Is it really imprudent to exercise free speech, and to promote change and self-directed thought? i suppose that's why governments kill people.

If I remember correctly, transparent backgrounds could be used for both sections in both applications. tho LS and DX do allow for the text in the Tasks. So your assertions of their capabilities is less than stellar, as it would not be hard in either case to replicate that style of look. With shell replacements, I recommended DX as a safer alternative.ДЄs for what Hydrotemplar was asking? DX and LS are both quite capable to run a few icons and a task/systray, with little resources used. But without knowing off hand his capability for working Yes a shell replacement would be a generally more resource freeД®nvironment. ( I have seen LS and Astonshell themes that were so loaded, they made explorer look small). As with any program, GUI, shell, the more you pile on to it. I for one have played with most GUI's, Extensions, shells and found DX to be quite reasonable on the resource end. I was there for the Birth of one.Д®verybody forms differing opinions of the same item, based on their needs and or wants at the time. I know very well the time line of Shell replacements. Notice the wink after the statement? An intentional misnomer to illustrate a point. My statement of 'LS being the Original', was deliberately sophomoric and inflammatory. What is 'original' about litestep? sure it's been around for over 10 years, but there were literally dozens of shell replacements available before it. don't get me wrong, i ran the stardock suite for ages, and loved it, but my computer is getting on in years, and i can't afford a new one, so i've switched my focus from a pretty desktop to a useful one so i can better use my RAM on other things. you are all about eye candy, while emerge focuses on simplicity an ease of use. anyway it's not like emerge is real competition for stardock. and HG_Eliminator, well what can i say, i'm just not a very classy guy. but if you really want to complete your new emerge system, go get a program called Launchy (or Keybreeze, which has more features, but is less pretty and slightly more irritating to use because its demand for perfect spelling). your screen looks great! and i agree that objectdock (or rocketdock, or rklauncher) is better than emerge launcher.

very handy addition to emerge tasks when you start to get a lot of windows open at once. if you edit that menu, you can add a folder called Tasks that will display all the running tasks (open windows). if so, you can access the right-click menu even if you have a window maximized. i assume you have emerge tasks reserving an edge of your desktop. Hydrotemplar, i miss the text in the taskbar too, but here's a tip.
