Just curiosity more than anything, and I suppose this question should have probably been mailed to Stardock, but anyway...
Has there ever been thought given to a "lite" version of WB? And when I say lite, I mean a very minimal version of WB. Not a uis1, but a full implementation of WB that ONLY skins the windows themselves. No StartBar, no XP extras, no menus - just the windows themselves.
The reason I ask is simple. For those who use shells, and shell enhancements, there's really no reason for these other parts to be skinned, and no reason to use those resources for something that the user will never see. Whether it's Litestep, Nextstart, Hoverdesk, DX, Objectbar, or any of the many other choices involved, those other parts seem to me to be a waste of resources. I'm not saying that skins should be created just for "WB lite". I see no reason why this possible version shouldn't simply ignore those extra parts.
So, am I missing something obvious in asking this?
Anyone else see any merit in this request?
Or should I just wait for the rocks to start flying?
