Other than.."extended functionality such as monitoring the memory and cpu usage of your PC, (which I don't think people care too much about with today's more powerful PCs) taking notes or displaying weather informations." I didn't see much specifics about how this interface especially helps anyone. There is also a forum which got little following and looks more like a troubleshooting site. The download of 32mb seems to work, but I cancelled it.

What is SharpEnviro?

SharpEnviro (or SharpE) is an open source shell replacement system for Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. When using SharpEnviro the default Windows desktop is replaced by a new and more powerful desktop environment. The goal of SharpEnviro is not only to create a user friendly desktop environment which provides many advanced and modern desktop features, but to also create a desktop environment which is easily configurable and which you can customise to your needs. You can decide how your desktop will look like and how it will work – adjust your desktop environment to work like you want it to.

Create multiple toolbars

When using SharpEnviro you can create multiple freely configurable toolbars. Those toolbars are similar to the Windows task bar, only that you can now configure how many of them you want and what content you want in them. Special Modules are available for the toolbars which provide extended functionality such as monitoring the memory and cpu usage of your PC, taking notes or displaying weather informations. Until now over 20 different Modules for your toolbars are available, offering many new possibilities in how you can use your computer.

Easily configurable

A big part of SharpEnviro is SharpCenter, a unified graphical interface with which every aspect of the shell can be configured. It’s designed to be easily used and accessible by the everyday user without any deep knowledge about computers. Even though it uses a simple graphical interface it still allows you to fine-tune the more advanced features of the shell to your needs.

To make getting to know all settings and possible configurations even easier SharpCenter includes an integrated help system. If you want to know what you can do with all the settings SharpEnviro offers, just click the little help icon in SharpCenter to find about it.
