    Talisman Desktop is a shell-replacement program, WindowBlinds isn't shell-replacement, just customization tool for standard Windows GUI

  10. A simple and fast task launcher and switcher. Press a custom assigned mouse/keyboard key, the menu pops up at the place of the mouse cursor, move to the desired task, release the key, and that is all! Can not be quicker or easier!.
