Talisman Desktop 2.7 Beta2 Released

Published on October 21, 2003 By Black Xero In WinCustomize News

Talisman Desktop" (Talisman) is a desktop alternative and shell-replacement for Windows 9xBlack Xero and NT/2000/XP, capable of transforming your desktop into an interface organized as you like. The program's basic purpose: Launch other applications in a new interface, instead of the standard Windows desktop. But the opportunities presented by "Talisman" are much broader. The program does not limit your computer fantasies - draw anything you like and arrange it as your imagination tells you to. When you get tired of looking at the same screen - change it all over again. If you are in a good mood - throw flowers and favorite photos on the screen. If you're not feeling so bright - leave the black screen with lonely Norton Commander or winking Bill Gates. Create invisible buttons - they will open those places and the pictures, known only to you. Construct galleries of the best pictures and photos. Simply create your own little world, created by and for you, instead of staring at the same lines of icons on your desktop, year after year.

New Features
1. Fixed problem of loading default themes in Win9x systems.
2. Added Up/Down arrows control in TOE.
3. Fixed align error in plugins.
4. Added "video", "calculator" and "photo" icons in shared "../icons" folder.
5. Added support of ICLs created in Win9x systems.
6. Fixed "Mute" problem in lvolume plugin on some Win9x system.
AND MANY MANY MORE............

DesktopX is a cool shell but somtimes consumes a lot of cpu usage.some of the skins are buggy too.Aston shell is so buggy and unstable.it took me a 2 days to get wots goin on in aston command lines and right clicks.Talisman dont have a good animation and you have to log off everytime you want to switch between shells.on the other hand most of shells hide desktop icons or theres no plain access to icon desktops.people like me that are using their desktops so much are not satisfied with these kinda shells.Yet I havent found a cool and complete performed shell.we all know that MS standard shell is so boring but useful;)I think programers should think of changing GUI in stead of changing the way windows' shell works.
