Too much is never enough
Aston looks similar to the desktop you're already familiar with, but its components offer more functionality:
# Toolbars ((side panels on the left and right sides of the screen) give
you easy access to the most needed documents, applications and web
links.
# Multistate Taskbar buttons let you know exactly if a certain window is
active or minimized, they also adapt to the width of the Taskbar and
are thus easier to manage: no precious screen space is wasted.
# Aston Quick launch can be as small as a single button: easy access to your shortcuts without turning the Taskbar into a
garbage dump.
# You can hide and restore System Tray icons with a single click or keystroke. This
feature even works under Windows 98/Me/2K.
# Keep your Desktop clean: use the Panel plug-in to organize your files without turning the desktop into a dumping ground.
#
Desktop icons can have any size, any form (thanks to alpha-blending) and can be animated as well. Get rid of regular limitations.
# Aston Disks and Trash Can let you visually monitor their fill states
# A built-in Hotkey Manager makes your work with Aston even more pleasant and effective.
# Much more... just install Aston and find it
yourself.
Fast, solid and powerful
We've spent a lot of time polishing Aston in order to make sure it runs
as fast as possible. No matter if you have a five year old PC or a
powerful high-end system, Aston is always the right choice. Aston,
running with its most feature packed eye candy Themes usually consumes
about half the RAM that the Windows XP desktop needs and gives you much
more in return. Aston is known to be one of the most stable Windows
shells ever. It's even far more solid than the Windows 98/Me shell.
Do you need an additional clock on your desktop? Or maybe a weather
forecast? No problems! Just activate additional Aston plugins and enjoy.
Plugin files are small to download and only require seconds to install.
You can tweak any parameter of your Aston desktop using a simple GUI
interface: no need to read complicated manuals every time.
Ordinary
Windows Themes make only
few changes to the look of your system. Windows XP Visual Styles just
decorate it a little. With Aston you'll get a fast, beautiful, reliable
and easily controlled desktop and would never wish to switch back.
Interesting facts: The
latest version
of Aston Desktop with a modern eye-candy Theme usually needs 8 to 16
Mb RAM, which is about a half of flat Windows XP Desktop memory
footprint.
Top 5 reasons to switch to Aston
1. Speed.
Most desktop enhancement
software tools
slow down your system, consuming additional memory and processor
resources. Unlike these tools, Aston completely replaces your old
desktop and releases your computer's resources for other tasks. Aston
runs nicely on systems that labor with the normal Windows XP desktop.
2. Reliability.
Tested extensively on numerous computers Aston is known to be the most
stable program of this kind. It's much more stable than competing
programs and even the native Windows 98 and Me desktop.
3. Power.
Whether you have Windows XP or Windows 98, Aston runs smoothly on any
system, providing you with additional toolbars, launch panels and other
useful components, allowing you to get more control on your system.
4. Beauty.
Aston looks great out of the box and if you want more, you can get free
Themes from our Themes section or one of numerous related sites. You
can change the look and feel of your Desktop with few mouse
clicks.
5. Flexibility.
Create your own desktop and make it look and behave the way you like.
That's the main idea behind Aston. Bind hotkeys, tweak desktop
components, instal plugins, never lose control over your desktop. No
wizardry here, everything is simple. Even if you're not an experienced
designer or
programmer, you can create your own desktop the way you want it, not
like someone else does.
