I want a shell...

Avatar-50x50
Coestar says:

Wanted to ask for some advice about which shell I should use.

I want one that isn't going to suck down all the resources on my computer, and won't freak when I want to play a game (Litestep gave me that problem). I also want something that looks slick and is worth customizing.

Yea, Litestep seems to have a problem with games.

So that leaves Aston, Talisman, Geoshell, Sharpe and conch.. conch? You jackass. :P

I was kinda hoping for some more info, but I guess I'll look these up and see what I can find.

btw, Snowman.. I don't know what your "?!" was meant to imply, but it's not that I don't know of these shells... it's that I don't know what one I want to use. That's why I'm asking people who have already tried them to get some opinions.

well, talisman slows a bit when it comes to large 2-d games... but in my experience it runs fairly quickly with most other app.s...

ok, that's cool. I tested aston out, and it seems to be ok with games. I'll have to test out some 2d games just to be sure.

I'm not gabbing about anything. It might work fine for you, but you're not everyone, so chill.

Well, I guess I'll have to go with Litestep anyway. I really don't feel like wasting money on a shell.

ge0shell is bombass, and so easy to configure colors that you can match ANYTHING! its also easy on the ram and very minimalistic. thats why i used it. what should you use? hell if i care, im not some research tool, go look on the internet.

I just asked if anyone had any suggestions, I didn't put a gun to your head and say "GIMME A SHELL BITCH". If you don't give a shit, just don't reply.

I can never get black box to work :( Like, the installation is confusing.

Well, as I said: LiteStep might not give YOU problems, but that doesn't mean it doesn't give anyone else problems.

However, I made this deduction by watching my friend try to play games with LiteStep installed. His computer has problems with it, mine doesn't. Thus, I'm using LiteStep now.
