@Shell is a shell replacement which means that you can still use all your Windows programs but with a different interface, not the Start bar for example.

When we started designing @Shell we had to think of a part in Windows that was not taken up by programs, we found only one decent place for this. In Windows programs at the top there is a bar showing the program name and there control buttons (Minimize, Maximize and Close). In programs there is always quite a big space in between the program name and these buttons, so we decided that would be the best place to put @Shell, of course it can be moved to other parts of the screen but that is the best place.

There is a new update to @Shell and a new skin (screen) released.

Also I have put these programs I made online:

Keylogger - a program that records all keystrokes and is disguised as a folder, so you can find passwords...

Deskontop - a program like the special folders on @Shell but can be used with any shell and is skinable.

I have loads of emails about @Shell , the things I am going to be working on now are making it dockable and making a better taskmanager. Also I will be making a standalone program like the Desktop folders dialog in @Shell that you can use with any shell , I have just finished this cool keylogging program that you can use to find passwords. I will put it online somethime, I am away to Thursday as well.

A new release of @Shell is out!!! It has major bug fixs and features, there is now a CPU usage real time graph and the desktop can now float in its own window on top of other programs! See the screen shots now! I have also added two new skins, A grass one (screen) and a embossed one. There is a update for people who have downloaded the old version that was skinable and older versions need to get the new version.

I have added a new skin for @Shell all the buttons are circular and look major slick, see a screenshot here and download here.

If you have made any skins of your own email to me, in a zip file and I will put them online, include your name and email if you want to be seen.

14/12/99 - 6:00 pm GMT

@Shell is now skinnable!! Also you can install to any directory and there are major bug fixs. Click here to find out how to make your own skins - its really easy.

13/12/99 - 9:00 pm GMT

I have started making @Shell skinnable, it should be finished by the endof the week, also you will be able to install it to any directory.

I just found a really cool thing, if you run Winamp at the same time as @Shell the CPU meter moves with the music!

If @Shell did not work send me and email also if you find any bugs or have ideas for a new update.

12/12/99 - 8:00 pm GMT

I have halved the size of the installation file(now 1.75meg instead if 3.3meg), some of the files that Visual Basic said I needed I really didn't.

11/12/99 - 9:00 pm GMT

@Shell beta released, get it form the download page! Its awsome and almost fully working, I have taken out the the parts that need work so start using it!
