@sahil_blues: thanx man! sometimes one gets tired of the windows blinds and style xp and their huge ram consumption. so i just ventured out in the net and got Talisman and then i just saw some of the most beautiful desktops ever built.

@biplav
Talisman replaces the explorer.exe, which is the main file in windows graphics user interface, that always showed the illegal operation prompt in the win98,..
if you replace that isnt there chance of making some system file curupt
btw i have a backup of my C: drive usin NortonGhost,
so, i dont have to worry that much but curious!!

@sahil blues- i dont get u.
right click anywhere in the desktop after loading talisman , goto settings
and then shell switcher
. thats it. ur computer will restart and next time the explorer.exe wouldnt load.
else if rightclick doesnt work then goto start button(of talisman and not windows) and do the above said.
if u are talking of changing the look of icons and start menu then u have to go to the themes section in www.lighttek.com
there u have to download the selected themes - whatever u like. unzip it and place it in
c:\program files\talisman2\themes\(assuming c is the drive where talisman is installed)
try that and pm me if not success ful

rollcage, if done properly, u hav nothing 2 worry from changing d shell evn in Win98.
dont kno wht u mean but I started switching shell when no 1 evn heard of XP and Win2k was in beta. But I had some problems with LiteStep & BlackBox
So far Aston is the only safe shell I have seen - not much variation in environment as talisman, but the humblest resource eater and considerably stable and they evn give u a free license if u design a skin 4 it.
It comes with lots of plugins plus supports all major LiteStep Plugs - so u get unlimited possibilities. Round clock, calender, weather, cool launchers whatevr u need

The flyakite transformation pack ... works on the similar lines of the Longhorn transformaton pack.
Its not that much attractive.
@biplav
You are right man........thanks for that
The Talisman is gr8....
it really changes your windowsxp..........
there are some themes which convert it to MAC/Apple PC in the real sense.
Talisman......rocks

biplav said:the only thing with talisman(other than its superb/fabulous desktop changing features is that it is a trial version(30 DAYS). so we got to make it till we want use it -so another job is to be done.
in the past doing "another job" on talisman made my system unstable... that's why I switched over 2 Aston
So is it OK with talisman now

@ biplav i am using a theme in talisman which has a digital clock....but iam fond of an analogue one which is present in another theme....how can i get the analogue clock of the other theme work in the theme ive put??....also i think you didnt get what i wrote in my last post....heres another try:-
see when you put a theme through windows blinds, it changes the APPEARANCE of the opened windows....like colors for selected items, the panels and tool bars according to the theme itself, which can also be done through the usual procedure >>> Right Click on desktop, select Display Proprties and then Appearance....but Talisman doesn't change the things i've just mentioned even in shell mode (I suppose)....so please tell me the procedure to do the same if its possible....
PHEW!!!
