate things or overcrowd the screen with stuff.
