I was pretty cool, but it seemed to use a lot of resources. My machine would just stop working and when I looked at the memory usage tab, this was the first time I ever needed swap. At times both the physical and swap were at 100% used. Then when I tried to unload it, it wouldn't go away. Most of it did, but the window borders stayed through several reboots. I had to reinstall my os anyway, but I don't think I'll try that one again. Aquatic looks pretty cool. I'm going back to get Assimilated, it's almost just like a WindowBlind I had back in my windows days. -s
