Yeah there was a bunch of alternative shells for Windows going way back... I completely forgot until I saw this but I used to use one in the 90s or early 00s.

- riffraff 7y agoIIRC I used litestep for a while, and it felt awesome. The weird themes were something that made sense in a world where Winamp skins where a fertile ground for UI experimentation, and would probably be shunned today. Still, AFAIR, there wasn't much deep innovation on the UX front, it still boiled down to the same operations as explorer.exe, while this Cairo thing seems to push things a bit more.
