i know we have a section for shells and such... but i cant find it... :)
heres my latest work... used someone elses theme as the basic template and have been modifying it all night

everything on the desktop is single click.. along with windows explorer being set that way as well... doesnt even remotely feel like windows anymore...
(thats a damn good thing)

(i modified the lambda symbol with an "S" instead of a "2" and stuck it in the corner because this system is only used for source based games)

Damn, that's quite beautiful. How did you accomplish it? I'm not really familiar with such customization techniques and what-not. What platform is it on? XP? How does it run? Through a skinning program or something?

running XP SP3...my own custom (LiTHXP) edition (whackloads of stuff slipstreamed) and using litestep... which is a full shell replacement.. and it runs smoother than explorer..
and seems to take the same if not less resources...

Very nice. I've seen a lot of cool things done with shell replacements over on lifehacker but never got around to trying it myself..
