^nice

now i've ditched the explorer shell altogether - modifying the registry to load a different shell at boot

this is litestep as a shell, with rocketdock providing the dock, keeping the stacks plugin, but ditching the kkmenu plugin for the dock, and the avedesk widgets, because litestep handles all that very adequately:

you'll probably need to rclick -> view image, there's some nice clock/ram/uptime/hidable system tray stuff happening.

i removed the 'system tray' and 'start menu' bullshit from the dock as well after the screenshots

it's annoying - nearly all of microsoft's COM plugin sh*t is now gone, but when i get to i.e. the configure display settings, i'm back to explorer. maybe i'm asking too much of windows, i'm essentially asking it to be my own obscene hybrid of leopard and KDE lol

I was just about to reply with "There is almost no way i would have been able to guess that was Windows!" when i saw this final coment. :lol:

well, it isn't windows as far as the shell or interface is concerned. at least as much as is possible.
amusingly, it takes up about 2/3 of the memory that windows explorer does. i reckon i could get it lower if i loaded the dock before the shell
