This is one great piece of software. Aston is one of the best shell/ theme
change I have tried and is content with in terms of speed and stability as
others are nice and pretty but just crashes or slow down PCs.

" Aston 1.8.2 by Gladiators Software: Aston 1.8.3 is a desktop manager and
shell replacement for Windows. It fully replaces the standard Windows desktop
and delivers a host of unique features including skinnability and various forms
of customization. Aston contains all the main Windows Desktop’s elements, like
Desktop, TaskBar, Tray, Main Menu, DDE (without it, installers may corrupt),
Drag&Drop. Aston is based on fully original code and is not a clone of any other
shell. Program code has been optimized for size and speed."
