Good Desktop shell?

[Wishmaster]

Hello!

I'm looking for a good freeware desktop shell for Windows. (not BlackBox -
too nerdish for my taste).

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

If you're looking for functionality w/ minimalism, then I would suggest
Geoshell (www.geoshell.org)

but if you're looking for functionality w/ Bling then try Litestep.

I already mentioned the one I'm using and it is too limited for most
people here. For simple and zero setup this is the best I've found:

(I really liked astonshell but didn't want shareware)

I didn't like this - I've found I need a BIG task bar that shows me
everything I am running, because I forget what I am running.

LiteStep seems ideal, because it can be highly customized with themes.

Thanks for all hints!
