Talisman is nifty! There are a slew of really nice themes and such for it available and it does some very nice things that even windowblinds and such can't do.

is it safe to use.

i heard from somewhere that using other shells was potentially likely to crash computers rather often.

i am curious if this does, and also does it use more CPU power. i am considering it an option but i'd like to be comfortable in the fact that it will be an advantage rather than a disadvantage to have.

I've used it off and on, yes it eats more memory/cpu than the default shell (depending on theme), no i've not had any stability issues under old talisman on 98se or with current talisman on xp.

Edit: It's not really to much an issue in all honesty, you can switch between windows shell and talisman fairly easily. I think talisman can be run without using it as a shell too (but you loose some features... or maybe I'm thinking of windowblinds?)

Hmmmm i might look into it.

you see i havea 2.4Ghz with 1Gb ram.

but i need most of that for 3d animation and image manipulation, so yeah i'd need to be able to turn it off super quick LOL.



does it work by just overlaying basicly a program over the top of the screen in the mode without using the shell?

It surely uses more memory, but not sure about more CPU power.

Anyway, you can run it as just an app. without replacing windows shell with it.
