Autumn Shell 1.1

The Autumn Shell was designed to be a shell replacement for operational system Windows. It has more advanced interface, original view than standard Windows shell. "Start" menu is designed as the panel that has more advanced features than standard menu: file management, program management, quick start for the most often used programs, installation-specific settings – which all collected in one place. The main menu /master menu/ is divided on sections and each of them could be minimized, if it is seldom used.

Task panel slightly differs from the standard task panel. Instead of a standard clock you could have a clock which let you to change size, style and font color, to set any time format. Application buttons on the task panel are stretched out all panel width, what lightens switching between programs. Autumn Shell includes a file manager. Unlimited amount of file manager’s windows could be opened at the same time and any of them could be fixed at the top of the screen, also they could be minimized.

Desktop also differs from a standard desktop. In the bottom of it, under the clock, you could see a calendar for current month. The desktop is divided to two parts. On the right part large programs’ icons are placed (standard size 32x32px), the left part of the screen has the thinner width and contains small programs’ icons. Seldom used programs’ icons could be moved to the left part for having more free space on a desktop. General system settings (administration, control panel, devices dispatcher) are situated at one of the sections of the main menu.
