BOS.......... BoS is a replacement shell for Win Explorer. It replaces the drab gray start button and taskbar with a translucent, skinnable bar. BoS reimplements almost everything that Explorer does, including the taskbar, start menu, clock, system tray, and even desktop icons that support OLE drag and drop. UPDATE: Tin over at Desktopian has informed us this shell is currently available in source code only. According to Tin, "It's kind of fun to play with. Uses 'fake' transparency all over... nice effect.".....(free).....GO THERE!

Create hot-keys to switch between the desktops and have one set of windows/applications on one and a different set of windows/applications on another and flip between them instantly with a single keypress.
