    I've tested a lot of desktop managers. On my opinion, Aston is clearly one of the best.
    You can't install it .. look at it and after 5mn say 'yes it's good' or 'no, it's bad'. You have to make your own settings, use it for several hours or days .. and then .. well you will see that it's a very good piece of software. Very few problems with win32 (never used with Vista) ... unfortunately, the windows x64 compatibility is not perfect.
    Aston can not be compared with Samurize; clearly not the same objectives.

    a very nice shell with a lot of features. i think it has a shiny future but the skins are not very beautifull but you can make a lott out of it. sorry for my bad english.
    but on the other hand, you can also use 'samurize', its free (ok, not a shell) and highly customuzable! a lott better then this...

    sorry for my bad english

    Man, is it ugly.

    Just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should be done.
