I used Windows Blinds along with Kapsules for some time, but I just removed it cause Windows Blinds is just to buggy, for instance in Kasperesky the tabs appear smaller than the text. Honestly I was searching for a real "full" shell, I tried sharpe and Xoblite and they have some cute bars and desktop but they don't work the title bar, I tried Litestep, it's great but is just old.., I was wondering what Shell's may have all those functions, desktop, start menu, applications title bar, etc. Post what shell's most of you use and how happy are you with them?
