Aqua-Soft ForumsLadys & Gentlemen:
There is a new shell based in avedesk: Aveshell 
Here is the link (if u want download):
Happy New Shell 
[Release] AVESHELL is here!!
Is there any more information? what is it... what does it do... screen shots?
I downloaded the file and it said it was for Samurize... ?
Its late, I'm tired I'll have another look tomorrow.
As of right now, it is powered by Samurize. When AveDesk 1.2 is released along with SysStats, we should see it change.

my screenshot with WIP Aqua skin
So, what your saying is this basically changes the whole layout of your computer and makes it more customizable then Windows is by default? I see great possibilities for this. Great job guys.
Eventually it should. Hopefully Betaguy can get around to giving a more proper answer than that.
very interesting...definately looking forward to using this. just the png graphics alone make this exciting! 
Hmmm shouldn't this be in the Samurize forum??
EDIT: whoops, looks like it uses Samurize AND AveDesk... intriguing!
sketching, is it possible to get a tutorial that implements all the things in Betaguy's screenshots? All I can get are those 5 boxes that come in the readme.. =/
interesting...
Very interesting...looking good!
Looks very interesting.....hope more skins.....=P
This is very unique..the originality is remarkable.
I installed everything and loaded it up and was surprised but also a little lost. All the links and configs were not set up properly (my fault I know) but also none of my other startup apps loaded so I was kind left high and dry with no way to load anything up.
I'm going to set up a seperate boot for this so I can play around alot more - while still being able to use this as my main box.
The potential is amazing - I'll be happier when it is integrated with AveDesk 1.2 as I'm not a big fan of Samurize.
Great work though.
The startup apps are all defined using ShellOn in the Scripts tab. Just keep hitting the "Add Program" button and link to everything you want. Then reboot.
Not a fan of Samurize?! I'll let that slide...for now.
Samurize is a very powerful tool - its just my brain can't understand it all - thats the only reason...
i was wondering, can all this be done using objectbar instead?
Actually this can be done using DesktopX but the full version is shareware. This is a great new idea. Im surprised Ave doesnt completely implement this into AveDesk and call it version 2....
You guys rock though...I mean I have the worst timing in the world....Oh well.....plenty of these for *nix
EDIT: Does this come with a Visual designer tool, or will it have one? If not is this done thru xml and xsl files or is this simply ini files? The skins look like they took alot of work. Very nice guys. Good luck.
The "dialogs" are all Samurize configs for now. They use Samurize's config editor, which may seem like alot for the beginner but really isn't complicated at all. Alot of the real work is done using third-party programs such as ShortPopUp.
hehe. "you need to upgrade your brain to be capatible with this new software" what a nice joke. it has tons of potential, and i hope it will be just as powerful as litestep and hopefully more easier to customize. just remember to make it easy to use with icon packager, objectdock, windowblinds, and objectbar. that's the issue with many shell replacement programs.
well, Aves hell look promesing...
Eventually, EVERYTHING will be ported to AveDesk 1.2/SysStats 2.5. I've JUST started testing 2.5 for Judge and it promises to be everything necessary to make this work. AveDesk 1.2 is (by my guess) about midway thru the hardcore testing and ALREADY has the features to run standalone (and it runs GREAT flying solo -- resource useage still tends to be a bit naggy but Andreas is working on it). Samurize does the job but wasn't really designed for this kind of thing (kudos to NeM for making Samurize flexible enough to accomodate). Ave 1.2 and Stats 2.5 are being designed WITH shell replacement in mind.
A lot of the reported problems so far have been related to the shell swapper we're using -- something which I'm going to deal with VERY soon. Other little issues have been mainly because I have my install on the D: drive -- again, something I'll be rectifying VERY soon.
It's VERY beta -- so bear with us as the development cycle could end up reaching 6 months before we go for the official release.
Can't wait to see what this will look like now that Systats 2.5 and Avedesk 1.2 are released.
