I don't use windowblinds, I use the UXTheme multipatcher which allows me to use the Windows theme system to run other themes. Nothing runs in the background.
Astonshell sucks too... at least for me it did. it slowed down all of my games by a whole lot.

I personally liked Aston, but have since reverted back to the Windows shell. Aston 1.9 is slowly becoming dated and Aston 2 doesn't seem like it's in the near future to facilitate my continued use.
It never slowed down any program I ever used... but it did have the occational fatal error that I don't experience while using the windows shell.

What is wrong with using different themes to suit your likes? If you're not limited to one thing, why limit yourself?

Its all a matter of perspective I guess. Going to ITT, you will be subjected to the posiest of posers. People walking around wearing t-shirts with their computer specs on it. People asking me "Hey, do you know any cool programs i can download? I want my computer to be leet."
Ive even over hear the worst sentence I have ever heard in my life. "Hey if we make our computers look cool enough, people might think we are hackers."
All of these people, 4-5 hours a day tops. Im on a computer more hours that Ive slept in my lifetime. (Hmm, program idea) They don't even know what a nerds wristband is.
Bah, disgusting.
I hate to sound contradictory to what im saying about these people, but after enough hours and enough years the computer is a computer to you anymore.
When I see the "leet" desktops that line comes back to me.
