By non-shareware do you mean freeware or what?? DesktopX is pretty cool but it ain't free. $49.95 if memory serves. I've got it and like it a lot. Get tired of the same old, same old, windows crap...

A mind is a terrible thing to baste... I find marinating it with beer is much less terrible.

There are loads of freeware ones.

Or go to www.google.com (http://www.google.com) and search for "Windows Shell Replacement Freeware" and see what you can find.

Personally, I use LiteStep. Seems to be one of the largest ones, and I haven't had any compatability/stability problems with it whatsoever. Never crashed on me (MUCH more than I can say for Exploder... hehe)
Anyway, the image is at http://pita.d3fx.com/images/Desktop.jpg if you wanna take a gander. Email me at pkopp@mines.edu if you want a link so you can DL my version/theme in LS, or if you have any basic questions about it. Otherwise, check http://www.litestep.com and http://www.ls2k.org/ for more info/downloads/etc.
