Sorry. The posts have been wrong. You could in fact make a shell in blitzplus. You could utilize just the windows desktop background and create your own application to make a window (type 0 for borderless) at the bottom of the screen. Put a canvas and bmps on that and start coding! Users could run applications by clicking on somewhere in your app and it would come up above your window. I may be experimenting with doing this so I'll keep you posted.
