very nice. you ain’t never lied when recommending dope software. i downloaded it and i’m enjoying it; it’s so much cleaner than the windows stuff. it took me a minute to get used to it and figure out all the features, but it’s bangin. i even set it up to the point that all the other users still have their original windows shell while i use geoshell… very nice!

hey good to hear from you :). yeah i reallly like that i’ve reclaimed a ton of my desktop space on my laptop (even if i am running 1400×1050).

there’s a bit of plugins available so you should find what you need for nearly anything…it took me a second to realize that that little tab that shows the date (on the left of your screen) also is a “run” window…so take note ;)

just learned a little something about MT in updating that post–it’s buggy in the update area.

unfortunately for this product–many settings have you editing the registry–a major inconvenience, IMO. check here for the speicifics of alpha blending:

you can use CTRL + Right-click on a task button on GeoTasks to change the alpha blending level of applications (if you are using windows 2000 or XP)
