IDEA: Windows shell that's just a desktop
geektechnu:
Something super-lightweight that mimics the behaviour of the Windows desktop.
- Icons
- Wallpaper
Once loaded as a shell, other programs could be run on top of it.
Would make a good base for people who use programs like Objectbar, or Docks.

i'm not sure i fully understand this request, though it sounds intriguing..
bob:
Have you checked the shell page at Shell City. There are lots of minimal shells there.
geektechnu:
Had a look at the shells page just now - couldn't find what I was after.
To clarify:
- There are many programs that add to/replace the taskbar/start menu.
- I'd like a shell that emulates the desktop *only*, with the normal expected desktop behaviour.
- Windows would load this "desktop" as a shell, then you could load ObjectBar directly on top of it.
If anyone knows of something that is already available, I'm all ears :)
mouser:
i still don't really understand this request - probably because im not very familiar with what dif desktop/screen/explorer shell replacements do.. but i am curious to hear more about this idea.
