Vista Shell (GUI) Replacements

Just a matter of time before the shell replacements started rolling out for Vista. I used to be a big Object Desktop and Stardock fan and tried many of the others out there, but stability and performance were always an issue that kept me on it full time.

Here’s a new one in private beta, likely commercial but is taking on a near replica of OSX look but with vista colors (at least by default). I only have screen shots to judge it by at this point until an open beta appears.

If you know of another shell/GUI replacement for Vista please make a comment.  Thanks.

  1. 1 DaH-RaT (ur good at finding me...not)

    theres some branch off of blackbox thats pretty nice but for vista i use emergedesktop. emergedesktop isnt as good as cairo and not as customizable as blackbox in my opinion but cairo isnt out yet.
    theres also other shells that really didnt make it to the big scene
    like one is called Aston shell (i tried it but really didnt like it much…it wasnt all that impressive) but nonetheless i still give respect to the creators because at least it isnt fully windows when you isntall a shell replacement.
