Windows 98 Shell and Skins

[FoxHound]

With all the new power toys I installed for my OS I think its appropriate to update the skin as well.besides As long as there is a way to do it,why not try it?

[PROBLEMCHYLD]

All i need is control panel icons/toolbar icons/winxp blue taskbar

and i will be very happy.

I used windows blinds I got object desktop 2002 as a gift back around when XP came out but then I stopped using it when My machine crashed (should have never installed windows ME )

I don't see why you would have a problem using it with 385 MB ram Being as I only had 48 MB back then on a 500 mhz celeron

you have t use an old version because the latest and greatest just dosen't support windows 98

What about WinStep? It loads as a shell, so no masking, etc. I've used it for a while on my old P@90MHz/32MB system and it worked great.

That's a good one too. But it usually goes too far from familiar Win interface. Needs some practice to get used to it.

btw. is there any resource-light self-contained (no cygwin, etc.) Enlightenment Win9x port ?
