Full press release : Gladiators Software announces today the release of Aston Shell 1.9.6, the highly regarded Explorer software replacement for Windows 98/2000/XP/2003/Vista.
Aston shell is an entirely original replacement for the Windows user environment, allowing users to modify and redesign their entire desktop environment, from the start menu and taskbar, to innovative new elements for the desktop and more. This is achieved without sacrificing system stability or resource usage, and actually outperforms the corresponding Microsoft program.
The desktop and taskbar environment takes computer usage to a new level, allowing both the professional and non-professional user complete control over the appearance of their PC, by either utilizing the wide variety of existing themes freely available for download from the astonshell.com website or many other sites, or by designing something completely new for themselves. In this regard, the Aston replacement shell again sets itself, apart. Gone are the days of modifying mysterious configuration files - Aston Shell comes with a comprehensive set of tools allowing quick and simple customisation, easily understood by even the newest computer user.
Aston shell’s highly optimized code is written to accomplish all of this, and yet still provide a very high standard of performance and stability. It may be run on older hardware configurations without any performance penalty, and for more modern hardware setup, adds additional capabilities such as 32 bit animated icons, clear-type icon text, and XP style system tray not available in earlier operating systems. “Plug-ins” are available which allow the user to further extend the usefulness and enjoyment of their machine, providing such tools as desktop weather, configurable screen-side and desktop toolbars, resource monitoring, analogue clocks, and much much more! The whole Aston experience is placed literally at your fingertips, with a powerful hot-key manager that allows the control of a vast array of system functions, commands and programs with a simple key combination.
Aston shell is also fortunate to have a knowledgeable and friendly support community, where tips, tricks, help and troubleshooting are dispensed free of charge, and in a supportive and welcoming environment. The community atmosphere is stressed as a contrast to other frequently intimidating technically orientated sites, and this is yet another area where Aston Shell sets itself apart.
Time-limited demo versions of Aston can be downloaded from http://www.astonshell.com, and single or bulk licenses may be purchased at the website.
