Aston
-
Version
1.9.6
Aston Shell is a flexible and powerful Desktop
replacement application, which lets you save your
computer's resources while giving your Desktop a
unique look. Aston completely replaces your old
Desktop with a new one, providing numerous additional
features and saving computer resources for more
necessary tasks. By installing Aston, you acquire a
lot more than just a fancy look, you get a more
efficient way of using your computer. Aston looks
similar to the Desktop you're already familiar with,
but its components offer much more functionality:
-Toolbars (side panels on the left and on the right
sides of the screen) offers easy access to the
documents, applications and web links you need the
most.
-Multi-state Taskbar buttons let you know exactly if a
certain window is active or minimized (they are also
adapted to the width of the Taskbar and are thus
easier to manage: no precious screen space is wasted.)
-Aston Quick launch Panel can be as small as a single
button: you get easy access to your shortcuts without
turning the Taskbar into a garbage dump.
-You can hide and restore System Tray icons with a
single click or a keystroke.
-Keep your Desktop clean: use the Panel plug-in to
organize your files without turning the Desktop into a
dumping ground.
-Desktop icons can be of any size, any form (thanks to
alpha-blending) and can be animated as well. Standard
limitations are gone!
-Aston Disks and the Recycle Bin let you visually
monitor their fill states.
-Multi-monitor support.
-A built-in Hotkey Manager makes your work with Aston
even more pleasant and effective.
Whether you have a five year old PC or a powerful high-
end system, Aston is always the right choice. Aston,
running with its most feature packed eye candy Themes,
usually consumes about half the RAM that Windows XP
Desktop normally needs and gives you much more in
return. Aston is already known to be one of the most
stable Windows shells ever.
